120 providers and 7 100 prepaid data plans are available for use in Norway, offering a wide variety of options that make it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Norway?

Yes, several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans for travelers in Norway. The available plans span a wide range of prices and use speeds that are subject to throttling, typically capped at 5 Mbps for most carriers and 256 kbps for the free Firsty option. Pricing for these unlimited plans generally falls between a few dollars and the upper $30 range, with examples including Firsty at $0.00, Yoho Mobile and abesteSIM between about $2.40 and $28.64, Roamify and MicroEsim from roughly $2.50 to $28.00, as well as other providers such as Billion Connect, Truely, Yesim, Airalo and FairPlay, the highest of which charges about $29.47.

If you require a truly unlimited experience without speed caps, you may need to look beyond the standard offerings or choose a plan with a higher allowed speed. Otherwise, estimate your data consumption based on typical activities—such as streaming, navigation, and social media—and pick a plan that comfortably exceeds that estimate to avoid potential throttling or additional fees.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Norway?

Telenor: Norway's largest telecommunications company, offering extensive nationwide coverage and a comprehensive range of mobile services.
Telia: The second-largest provider in Norway, delivering robust mobile services with significant coverage across the country.
Ice: The third-largest mobile operator, known for competitive pricing and a growing network infrastructure.

In addition to these major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Norway hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). MVNOs provide mobile services by leasing access from the major carriers, offering competitive plans on the same infrastructure. Notable Norwegian MVNOs include Talkmore and Chilimobil. However, it's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure, not MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Norway?

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS capability are available for Norway. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Roamify, and LinkeSIM offer packages that give you a virtual SIM with inbound SMS (and in most cases outbound SMS and calls) using foreign dialing codes: GlobaleSIM supplies a +1 number, while Roamify and LinkeSIM provide +33 numbers. These plans cover validity periods typically from 7 days up to 90 days and start at about $4 for a 1GB 7‑day GlobaleSIM plan, $15 for a 15GB 30‑day Roamify plan, and $25 for a 20GB 31‑day LinkeSIM plan. Because the numbers are not local Norway (+47) numbers, travelers should be aware that they will receive a foreign‑country number but can still use the plan for local use within Norway.
