“The application is good and the coverage depends on chosen supplier. Some suppliers are good, others need to be enhanced. The speed and coverage depends on the service provider and on the country infrastructure. Rate is acceptable.”

Norway Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Norway

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Norway, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

Norway offers roughly 150 travel eSIM providers and more than 9 700 prepaid data plans. This large selection gives travelers a wide variety of options, making it easy to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Norway?

Unlimited data eSIM plans are available for travelers heading to Norway. Several providers offer such plans, including abesteSIM, Roamify, MicroEsim, Roambit, Yesim, Billion Connect, Truely, Orange Travel, FairPlay, and Airhub. Each of these plans offers unlimited data over 5G networks, and most allow tethering, although the speed may be throttled during use. The price for unlimited data varies from approximately $2.08 for a single‑day validity up to about $38 for a 10‑day period, so travelers can choose a plan that fits their budget while still covering the full duration of their stay.

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 support SMS are available for Norway. Providers that offer such plans include GlobaleSIM, Roamify, Orange Travel, and TravelKon. These plans use foreign dialing codes—GlobaleSIM supplies a +1 number (U.S./Canada), while Roamify, Orange Travel and TravelKon provide numbers with +33 (France) or +34 (Spain or Portugal). Consequently, no local +47 Norwegian number is provided. The offerings cover a range of data caps from 1 GB to 100 GB, with validity periods between 7 days and 30 days. Prices typically start around $4 for a 1 GB GlobaleSIM plan, rise to about $15 for a 15 GB Roamify plan, and reach roughly $22–$25 for 20 GB Orange Travel or TravelKon plans. Voicemail and SMS capabilities are either inbound only or both inbound and outbound depending on the provider.
