What travelers say about Iceland
52 customer reviews

“The eSIM worked perfectly during my trip around Europe. It was very easy to install, connected as soon as I arrived, and the internet was fast and reliable everywhere I went. It made travelling much easier because I did not need to buy local SIM cards. Very convenient and worth the price. I would definitely use it again.”
Buy eSIM data plans for Iceland
A Iceland eSIM is a prepaid mobile-data plan for your trip. Install it on a compatible, carrier-unlocked phone before departure, then select it as your data line within the plan's coverage area.
An Iceland eSIM is a data-only plan that connects your phone to a local network the instant you land. Step off the plane at Keflavík International Airport and skip the roaming charges entirely. Your eSIM links to Iceland's mobile networks, Landsiminn (5G) and NOVA (5G), so you are online before you reach the rental-car desk. From there you can pull up maps for the drive into the city, message family back home that you arrived, and check the day's weather and road conditions. No SIM kiosks, no swapping plastic cards, no surprise roaming bill.

How eSIM works in Iceland
Choose a data plan for Iceland, install the eSIM over reliable Wi-Fi before your trip, and follow the selected plan’s activation instructions. Your regular SIM can stay in your phone, while the eSIM gives you mobile data for travel apps, messaging, maps and browsing.

Size it to your trip
Pick the profile closest to your trip. The estimate assumes normal use — maps, messaging, photos, a short call home.
As a rule of thumb, a 3–4 day city break runs on about 1–3 GB, a one-week trip on 3–5 GB, a two-week multi-country tour on 8–12 GB, and working on the road takes about 1 GB a day, so 15 GB or more for two weeks.

In total, a 5 GB data allowance covers roughly 1,700 shared photos, 83 hours of social media and browsing, 15 hours of video calls, 63 hours of music streaming, or about 1000 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.
Important cities in Iceland
Reykjavik · City guide
Reykjavik
Most visits begin and end in the capital, so reliable data here matters. A Reykjavik eSIM lets you navigate between the Hallgrímskirkja church and the old harbour without losing your way, check opening hours on the go, and snap photos of the Sun Voyager sculpture to send home. Coverage in the city centre is strong, so streaming directions or making a quick video call back to family is easy.
Reykjavik eSIM — set up before you fly →Akureyri · City guide
Akureyri
Set on a northern fjord, this town is the gateway to the north and a natural place to pause on a longer loop. A data plan for Akureyri helps you find a place to eat, look up the botanical garden's hours, and stay connected while you plan the next leg of the drive. Coverage near the town itself is dependable, though expect it to thin out once you head into the quieter areas beyond.
Akureyri eSIM — set up before you fly →Vík · City guide
Vík
This tiny village centre sits beside the famous black sand beaches and the south-coast cliffs, a popular stop on the way along the coast. A Vík eSIM lets you check tide and weather warnings before you step onto the sand, share photos of the cliffs, and keep maps loaded for the drive. Data is generally fine around the village, but plan ahead since coverage can weaken between settlements.
Vík eSIM — set up before you fly →Keflavík · City guide
Keflavík
As the airport town, this is where nearly every trip starts, and it has a harbour of its own plus the nearby Blue Lagoon. A data plan for Keflavík means you are connected the moment you land, ready to confirm your rental, book a Blue Lagoon slot, or message family that you arrived safely. Coverage around the airport and town is strong, so those first arrival tasks go smoothly before you set off.

Why choose our eSIM for Iceland
An eSIM means you arrive with data already working instead of paying steep roaming rates or hunting for a kiosk, and for anyone from the diaspora visiting family it keeps you reachable from the moment you land.

Frequently asked questions
Which mobile networks does the Iceland eSIM use?
Your Iceland eSIM connects to local mobile networks, Landsiminn (5G) and NOVA (5G). It automatically selects an available network where you are, so you get fast 5G data in covered areas and fall back to slower speeds in more remote spots.
Will I have coverage on the Ring Road and the Golden Circle?
Coverage is strong in and around towns along the Ring Road and the Golden Circle, so navigation and messaging work well near settlements. Out in the remote highlands and the interior, signal can drop or disappear entirely, so download maps in advance and don't rely on a live connection deep in the wilderness.
Does this plan work for a wider Nordic trip?
This is an Iceland-only plan, built for data within the country. If your trip also takes you to other Nordic or European countries, choose a regional eSIM that covers multiple destinations instead, so you stay connected across borders without buying a separate plan for each stop.
When should I set up the eSIM before arriving in Iceland?
Install and set up your eSIM while you still have Wi-Fi, ideally before you fly. The plan then activates when you reach Keflavík International Airport and connects to a local network, so you walk off the plane already online without needing airport Wi-Fi to get started.
Will my phone work with an Iceland eSIM?
Most recent phones support eSIM and will work, as long as your device is unlocked to accept other networks. It's worth checking your phone's settings for eSIM support before you travel, so you can install the plan and be ready to connect the moment you arrive.
Can I keep my own number and use a hotspot in Iceland?
Yes. The eSIM handles data only, so your usual number stays active for calls and texts over Wi-Fi or your home line, while the eSIM carries your internet. You can also share that data as a hotspot to a laptop or a travel companion's phone where coverage allows, which is handy on the road.
