An Iceland eSIM gives you mobile data for trips lasting from one day to 180 days. Plans include fixed data allowances from 1GB to 50GB, as well as an unlimited option, so you can choose based on your itinerary and how heavily you use your phone.
Coverage & networks
In Iceland, the eSIM connects to Nova and Síminn networks, with 5G available. It is designed for use within Iceland only.
How much data you need
A 1GB or 3GB plan may suit light use such as messages, maps and occasional browsing. Choose 5GB or 10GB for regular navigation, social media and travel searches. Larger 20GB or 50GB plans, or unlimited data, are available if you stream, share photos frequently or use your phone heavily. You can top up if you need more data during your trip.
Setting it up
Choose a plan duration from 1 to 180 days, then follow the installation and activation instructions provided with your eSIM. Options are available for trips of 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 15, 30 or 31 days, as well as longer stays.
