Aland Islands travel data eSIM
What is an Aland Islands eSIM?
Keep your phone connected while exploring the Åland archipelago. This data-only eSIM installs via QR code before you depart. It activates only when your device first connects to local networks in the region. Your home SIM remains active for calls and texts, while the eSIM handles your data needs. Ideal for navigating Mariehamn or hopping between the many skerries without relying on hotel Wi-Fi.
Your connection runs through Ålcom 5G networks. As you move between the main island and the eastern skerries, your device links to available local infrastructure. The plan provides a fixed data allowance for the validity period. Actual network availability depends entirely on where you are physically located within the archipelago at any given moment.
Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Aland Islands
This eSIM connects to Ålcom 5G networks within the Åland Islands. It does not guarantee service in every specific location, as availability depends on the operator’s infrastructure where you stand. Whether you are in Mariehamn or on a remote skerry, your device links to the local network. Check the operator’s general coverage maps for broader context before traveling.
5 plans are available for Aland Islands, from $3.90 up to $38.90. Every plan is data only, delivered by QR code, and starts counting when you connect on arrival.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Aland Islands eSIM use?
It connects to Ålcom 5G networks. This means your phone links to their infrastructure when you are within the archipelago. Network availability depends on where you are physically located within the region.
Does this eSIM work in Finland or Sweden?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in the Åland Islands. If you plan to visit nearby mainland Finland or Sweden, consider a regional plan that includes multiple countries for your trip.
Which plan size suits a trip to Mariehamn and Brändö?
As a rough guide, the 3GB or 5GB plans often suit short stays in two locations. Heavier data use for streaming or maps may require the 10GB option. Assess your typical daily data consumption before choosing.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
