Iceland travel data eSIM
What is an Iceland eSIM?
Explore Iceland’s dramatic landscapes, from the geysers of the Golden Circle to the rugged Ring Road, without worrying about local SIM cards. This eSIM gives you immediate data access upon arrival in Reykjavík or at remote trailheads. It connects you to major Icelandic networks, ensuring you can navigate, book tours, or share photos as you traverse the volcanic plateau and glacial rivers that define this Nordic island nation.
Your data plan activates only when you first connect to a network in Iceland. It links to Nova 5G and Síminn 5G infrastructure. The validity period begins at that first connection point. You choose a data allowance and duration that fits your itinerary, whether it is a short city break or a longer road trip along the coast.

Which networks you connect to in Iceland
The eSIM connects to Nova 5G and Síminn 5G networks within Iceland. Actual availability depends on the specific operator’s infrastructure at your location. Urban areas like Reykjavík typically have dense network presence, while remote interior regions rely on the reach of these providers. Check your operator’s local maps to understand where their services are physically available during your stay.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which networks does the Iceland eSIM use?
It connects to Nova 5G and Síminn 5G. This means your device links to these specific Icelandic providers. Availability at your exact location depends on their physical infrastructure, so check their local coverage maps before traveling to remote areas.
Does this work in Greenland or Norway?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in Iceland. If you are visiting neighboring regions like Norway or Greenland, you need a regional plan designed for multi-country travel to ensure connectivity in those specific jurisdictions.
Which plan size fits a trip to Reykjavík and Akureyri?
As a rough guide, the 5GB / 30 days plan may suit a standard trip covering these two cities. Heavier data usage, such as constant video streaming, might require the 10GB option, while light browsing could be covered by the 3GB plan.
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.
