About the Iceland eSIM

Popular with Australian travellers heading to Reykjavik, the Golden Circle and the Ring Road.
Data only, with no local phone number: use WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime for calls. Delivered by email in minutes, so you can install it before you fly. Your plan starts when you connect in Iceland.

Iceland eSIM questions
How much does the Iceland eSIM cost?
Data plans start at $4.95 for 1GB over 7 days, and 10GB for 30 days is $13.95. Prices are in AUD, with no roaming charges on top.
How much data do I need in Iceland?
Most travellers use about 1GB a day with maps, messaging and some social media, so 10GB ($13.95) covers a week. Just maps and messages? 3GB ($7.95) is enough for a week. Streaming or a laptop hotspot? Pick 50GB ($45.95). See how much data each app uses.
Which networks does the Iceland eSIM use?
It uses Nova and Síminn, and joins whichever has the best signal where you are. You get 5G where the network has it, if your phone supports 5G, and 4G everywhere else.
Does it work on the Ring Road?
Almost all of it. There are short gaps in the east fjords and on some remote stretches in the north-east.
Does it work in the highlands and on F-roads?
Mostly no. The interior and F-roads have little or no signal. Download offline maps and leave your route with safetravel.is before you drive in.
Which apps help on an Iceland road trip?
Vedur.is for weather and the northern lights forecast, Umferdin.is for road closures, and the 112 Iceland app to share your location in an emergency.
Does it work at the Blue Lagoon and on the Golden Circle?
Yes. The Blue Lagoon, Thingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss all have good 5G or 4G.
When does my Iceland plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Iceland. Install it on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly: the days don't start counting until you land.
Can I use the Iceland eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Every Iceland plan can share its data with a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner's phone. Anything you share comes off the same plan.
Does the Iceland eSIM include calls and texts?
No, it's data only, with no local number. Call and text over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Your Australian number stays on your phone, so texts like bank codes still arrive.
