What's included
- A QR code by email, usually within seconds and always within minutes.
- The clock starts when you first connect here, not when you pay. Install at home.
- What happens at your allowance is on each row: some plans pause, some slow down.
- Tethering spends the plan's own data. Each row says whether it allows it.
- A top-up adds data with nothing to reinstall. Each row says which plans take one, and each top-up states its own validity.
- Data only, unless a row states a call or SMS allowance. Calling apps work either way.
Not sure how much data?
Start with your recent daily data use, then account for the days away, video calls and any devices you will connect.
- 3 GB
- Maps, messages, light browsing
- 10 GB
- Plus social media and photo uploads
- 20 GB
- Plus streaming and video calls
- Unlimited
- Heavy daily use. The row states the full-speed allowance and the speed after it.

Which networks does the Iceland eSIM use?
Iceland plans run on Nova ehf., Nova, Simmin, 1800, Fjarskipti (VF) Iceland, GSM 900, Nova Iceland, Siminn hf, and Vodafone, reaching 5G on the plans that carry it. Each plan names its own carrier and generation on its row, because they differ from plan to plan. Your phone shows that carrier's name in the status bar, and speed is whatever the local network gives you at that spot.

How fast is the Iceland eSIM?
As fast as the local network is at that spot, which is the same connection residents get. Plans that carry 5G say so on the row, and fall back to 4G where 5G has not reached. Congestion, buildings and your own phone all move it, so no eSIM can promise a number. Unlimited plans state their daily full-speed allowance and the speed after it on the plan row.
Do you set up before travel or on arrival in Iceland?
Before you travel. Install it at home over Wi-Fi, because the validity clock does not start until the eSIM first connects to a network in Iceland. Paying and installing start nothing. Buy as far ahead as you like, as long as you first connect within a year of buying.
Will you pay roaming charges in Iceland?
Not on the SimFuse plan. You pay once, upfront, and nothing arrives afterwards. Your home SIM is the one to watch: calls, texts and data on that line still bill at your carrier's roaming rate, so turn off data roaming and automatic data switching before you land.
How much data do you need in Iceland?
Take the daily average your phone already reports in its cellular settings and multiply it by the days away. Add room for video calls, uploads and anything you tether, since a hotspot spends the same allowance. If you get it wrong, a top-up adds data to the same eSIM on the plans that take one.
Iceland eSIM, frequently asked questions
Can I make calls and send texts?Iceland-specific
No. The plans listed here are data only, with no call or SMS allowance. You can use calling and messaging apps over data.
What is the best eSIM for Iceland?
Iceland eSIM plans from SimFuse start at EUR 1.39. Pick on three things: the data you use in a day, how long you stay, and whether you need to tether. Each plan row below names its network, its validity and what happens when the allowance runs out, so the comparison is on one screen.
Which networks does the Iceland eSIM use?
Iceland plans run on Nova ehf., Nova, Simmin, 1800, Fjarskipti (VF) Iceland, GSM 900, Nova Iceland, Siminn hf, and Vodafone. Each plan names the carrier it uses and the generation it supports on its own row, because they differ from plan to plan. Your phone connects to that local network the way a resident's does, and the name it shows in the status bar is the carrier's.
Can I use the Iceland eSIM as soon as I land?
Yes. Install it over Wi-Fi before you fly, then select it for mobile data when you land and it connects at the gate. The validity clock starts on that first connection in Iceland, not when you paid, so buying ahead costs you nothing.
How much does a Iceland eSIM cost?
Iceland eSIM plans start at EUR 1.39, paid once and upfront, with no bill when you get home. Larger plans cost more in total and less per gigabyte. Every price on this page is live. Calls, texts and roaming on your home SIM stay on your home carrier's tariff.
Can I tether or hotspot in Iceland?
Tethering draws on the plan's own data, so a hotspot spends the same gigabytes your phone does. Each Iceland plan row says whether it allows tethering, and the few that cap it separately or forbid it say so there. Check it before you plan to work off a laptop.
Do I need to keep my home SIM while in Iceland?
Keep it if you want your existing number reachable for calls and texts. On a dual-SIM phone, your home SIM and travel eSIM sit side by side. Calls and SMS included with your travel plan use its own line. Turn off data roaming and automatic data switching on your home line to control its roaming use.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM profile you install from a QR code, with no plastic card to insert. Buy a plan, install it over Wi-Fi before you fly, and it connects when you land. Your home SIM stays in the phone, so your own number keeps working. How eSIMs work, in full →
How does a travel eSIM work?
A travel eSIM is a digital SIM you install on a compatible, unlocked phone. It connects to the networks covered by your chosen plan. Plans provide data; some also include calls and SMS. Check the plan’s allowances and activation instructions before you buy. How eSIMs work, in full →
Is my phone compatible with an eSIM?
Check your exact model and regional version in the compatibility guide, then look for 'Add eSIM' in your phone's settings. The phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Brand and release year are not enough on their own, because some regional versions of an eSIM-capable model ship without it. Check your exact phone model →
When does my data plan start - at purchase or on arrival?
On arrival. The clock starts when the eSIM first connects to a network inside the plan's coverage, not when you pay and not when you install, which is what makes installing at home over Wi-Fi safe. Buy ahead if you like, and connect for the first time within a year of purchase.
