Best SIM and eSIM for Iceland: data plans, Wi-Fi and phone tips

Use your existing SIM if it is from the EU or EEA: it works in Iceland at home-plan prices. Otherwise, eSIMs work, and Síminn, Nova and Vodafone sell prepaid SIMs at Keflavík and petrol stations. Compare current plan prices and allowances before buying; those details are not confirmed here.

eSIMs work in Iceland. The available facts do not identify a best provider, list plan allowances, or confirm prices and validity. Compare those details directly with providers before purchase, and check that your handset supports eSIM and that the plan covers Iceland.

Síminn, Nova and Vodafone sell prepaid SIMs at Keflavík and petrol stations. Current bundle prices, data allowances, purchase conditions and shop hours are not confirmed here; check with the operator or seller before relying on a specific plan or location.

Coverage is good along Route 1 and in towns. It is patchy in the highlands and Westfjords valleys, so do not assume continuous service on those routes. The available facts do not specify coverage for individual roads or locations.

Free Wi-Fi is available almost everywhere, including many hire cars; a car router may cost extra. The available facts do not specify Wi-Fi speeds, named venues or call-app performance. Iceland's country code is +354, and phone numbers have seven digits.

Choose between your existing SIM, an eSIM and a local prepaid SIM based on your phone and current plan terms. Keep the coverage gaps in the highlands and Westfjords valleys in mind when travelling there.
