Iceland Daily eSIM — Never Run Out of Data
Daily-renewing data plan for your Iceland trip: choose 1GB–10GB high-speed data per day and the exact number of days you need (1–30 days). Once your daily high-speed allowance is exhausted, speeds are reduced — maps and messaging still work, unlike fixed-data plans where connectivity drops entirely.

Using mobile data in Iceland: local tips
- Check your phone before you fly. Iceland has been switching off its 2G and 3G networks, and Safetravel advises checking that your phone works before arrival because it can affect 112 calls. If 112 fails, call +354 599 0112.
- Canyons and valleys drop signal. Coverage along the coast is generally good, but narrow canyons and deep valleys can lose signal — move to higher ground. In the highlands, a text message often gets through when a call won’t.
- Install the SafeTravel app. The official SafeTravel app can send your GPS location to 112 in an emergency and shows current road and weather conditions — set it up before you head out.
- Road conditions on umferdin.is. The Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration posts road and weather conditions on umferdin.is, in English too. Check before setting off and again on long drives when the weather changes.
- Buses without a local number. Capital-area Strætó buses take contactless payment, and the Klappið app sells fares and tracks buses live. You can log in anonymously instead of with a phone number.
- Keflavík Wi-Fi has no time limit. At Keflavík Airport, connect to “KEF - FreeWiFi”: it is free with no time limit and needs no registration or password.

FAQ
Depends on your chosen plan: 1GB/day → 512 Kbps; 2GB/day → 1 Mbps; 3GB/day → 512 Kbps; 5GB/day → 512 Kbps; 10GB/day → 512 Kbps. After that, you stay connected until your daily high-speed allowance resets.
eSIM plans for Iceland connect via Nova, Síminn. Your device automatically selects the strongest local network; 5G is available where supported by the carrier, otherwise 4G/LTE applies. The specific carrier for each plan is listed on its detail page.
Daily plans provide a fixed amount of high-speed data refreshed each day (e.g., 1 GB/day). Once the daily high-speed limit is reached, speeds are reduced but connectivity remains — the full high-speed allowance resets the next day. Fixed-data plans end completely once exhausted; additional data must be purchased.
Essentially similar to "unlimited" plans on the market: you always stay connected, but speeds are reduced after exceeding your daily high-speed data allowance. We clearly state the reduced speed for each plan so you can choose the right one—no vague marketing.
Select the exact number of days for your trip — from 1 to 30 days. Pricing is per day: travel for 5 days, pay for 5 days — no need to overbuy a 30-day package.
1 GB/day is enough for maps, messaging, and social media. 2–3 GB/day if you frequently watch videos or make video calls. 5–10 GB/day for livestreaming or sharing a hotspot with your group.
For most plans, validity starts from the first time your eSIM connects to a network at your destination—you can safely install it at home before flying. Exact details for each plan are clearly stated on its product page.
