Norway

It comes down to how long you're staying and how much data you use. We sell 6 prepaid Norway eSIM plans on Orange, starting at $6.60 for a 3GB, 30-day plan.

For a typical one- to two-week trip, the 10GB, 30-day plan at $13.20 comfortably covers maps, ride-hailing, messaging and social media. If you stream, work remotely or share a hotspot, the 50GB plan has the lowest cost per gigabyte at $0.75/GB.

Norway eSIM prices start at $6.60 for a 3GB, 30-day plan and go up to $37.40 for 50GB over 30 days. Bigger plans work out cheaper per gigabyte, down to $0.75/GB. You pay once, upfront: there's no contract, no subscription and nothing billed to your phone account while you're away. Prices are shown in USD.

Multi-country plans that include Norway start at $2.20.

Our Norway plans run on Orange. The eSIM connects automatically once you arrive, on 4G/LTE or 5G where the network and your phone support it.

Norway plans include a fixed amount of high-speed data and stop when it's used up, so there are never surprise charges. Heavy users should pick the 50GB plan, the largest we offer, or buy another plan when it runs low.

Choose from 30 days. You have 90 days from purchase to start using the eSIM, so you can buy it well before your trip. Install it at home over Wi-Fi, then switch the eSIM line on when you land in Norway, so none of your plan is used before you arrive. Staying longer? Simply buy another plan.

• 1Choose a plan and check out. Your QR code arrives by email straight away.
• 2Before you leave, scan it on your phone: on iPhone go to Settings → Mobile (or Cellular) → Add eSIM; on Android go to Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM. Menu names vary by model.
• 3When you arrive in Norway, select the eSIM for mobile data and turn on data roaming for that line.

If data doesn't start within a few minutes, restart your phone and check that roaming is on for the eSIM. If it still won't connect, set the APN to “orange” in the eSIM's mobile data settings.

Norway-only plans work inside Norway. If your trip continues to the UK, Italy, Spain or Germany, a multi-country eSIM saves you buying a second one:

• EU 32 (Orange): 32 countries, from $2.20
• EU 41: 41 countries, from $2.20
• EU 42: 42 countries, from $2.20
• EU 49: 49 countries, from $2.20

Switch to “Multi-country” above the plans to compare them.

The Norway eSIM is data-only, so it doesn't come with a local phone number or SMS. Anything that runs over data works as normal: WhatsApp, iMessage, FaceTime, Messenger and other calling apps. Hotspot (tethering) is supported, so you can share data with a laptop or a travel companion. Keep your home SIM switched on if you need calls or bank SMS codes, but turn off data roaming on it to avoid your home carrier's charges.

Most phones released since 2019 support eSIM, including iPhone XS/XR and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, as well as eSIM-capable iPads and tablets. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. To check, open Settings and look for “Add eSIM” under Mobile/Cellular on iPhone, or SIM manager on Android.

An eSIM is ready before you fly: no searching for a SIM shop at the airport, no ID or registration, and no tiny SIM card to lose. Your home SIM stays in your phone, and you're online the moment you land to book a ride, check maps or message home. Prices are fixed upfront from $6.60, so there's no roaming bill waiting when you get back.
