How to verify eSIM support on your device

- Android: Settings → Connections (or Network & Internet) → SIM Cards → look for "Download a SIM instead" or "Add eSIM".
- EID check: most eSIM-capable Android phones show EID in Settings → About Phone → Status.

What to check before buying a travel eSIM
- eSIM hardware: dial *#06# , if an EID number appears, you're compatible.
- Carrier unlock status: phones bought on instalment plans may be locked to your home carrier. Most outright purchases are unlocked.
- iOS version: iOS 12.1 or newer for full eSIM support.
- Android version: Android 9 or newer typically supports eSIM, though it depends on the manufacturer.
- Region-specific variants: some Samsung models sold in Hong Kong or China are dual physical SIM with no eSIM , verify your specific model number.
Travel-friendly phones that don't support eSIM
- iPhones older than XS (iPhone X, 8, 7, 6 series).
- Most budget Android phones (entry-level Samsung A series before A53, Xiaomi Redmi entry models).
- Older Huawei devices without Google Services.
- Region-specific dual physical SIM variants (verify model number).
Tip: if your current phone doesn't support eSIM but you travel often, an unlocked, mid-range eSIM-capable phone (e.g., Pixel 7a, iPhone SE 3, Samsung Galaxy A55) makes an excellent secondary travel device , pair it with a Cellesim plan and you have a full mobile internet kit for any destination.
No! This is the #1 roaming trap.
- For UK Travelers (Post-Brexit): Most UK carriers (like O2, Vodafone, Three) have reintroduced daily roaming fees (e.g., £2-£6 per day) for Norway.
- For US/Canadian/Asian Travelers: Your home carrier will charge expensive "Day Pass" rates (e.g., $10-$14 per day).
Note: Norway is in the EEA, so "Roam Like at Home" only applies to travelers from within the EU. For everyone else, a Cellesim eSIM is significantly cheaper.
Yes, in all towns and key areas. Norway has one of the best 4G/5G networks in the world. Our eSIM connects to premium networks (like Telenor/Telia) that provide strong coverage in all towns (Bergen, Stavanger, Tromsø, Svolvær - Lofoten) and on the main roads. You will have a signal on most of the "Norway in a Nutshell" tour.
Yes, surprisingly often.
- Hiking: You will have a strong signal at the base and at the top of Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen). For Trolltunga, you will have a signal at the start and at the "Troll's Tongue" itself, but you will lose signal on the remote parts of the long hike.
- Trains: You will have a strong signal for most of the Flåm Railway and Bergen Line, but it will drop inside the longest mountain tunnels.
This specific plan is valid only within Norway (or, if it's a regional plan, you'd say "Yes"). This is a critical point. If you take the train from Oslo to Stockholm (Sweden) or the ferry to Copenhagen (Denmark), your connection will stop at the border. For this, we highly recommend our Europe Regional eSIM, which covers all of Scandinavia.
To give you the best speed and coverage, our eSIM connects to Norway’s premium Tier-1 networks, typically Telenor or Telia. Telenor is widely regarded as having the best and most extensive coverage, especially in the remote fjords and northern Arctic regions.
Most modern phones do, but you must check our specific list here: eSIM Compatible Devices to be 100% sure before purchasing.
Yes. You need reliable data to buy digital tickets on the Ruter or Vy apps to travel on buses, trams, and ferries in Oslo without facing fines.
Generally yes. You will have signal near the ports and along the coast, but connection may drop briefly when the Hurtigruten ships cross open sea stretches.
Yes. Norway is a nearly cashless society, and having data for the EasyPark app is essential for parking your rental car or EV in cities and nature spots.
Yes. Reliable data is critical to receive real-time notifications from the "Norway Lights" forecast app so you don't miss the aurora while waiting in the cold.
