English
An eSIM for the Faroe Islands is a digital data plan for the phone you already own. There is no physical SIM card, no airport lines, and no passport needed. Your plan is ready on your SIMAREA account before you even leave home.
It works safely alongside your normal SIM. You keep your own number for calls and important text messages. Your data goes through the SIMAREA plan. Just turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid high bills.
Coverage comes from Faroese Telecom, the one network these plans use. Your phone connects to it when you arrive.
If you stay longer, top up your current plan with more data. You do not need to buy a new one.
What it is not: a local phone number. If you need a number for verification codes, see virtual numbers.
Faroe Islands eSIM on Faroese Telecom
5GMobile data for a stay in Tórshavn, as a day pass or a fixed plan, on the one network every plan here uses.
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for the Faroe Islands: after its daily full-speed allowance it keeps you connected at a lower speed, and it is billed per day for the days you choose. Fixed plans are one price for the term shown. Nothing on this page is an estimate.
How to get mobile data in the Faroe Islands
Set it up at home the night before. Your eSIM waits quietly until you arrive.
Pick eSIM plan
Choose how long you are there. The day pass is billed per day, so the term is yours to set.
Pay, then scan
Charged from your balance, which you top up with crypto. Your QR code is in your dashboard once the order is paid.
Turn it on when you arrive
Turn on data roaming for your SIMAREA plan when you arrive, and it joins a partner network.
What to know about an eSIM for the Faroe Islands
The specifics that decide whether a travel eSIM is useful once you're actually there.
Runs on Faroese Telecom
Plans for the Faroe Islands connect to Faroese Telecom. Your phone joins it once data roaming is on for the eSIM.
Set up before you go
No SIM card store, no passport check. Install it at home, then turn on data roaming for it when you arrive.
Hotspot sharing
Share your internet with a laptop or a friend, if your plan and phone allow it.
Keep your own number
The eSIM is just for internet. Your normal SIM still receives calls and important bank codes. You can use both at once.
Keep using the same eSIM
Staying longer? Top up the same plan with more data from your dashboard. No need for a new QR code.
If it does not work
Not installed or connected yet? Ask for a refund within 30 days of buying it. Installed but not working on any of its networks? Support helps, and refunds you if it cannot be fixed.
One network on every Faroe Islands eSIM
A Faroe Islands eSIM from SIMAREA connects to a single network, Faroese Telecom, on all seven plans, and each plan marks it 5G. Where 5G isn't available, the plans run on 3G or 4G.
So you're choosing days and data here, not a carrier. Traffic leaves through Israel, which means sites see an Israeli address rather than a Faroese one.
Days and data on the Faroe Islands plans
- Day pass: Faroese Telecom at full speed up to 1 GB a day, then 512 Kbps until the next reset
- 7 days: 1 GB
- 15 days: 3 GB
- 30 days: 3, 5, 10, or 20 GB
1 GB is the smallest size here. Every plan, day pass included, starts counting at the first connection in the Faroe Islands, and an unused plan stays valid for 180 days. All seven top up with more data on the same eSIM; the term stays what you bought.
Coming through Copenhagen or Reykjavík
The Europe lists and Global 130 don't name the Faroe Islands, and neither do the Denmark or Iceland plans. The plans on this page, in turn, name only the Faroe Islands.
So a trip with a few days in Copenhagen or Reykjavík takes two eSIMs: this one, plus a plan for that country. Most phones that support eSIM can keep both installed, and you choose which one to use for data.
Faroe Islands eSIM questions
Does a Denmark or Europe eSIM work in the Faroe Islands?
The Faroe Islands aren't named on the SIMAREA Denmark plans, the Europe lists, or Global 130, so buy a plan from this page for your days there.
Is the Faroe Islands day pass unlimited?
The allowance is 1 GB a day at full speed on Faroese Telecom. After that, the connection continues at 512 Kbps until the day resets.
Does it include a +298 number?
No. Data is all it carries: no number, no calls, no SMS. Your regular SIM keeps your own number, and a number that receives SMS is a separate rental under virtual numbers.
What if I stay longer than 30 days?
A month is the longest Faroe Islands term, and a top-up adds data rather than days. When the term ends, buy another plan from this page.
Can a laptop share the connection?
A laptop can share it if your plan and phone allow it, and it uses the same plan data as the phone.
