eSIM for Norway
Covered by our Europe plan, from $10.00.
What the network is actually like
Surprisingly good for the terrain, with coverage along most roads and in the fjord towns. Deep fjords and tunnels are the obvious exceptions, and there are a lot of tunnels. Coverage on the Hurtigruten coastal route is intermittent.
Networks: Telia, Telenor
How much data you'll need
Call it 10GB for a fortnight, because you'll be driving and the navigation never stops.
