Install it at home on Wi-Fi before you fly, and you're set for the islands. - **Getting around:** Your eSIM runs on Ålcom, which offers 5G. Light use with maps and messages is about 1.8 GB a week, so 3 GB for 15 days gives plenty of room for trips to Eckerö, Sund or Kökar. - **Staying in touch:** WhatsApp messages run on your eSIM data, so people at home can reach you as usual, and your home number stays on for calls and texts. Read how to [keep WhatsApp and your home number](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number). - **Running low:** Most plans can be topped up, so if a long day of maps runs your data down, you can add more mid-trip without buying another eSIM. ## Questions ### How much is an eSIM for Åland Islands?
