Your Faroe Islands eSIM in two questions
Which Faroe Islands eSIM plan do I need?
Your trip length and how much you use your phone decide the plan, so here is where each kind of trip lands.
- A three-day city break in Tórshavn: Standard use comes to about 2.1 GB, so 1 GB a day for 3 days covers messages, maps and plenty of harbour photos.
- A fortnight touring the islands: Standard use over 14 days is about 9.8 GB, so 10 GB for 30 days gives you room to roam between Klaksvík, Vestmanna and Saksun.
- A week-long business trip: With streaming and hotspot use, 2 GB a day for 7 days covers long working days.
- A month-long stay: Standard use over 30 days is about 21 GB, so 20 GB for 30 days leaves plenty of room for day trips out to Gjógv.
Most plans can be topped up, and the longest plan runs for 30 days.
