Will I have signal on a Geiranger or Trollstigen day trip?

In the villages and along the fjords, generally yes, but the high mountain passes and long road tunnels regularly drop coverage. Download your route, ferry times and any bookings before you head into the Sunnmøre Alps.

Can I use the same eSIM up the coast or on to Bergen?

Yes. This is a single national Norway plan, so the same data works on the Hurtigruten coastal ferry, the drive south toward Bergen and across the whole country on one allowance.

Good to know in Ålesund

Ålesund is the gateway to Geirangerfjord and the Trollstigen road, but these mountain routes and their many tunnels drop signal fast. Keep data on to check Yr and ferry times, then save offline maps before you drive out.

Two simple ways to buy

Ålesund eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Ålesund eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Ålesund — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.
