Is there phone signal on the Preikestolen hike?

Coverage is decent at the car park and, surprisingly, near the famous cliff-top, but it drops along wooded stretches of the trail and deep in Lysefjord. Download an offline map and your parking receipt before you start.

Can I use the same plan for a fjord trip or drive to Bergen?

Yes. It is one national Norway eSIM, so the same data works on the Lysefjord ferry, the drive north to Bergen and everywhere between. A single allowance covers your whole Norwegian trip.

Good to know in Stavanger

The Preikestolen car park uses app-based payment and fills fast in summer, so keep data on to pay, book the shuttle bus and check Yr, then download the trail offline before you lose signal on the plateau.

Two simple ways to buy

Stavanger eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Stavanger eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Stavanger — 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.

Stavanger is your launchpad for the Preikestolen hike, so you will be checking Yr, paying for trailhead parking and timing the Lysefjord ferry all on your phone.

One eSIM for Stavanger and all of Norway. It's the national Norway eSIM — from $2.15/day with unlimited data, working the same in Stavanger as it does the moment you leave it.

How much data for Stavanger

Peace of mind

Your Stavanger eSIM: data-only, zero bill shock.

Your Stavanger eSIM handles the internet while you travel. Your home number stays exactly where it is — no surprise roaming charges in Stavanger, no swapping your real SIM out.

Keep your number & WhatsApp

The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your home SIM. Your number, iMessage and WhatsApp keep working exactly as they do at home.

No roaming bills, ever

Turn data roaming OFF on your home SIM and ON for the eSIM. You pay once, up front — no overage, no metered surprises, no bill waiting when you land home.

One thing worth knowing

Because it's data-only, the eSIM can't receive bank verification (OTP) text codes — those still go to your home number. Keep it reachable on Wi-Fi calling, or use app-based codes.
