Is there mobile coverage outside the city on aurora tours?

Along the main roads and in villages, yes, Telenor and Telia reach surprisingly far north. But on remote fjord pull-offs and through mountain tunnels the signal drops, so download offline maps and your forecast before heading out.

Can I use the same plan if I fly on to Svalbard or south?

Within mainland Norway, yes, this one national eSIM covers you everywhere from Tromsø to Oslo. Svalbard is the exception, though: its network sits outside standard mainland coverage, so do not count on the plan working there.

Good to know in Tromsø

In winter the aurora dictates your evening, so keep data on to track live KP-index and cloud forecasts and pivot toward clear skies. In summer the midnight sun means round-the-clock daylight for exploring.

Two simple ways to buy

Tromsø eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

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

The practical bit

Getting around Tromsø on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Tromsø

Svipper— Tromsø's bus-ticket app for city and regional routes across Troms.
Entur— Nationwide planner and tickets for buses, trains and ferries across Norway.
Norway Lights— Visit Norway's aurora app, rating your chances each night and where to go.
Yr— The go-to Norwegian weather app for cloud cover, vital when hunting the aurora.

How long to stay in Tromsø

Most winter visitors stay three to four nights in Tromsø to give the aurora several chances, plus time for the cable car, a whale-watching trip and the museums.

How much data for Tromsø

Aurora chasing is data-hungry, with constant forecast checks, GPS and photo uploads, so plan for 3-5 GB over a few nights, or Unlimited if you will live-stream the lights or hotspot a camera.

Coverage in Tromsø

Telenor and Telia cover Tromsø city, Kvaløya and the main aurora roads with solid 4G and 5G, but signal fades on remote fjord pull-offs, mountain passes and inside the island tunnels, so carry offline maps.

Peace of mind

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

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

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.

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.
