A local SIM card in Iceland is not essential, especially if you have an eSIM. With Vlex eSIM you can get online without buying a physical SIM card.
Mobile internet speeds in Iceland are quite high, with 4G coverage available in most populated areas. Using a Vlex eSIM, you can enjoy a stable and fast internet connection while traveling.
Not all phones support eSIM, so it’s important to check if your device is compatible before your trip. Most modern smartphones, such as iPhone and Samsung Galaxy, support eSIM and can use Vlex eSIM in Iceland.
Mobile network coverage in Iceland includes most towns and popular tourist spots, although it can be limited in remote areas. With Vlex eSIM you’ll be able to use the internet in most locations, but it’s a good idea to check the coverage maps in advance.
A Vlex eSIM can be a more cost-effective option than international roaming because it offers competitive local data rates without high roaming fees. This lets travelers stay connected in Iceland without overspending.
QR arrived a minute after payment. Installed at home over Wi-Fi, data switched on automatically at the arrival airport.
Smooth checkout, QR in about two minutes. Not a single dropout during the trip.
Third purchase here. Pay, scan, go — still works every time.
Couldn't find the QR setting on my Samsung at first. Support replied quickly and walked me through it.
First time using an eSIM — the email guide got me set up in three minutes.
My main SIM stayed in place, bank SMS kept coming while data went through the eSIM. Handy.
