Travel eSIM Iceland

These eSIMs don’t include voice minutes - data only. For any calling or texting, you’ll need to rely on VoIP or messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Viber, or Messenger.

Yes! Your Iceland eSIM can be installed as early as 30 days before you travel. It won’t start until you touch down in Iceland.

Installing beforehand means no setup stress on arrival, and it won’t use any data or days until you land.

If you get an activation warning on iPhone when installing before arriving, that’s normal - check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for details.

No - our Iceland travel eSIMs are data-only, so they don’t come with a voice line or phone number. Any calls or texts must go through internet apps like WhatsApp or Messenger.

Your eSIM will activate automatically when you arrive in Iceland. Though we recommend installing your Iceland Travel eSIM before you arrive (this is different to activating).

To do this, scan the QR code we provide or install the eSIM directly from the ZenSim app while connected to WiFi. Once you arrive in Iceland, your eSIM will activate automatically.

If you encounter any issues check out our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us directly ☺️

If installed before your trip, it will activate when you land in Iceland.

If installed after arrival, it goes live right away.

Absolutely - using a travel eSIM beats roaming in Iceland for several reasons:

Cost Efficiency: Our Iceland local data rates are much cheaper than pay-as-you-go roaming fees.

Instant Activation: No need to wait for a SIM card; your eSIM goes live as soon as you land.

Data Visibility: Monitor exactly how much you’ve consumed, so there are no hidden surprises on your bill.

Not until you land in Iceland. Installing ahead won’t start your plan; it goes live automatically when you arrive.

Make sure to install before you travel, as WiFi is required for setup and this way your Iceland eSIM will be ready to use when you land.

If you encounter connection issues, see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact support.

Yep! 99% of our eSIMs can be topped up within the ZenSim app with just a couple of clicks. If you run out of data, need more days, or you even want to add a new destination to the same eSIM, you can do all of this in the top up section in the Zen Garden in the app.

Log into the app, navigate to the Zen Garden to find your Iceland service, and you will see a button to up your eSIM right there.

Top up plan options: Iceland top up plans are the same as the plans on the website except with a 10% discount!

Extending a long trip: If you're travelling to Iceland for more than 30 days, you can add as many top ups as you need to your first eSIM to extend the days and data you have. Each top up will only take effect when the previous eSIM is expired so you can purchase the top ups any time you want without worrying about overwriting your existing plan.

Multi country top ups: You can now add multiple countries to most of our eSIMs via top up, so if you're in Europe for example and are stopping over in Dubai on the way home, you can add a Dubai top up to your Europe eSIM so you don't need to reinstall anything. Alternate country top ups will only activate when you arrive in the new country.

Once activated in Iceland, your eSIM typically won’t function outside that country.

If you're planning to hop between countries, we recommend checking out our regional Travel eSIMs - they’re made for multi-country use and cover most major regions.

Easy - once you have purchased your Iceland eSIM, you will be able to access your unique referral URL. From there, simply share it with your people, and when they sign up (provided they're a new customer) you will both save A$5.

For each person you refer you will earn a A$5 voucher on your account which will be automatically applied to your next purchase and as we mentioned your referee will also save A$5 on their order.

The ZenSim app lets you track referrals and copy your referral URL anytime. See our terms for more information.

It might, but only if you're on an unlimited plan and only after you pass 3GB in a single day - which is well above what most people actually use (under 1GB a day on average).

Once you hit that 3GB mark, your speed drops to 1Mbps until midnight, then resets back to full speed for the new day.

If you're on a fixed-data plan like 10GB or 20GB, none of this applies - there's no daily limit, just use your data as needed until the plan runs out. We'll notify you beforehand, and you can top up right away in the ZenSim app.

There's no fixed start date the moment you buy it - your plan sits dormant until you actually arrive in Iceland, so buying and installing it early doesn't cost you any data or days.

Once you land, provided the eSIM is already installed, it activates automatically and that's your official start date.

Your expiry date follows on from there - the plan ends once either your data or your days run out, whichever comes first (or just the days, if you're on unlimited). So a 30-day plan expires 30 days after you land in Iceland, regardless of when you originally bought it.

Definitely - our eSIM compatibility checker is built exactly for this. Punch in your phone details and you'll get an instant answer on whether it works with our Iceland eSIM and networks.

Want a second opinion, or something seems off? Message us and we'll help you out. And even if you do end up buying and it turns out your phone can't use it, our refund policy means a full refund - so there's genuinely no downside to trying.

You're covered - our 100% money back guarantee exists for exactly this situation.

Trip cancelled? Phone not eSIM-compatible? Plans changed and you just don't need it anymore? All of these are covered.

The full details sit in our refund policy, but in short: if you can't install or use the eSIM, we'll give you a full refund. You shouldn't have to pay for something you can't use.
