Why Get an eSIM for Finland?
- Online from Helsinki Airport, ready for the train, a taxi, or a ride app.
- Digital tickets everywhere. Trains, museums, and city passes are often on your phone.
- Keep your number for bank codes and messages from home.
- Avoid roaming fees if your carrier is outside the EU.
How to Choose a Finland eSIM
Trip length
Pick a plan that covers your whole stay plus a spare day for flight times. egoViet plans can't be topped up, so it is better to size up than to run short. If your high-speed data does run out, you stay online at a basic speed of around 128 kbps, enough for messaging.
How much data you use
Maps and messages use little data. Aurora photos, video calls, and streaming use much more. Here is a guide to how much data you need when you travel.
Where you are going
For Finland alone, a Finland eSIM is the best value. If you are also visiting Sweden, Estonia, or Norway, see the Europe eSIM below.

How to Set Up Your Finland eSIM
- Check your phone is eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked. See our eSIM compatibility list.
- Buy your plan. The QR code arrives by email within minutes.
- Install it at home on Wi-Fi with our installation guide.
- When you land in Finland, switch the eSIM on, set it for mobile data, and turn on data roaming for that line. Keep data roaming off on your home SIM.
Tips for Staying Connected in Finland
- Install an aurora alert app and check cloud forecasts in Lapland.
- Keep your phone warm. Batteries drain fast in the Arctic cold, so carry it in an inside pocket and bring a power bank.
- Use the HSL app for Helsinki's public transport.
- Signal can drop in remote wilderness. Download offline maps for hikes and husky trips.
- Need to call? egoViet eSIMs are data-only, so use WhatsApp or FaceTime. Here is how calling works with a data-only eSIM.
