Faroe Islands eSIM

The Faroe Islands also have physical SIM cards for sale. Still, access for temporary visitors is not always easy to come by. Purchasing an eSIM in advance for your trip is the more convenient option — taken care of at home, activated upon arrival, no visit to a retail store necessary.

After purchasing, a QR code is sent to your email. To install it, go into your phone's cellular or mobile data settings and look for the option to add a new eSIM or plan.

After you get the QR code from your mailbox, go to your phone's cellular settings and tap add more plan. Point your camera at the QR code, wait for the profile to download, then select the new eSIM as your default data line.

Login Your eSIM Cards Account. Your active plan status shows your current data balance and validity left. You can also consult your phone's native data usage monitor (Settings > Mobile Data or Cellular, on most platforms).

Yes — that is the whole point. Head to the Faroe Islands page on eSIM Cards, pick a plan that suits your trip, and complete the checkout. A QR code is sent to your email once payment is confirmed. From there, install it on your device as described above.

They do not use the euro – they use the Danish krone (DKK) on the Faroe Islands. The islands are a self-governing territory of Denmark, and are not part of the EU, so the euro is not accepted as a standard currency.

For most tourists, the best SIM card in the Faroe Islands is a plan that covers your full stay with a comfortable data allowance. eSIM Cards give you that with many more benefits.

The best prepaid option is one that matches your actual travel pattern rather than the biggest or cheapest plan available. eSIM Cards' Faroe Island SIM card equivalent plans are all prepaid with fixed costs — no contracts, no carrier registration, no risk of unexpected charges.

For most visitors, eSIM is the more practical choice. A physical SIM card means sourcing one after you land — from the airport or in Tórshavn — which takes time and is not always straightforward for short-stay visitors. An eSIM can be purchased and installed before departure, activates automatically on arrival, and runs alongside your home SIM without replacing it.

Yes. WhatsApp is tied to your home phone number, which stays with your home SIM — not the eSIM. Because the two run simultaneously on the same phone, your WhatsApp number remains active and accessible throughout your trip.
