Choose your plan
Two ways to go: pick a data plan for a set number of gigabytes, or an unlimited plan sized to your trip length so you never think about data.
Data plans
Choose your gigabytes. Best value if you know roughly what you use.
Unlimited plans
Never watch your data. Just pick how long your trip is.
Prices are in USD and payable in crypto. No contract and no auto-renewal, and any balance you do not use stays on your account for next time.
Turning on roaming can cost $10 or more a day. A whole Sweden trip starts at $1.79.
See the plansWhy an eSIM for Sweden
Stockholm is built across fourteen islands where a great lake meets the Baltic, and Sweden fans out from there: the archipelago's thousands of skerries, the red-cottage countryside, and Lapland far in the north. An eSIM keeps you online for maps, ferry times, and translation the moment you land at Arlanda.
Sweden is also the most cashless country on earth, where even a coffee is tap-to-pay and every purchase is tied to a bank. Your eSIM is the quiet opposite: you buy the data before you fly, pay from your crypto balance with no ID, and keep your home number on its own SIM for calls and bank codes.
- Fast, wide 4G and 5G across the cities and the populated south.
- Online on arrival at Stockholm Arlanda, Gothenburg, or Malmo.
- A private, crypto-paid option in the world's most cashless country.
- Pay in crypto with no ID, and keep your home number.
Is a Sweden eSIM right for you?
Whoever you are travelling as, the setup is the same: buy, scan, connect. Here is what it means for you.
Sweden eSIM vs a Swedish SIM vs roaming
Coverage is fast on every option in the cities and the south. The real differences are for non-EU visitors, and for how privately you can pay. Here is how they compare.

EU and EEA visitors roam free on their home plans in Sweden, so this is aimed at non-EU travellers and at anyone who prefers to pay privately in crypto. Costs are rough guides, not quotes.
Coverage and networks in Sweden
Depending on the plan, your eSIM connects to a major Swedish network such as Telia, Tele2, or Telenor. Coverage is fast and near-total across the cities, the populated south, and the main routes, with strong 5G. It thins in the far-northern mountains and the deep Lapland wilderness.
Expect strong eSIM coverage in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmo, with data across the rest of Sweden. Signal follows the local network, so it is strongest in cities and along main routes.
Coverage by area
Fast, near-total coverage across Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmo, and the populated south, with strong 5G. This is where almost all your data goes.
Reliable across the Stockholm archipelago and the west coast, with the odd gap on the outer skerries and the longer ferry crossings.
Signal thins in Lapland, the mountains, and the remote wilderness on any network. Download offline maps before heading up.
How much data do you need in Sweden?
Whether your Sweden trip is 7 days, 2 weeks, or a month, pick the data size to match. Not sure? Slide your trip length below and we will suggest a plan.
A Swedish trip leans on maps, archipelago ferry apps, transit, translation, and photos to the cloud. For a one to two week trip, 5 to 10 GB suits most people. The Unlimited tiers, from 3 to 30 days, suit heavier use or hotspotting a laptop, and you can top up any time.
Estimate your data for Sweden
Social, photos, some video
An estimate to guide you, not a limit. Wi-Fi at your hotel covers a lot, and you can top up any time, so it is fine to start smaller.
Typical usage per hour
Using an eSIM in Sweden's top cities
One Sweden eSIM covers all of these. Here is what to expect, city by city.
eSIM in Stockholm
Fast 4G and 5G across the fourteen islands, from Gamla Stan and Djurgarden to the ferry quays. Your eSIM keeps maps, SL transit, and the archipelago ferry apps live as you cross the bridges.
eSIM in Gothenburg
Reliable coverage across the west-coast city, the canals, and out to the fish market and Liseberg. Handy for the trams, cafe-hopping in Haga, and day trips to the Bohuslan coast.
eSIM in Kiruna
Good signal around the town, the mine, and the Icehotel at Jukkasjarvi, the base for Lapland and the aurora. It thins fast out in the surrounding wilderness, so download offline maps.
Yes, you can call and text in Sweden
Your eSIM is internet. So every calling and messaging app works, just like at home. No new apps to learn, nothing to set up.
Message anyone
WhatsApp, iMessage, Messenger all run over your data.
Call home for free
Voice and video on WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Messenger, no call charges.
Need a real number?
A data eSIM has no number of its own. Add a virtual number for codes and a local line.

Good to know
- •Coverage is fast and near-total across the cities, the populated south, and the main routes, with strong 5G, and thins in the far-northern mountains and remote Lapland.
- •Sweden is nearly cashless, so a phone that stays online matters more than usual, since most payments and tickets are app or card based.
- •EU and EEA visitors already roam free on their home plans here. This eSIM is for everyone else, and for anyone who would rather pay privately in crypto.
- •The eSIM carries data. Keep your home SIM active for calls and bank codes.

Why travellers choose SimVala
“Post-Brexit I don't get free EU roaming any more, so this was perfect for Stockholm. Online at Arlanda, flawless across the city and out to the archipelago. Paid in crypto, no ID.”
“Two weeks between Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmo. Fast everywhere, and I loved that the whole country is cashless but I could still pay for my data privately. Kept my US number for codes.”
“Great in the cities and the south. Took the train up toward Kiruna and it got patchy in the far north, as I expected. Downloaded offline maps beforehand and had no trouble.”

eSIM in Sweden: FAQ
Does my phone support eSIM?+
Most phones from the last few years do, including recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel models.
How do I pay?+
In crypto only: Bitcoin, Monero, USDT, USDC, Solana, and more.
When does my plan start?+
Your plan validity begins when you install and activate the eSIM, not when you buy it.
Will an eSIM work in Sweden?+
Yes, as long as your phone supports eSIM and is carrier unlocked. The eSIM connects to a local network in Sweden and gives you data the moment you arrive.
How much data do I need in Sweden?+
It depends on what you do. Maps and messaging use very little, while video and hotspotting use much more. For a typical one to two week trip, 3 to 5 GB suits most travelers, and you can top up any time.
Can I keep my phone number in Sweden?+
Yes. Your home number stays on your physical SIM for calls and codes, while the eSIM carries local data. Both work at once on a dual-SIM phone.
Can I buy my eSIM before I travel?+
Yes, and you should. Buy and install it before you fly, then switch the line on when you land in Sweden. Your plan's days only start counting when you activate it, not when you buy.
Does the plan expire?+
Each plan runs for a set number of days once you activate it, shown on the plan. Any balance you have not spent stays on your account for your next trip, so nothing is wasted.
Can I use my eSIM as a personal hotspot?+
On most plans, yes, so you can share your connection with a laptop or a friend. Tethering uses more data, so pick a larger plan if you rely on it.
Do EU visitors even need a Sweden eSIM?+
If you have an EU or EEA plan, you already roam free in Sweden, so you may not need one. This eSIM is aimed at visitors from outside the EU, such as the UK, the US, and further afield, and at anyone who would rather buy data privately in crypto with no ID.
Is coverage good in the Stockholm archipelago?+
Yes. Across the inner and main islands it is reliable, so ferry apps, maps, and messaging all work well. It can thin out on the far outer skerries and long crossings, which is geography, not a provider difference.
Does one plan cover the far north and Lapland?+
A Sweden plan covers the whole country on one profile. Coverage is fast in the cities and the south, but it thins in the northern mountains and remote Lapland wilderness on any network, so download offline maps for those stretches.
Is there an unlimited data plan for Sweden?+
Yes. Unlimited plans run from 3 to 30 days, handy for a longer trip or heavy use like hotspotting. Sized plans are the cheaper pick if you use less, and you can top up any time.
