Yesim eSIM Plans for Iceland
What you get with Yesim in Iceland
Which Yesim plan should you pick?
For a short city break of 3–5 days, the cheapest plan at £0.32 will cover Maps, WhatsApp, and casual browsing. If you're spending one to two weeks travelling around Iceland, step up to a mid-tier plan — usually the strongest value option on a per-GB basis in Yesim's Iceland lineup.
If you plan to work remotely, stream video daily, or use your phone as a hotspot for a laptop, lean towards a larger bundle — the 30 GB option is the safer choice. The unlimited plans are priced at a premium but make sense for heavy users who don't want to track usage.
One thing to note: Yesim Iceland plans are data-only. You won't get a local number, but your existing SIM handles calls and texts as normal. iMessage, WhatsApp, and FaceTime all work over data.

Yesim eSIM for Iceland 2026 — what you need to know
Yesim is a well-regarded eSIM provider with solid Iceland coverage. Plans range from short-break options to longer-stay packages, making Yesim a flexible choice whether you're spending a long weekend or travelling for a month.
Iceland has three networks: Síminn (the incumbent, biggest coverage), Vodafone Iceland (Sýn) and Nova. Síminn has the broadest rural footprint, which matters here because most of the country is rural. The Ring Road (Route 1) is well covered along its full length, including the south coast tourist stretch and the north around Akureyri. 5G is solid in Reykjavík, Keflavík, Akureyri and Selfoss. The big gap is the highlands, F-roads heading into Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk and the interior have no signal at all, and the Westfjords thin out fast off the main road. If you're driving an off-route loop, download offline maps.
Is Yesim good in Iceland?
In our testing, Yesim connected reliably across major cities and travel routes in Iceland. Plug is type C/F (230V) and Iceland is not in the EU, so EU roaming bundles don't apply. The currency is the króna and cards are accepted absolutely everywhere, including at remote petrol pumps and hot pots.
