Traveling to Iceland? Here’s How to Skip Roaming Fees and Stay Connected
It all begins with an idea
Maybe you’ve been dreaming of standing under the northern lights. Maybe you want to drive the Ring Road and stop wherever the landscape takes your breath away. Or maybe you just want a cozy getaway in Reykjavík, exploring coffee shops and hot springs.
Whatever your reason, Iceland is calling. And if you’re traveling here from outside the EU, there’s one thing that can sneak up on you fast: roaming fees.
Roaming fees: the unwelcome travel buddy
We’ve all been there. You land in a new country, switch off airplane mode, and suddenly your phone buzzes with a text from your carrier: “Welcome to Iceland! Calls: $2/min, Data: $10/MB…”
Ouch. A few Instagram uploads and Google Maps directions later, you’ve racked up a bill big enough to buy a round-trip flight. Roaming fees are one of the easiest ways to overspend on any trip — and they can take the joy out of travel.

That’s exactly why I started HelloIceland. I wanted travelers to enjoy this incredible country without the shock of a phone bill waiting at home.
