eSIM Travel Tips for Faroe Islands
Get your eSIM set up before you leave home
Purchase your plan, scan the QR code on your home Wi-Fi, and install it before your flight. When you touch down in the Faroe Islands, your phone picks up Faroese Telecom (Føroya Tele) straight away. No airport kiosk, no registration queue.
Cache your maps before you head off
Download the Faroe Islands in Google Maps before you leave so your GPS keeps working when you are off the beaten track. Coverage is surprisingly good for such a remote location. Tórshavn and main villages have solid 4G. Mountain hiking routes can drop signal. Your location loads from GPS hardware even without data. Maps.me is a good backup option for remote areas.
Hit the ground running at the airport
Vágar Airport (FAE) is where you land. With your HelloRoam eSIM active before you board, your phone picks up Faroese Telecom (Føroya Tele) in the Faroe Islands as soon as you exit the aircraft. Book your transfer, check your accommodation address, and stay in touch with family back home without airport Wi-Fi hassles.
Check signal before heading to remote beaches
Coverage is surprisingly good for such a remote location. Tórshavn and main villages have solid 4G. Mountain hiking routes can drop signal. Download offline maps for any remote beach destinations or island transfers. Your GPS still works from the phone's hardware without data.
Keep your Aussie number active while using local data
Most modern phones support dual SIM. Keep your Australian SIM active for calls and texts from home. Set the HelloRoam eSIM as your data line. You receive calls on your Aussie number without paying international rates while your eSIM handles data in the Faroe Islands.
Get connected in the Faroe Islands from A$2.50
HelloRoam plans for the Faroe Islands start at A$2.50. Purchase online before your trip, scan the QR code at home, and you touch down already connected. No airport SIM hunt, no registration queue. Just local partner network data working from the moment you arrive.
Faroe Islands Mobile Network Coverage
The Faroe Islands are an autonomous territory of Denmark located in the North Atlantic Ocean between Norway and Iceland. Despite their remote location and dramatic terrain, the islands have surprisingly good mobile network coverage.
Two operators serve the islands: Faroese Telecom (Føroya Tele) and Vodafone Faroe Islands. Both provide 4G LTE coverage across the populated parts of all 18 inhabited islands. HelloRoam travellers connect through these networks.
Tórshavn, the capital and largest town, has the best coverage with strong 4G throughout. Klaksvík, the second-largest town on Borðoy island, also has solid 4G. Main roads, coastal viewpoints, and village centers across the islands are generally covered.
Highland plateaus, the tops of steep sea cliffs, and mountain ridge walks may have weak or no signal. Famous hiking spots like the Sørvágsvatn lake-above-the-ocean viewpoint on Vágar island, the Trælanípa cliff, and the Kallur lighthouse on Kalsoy have limited signal at the viewpoint itself. The underwater tunnel connections between some islands maintain coverage in the tunnels. The Vágar Airport on Vágar island has 4G coverage. Australian travellers should confirm their handset is unlocked and supports the local network bands.

Faroe Islands eSIM vs Local SIM vs Carrier Billing
For Aussie travellers, a HelloRoam eSIM is generally the most cost-effective way to get data abroad compared to local SIM cards or Australian carrier roaming add-ons.
| Category | HelloRoam eSIM from A$2.50 Recommended | Faroe Islands local SIM: DKK 80 to DKK 200 ($11 to $28 AUD) | Telco roaming |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | From A$2.50 total | A$14.20–A$35.49 total | — |
| Details | Activate before departure. No store visit needed on the islands. Flat rate across all 18 islands. Plans from A$2.50 with no daily charges. | Faroese Telecom SIM cards are available at the Vágar Airport and in Tórshavn. The selection is limited and purchase options are fewer than mainland Europe. A HelloRoam eSIM skips this entirely. | The Faroe Islands are not part of the EU, so EU roaming rules do not apply even for EU SIM holders. Daily fees are high for remote Atlantic travel. A prepaid eSIM is far better value. |
Prices approximate as of . Actual savings vary.
Best Time to Visit the Faroe Islands
May to August is the main tourist season. Weather is unpredictable year-round. Bring waterproofs regardless of season.
Network demand is higher in peak tourist periods. A HelloRoam eSIM means you are not competing for crowded public Wi-Fi at popular spots.

On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
