The Faroe Islands have two mobile operators: Føroya Tele (known internationally as Faroese Telecom) and Nema. Our travel eSIM runs on the Faroese Telecom network, the islands' incumbent operator, with 4G and 5G where available. The archipelago has 18 islands, linked by bridges, subsea tunnels and ferries. Coverage is generally good in Tórshavn, Klaksvík and the villages along the main roads, so you can rely on navigation on your way to places such as Gásadalur, Saksun or Tjørnuvík. On remote hiking trails, in deep valleys and at sea between the islands the signal can be weaker or drop out for a while. Networks: Faroese Telecom.
For a week with a rental car, navigation and plenty of photos of cliffs and waterfalls, 3 to 5 GB is usually enough. For a short stay of a few days, or if you mostly use wifi, 1 GB will do.
The Faroe Islands are part of the Kingdom of Denmark but not of the EU or the EEA. EU roaming rules therefore do not apply, so check your home plan before you go or choose an eSIM with a fixed bundle.

Whether your home plan still includes the islands in its European allowance differs from provider to provider. With an eSIM you know in advance how much data you have and what it costs.
In the towns, the villages and along the main roads, signal is generally good. On hiking trails in remote valleys, below steep cliffs or on the ferry between two islands, the signal can be weaker or drop out for a while. Download an offline map of the islands before you set out.
