eSIM data plans for Sweden

Two plan types are available in Sweden: fixed data plans that run from 1GB to 50GB, and unlimited plans priced by the day. Which suits you depends less on how long you are travelling and more on how you use data while you are there.

Fixed data or unlimited by the day

Fixed data plans suit anyone who knows roughly how much data a trip needs, from checking maps, messaging and ride-hailing apps such as Uber, to a heavier mix of streaming and video calls. A top-up on the same eSIM can extend the plan at any point during the trip, so a smaller size is never a fixed limit for the whole stay.

The unlimited plans are sold by the day rather than by size. Past a daily amount, speed reduces for the rest of that day under a fair use policy. These suit travellers who would rather not track a data balance and prefer to pay for days covered instead of gigabytes used.

Hotspot and tethering

Both plan types allow hotspot and tethering, so a phone plan can share its connection with a laptop or tablet on either the fixed data or unlimited option.

When to install

The eSIM can be installed as soon as it is purchased. Validity only begins at the first connection to a network in Sweden, so installing before departure costs nothing and just means it is ready the moment you land.

Matching a plan to trip length

For a short city visit, a 1GB/7-day or 3GB/15-day plan, or a few days of the unlimited option, covers most needs. Longer stays suit the larger data sizes such as 20GB or 50GB over 30 days, or the longer unlimited terms like 15 or 30 days, particularly for anyone relying on data for work or heavier streaming throughout the trip.
