Whether you are travelling for work or vacation, our eSIM Faroe Islands plans deliver local 5G/4G speeds with no roaming fees.
Does the eSIM Faroe Islands work in the sub-sea tunnels?
Yes, the Faroese Telecom carrier provides excellent coverage throughout the major sub-sea tunnels like the Eysturoyartunnilin. Your eSIM Faroe Islands will maintain a stable connection as you travel between islands, ensuring your GPS and music streaming remain uninterrupted even while driving deep beneath the North Atlantic seabed.
What should I do if I run out of data while in the Faroe Islands?
If you reach your fixed data limit while exploring, staying connected is simple. You can top up directly through the SimCorner app to instantly restore your high-speed service. This adds data to your current eSIM with no need to scan a new QR code or install another profile, allowing you to continue sharing your journey across the islands without interruption.
Will the eSIM help me avoid international roaming charges completely?
Yes, using an eSIM replaces the need for traditional roaming services from your home carrier. Since it operates on a prepaid data model, you avoid unexpected charges or post-trip billing surprises. This gives you full control over your travel connectivity expenses.
Is there coverage at Vágar Airport upon arrival?
Yes, you will have immediate 5G connectivity at Vágar Airport the moment you land. By installing your eSIM Faroe Islands before you leave home, you can skip the search for local SIM cards or unreliable airport Wi-Fi. This allows you to arrange your car rental or contact your accommodation as soon as you touch down.
Will my eSIM Faroe Islands work in the northern islands?
Yes, our eSIM Faroe Islands utilises Faroese Telecom, which offers comprehensive coverage across Klaksvík and the rugged northern isles. Whether you are hiking to the Kallur Lighthouse on Kalsoy or visiting the remote villages of Vidareidi, you can expect a reliable data connection for all your travel needs.
How do I use the eSIM Faroe Islands for the local ferry system?
Connectivity is essential for using the SSL (Strandfaraskip Landsins) website to check ferry times and book tickets between islands. With your eSIM Faroe Islands, you can access real-time schedule updates and digital tickets directly on your smartphone, making island hopping across the archipelago much more efficient and stress-free.
Can I share my data with my travel partner while hiking?
Yes, all SimCorner eSIM Faroe Islands plans support personal hotspots. This means you can share your high-speed data connection with other devices, such as your partner's phone or a tablet. It is a perfect solution for group hikes where only one person needs an active plan to provide navigation for the whole team.
Do I need to provide a passport to buy a eSIM Faroe Islands?
Unlike some local physical SIM cards that require identity verification, SimCorner eSIM can be purchased without any passport scans. This saves you time and protects your privacy. You can complete the entire transaction online from home and be ready to connect as soon as you arrive in the islands.
Is the connection fast enough for video calling from the islands?
The 5G speeds provided by the eSIM Faroe Islands are more than sufficient for high-quality video calls. Whether you are in a cafe in Tórshavn or at a scenic lookout in Gjógv, you can use apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp to share your travel experiences with friends and family back home in Japan.
Does the eSIM Faroe Islands come with a local phone number?
This is a data-only travel eSIM and does not include a local Faroe Islands (+298) phone number for traditional voice calls or SMS. However, you can maintain full voice and text connectivity by using data-based apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Viber, and Messenger. This allows you to stay connected with high-speed data without the privacy risks, mandatory passport uploads, or long retail queues associated with local SIM registrations.
When is the best time to install my eSIM Faroe Islands data plan?
We recommend installing your eSIM Faroe Islands before departure or at the airport before boarding. The installation requires a stable internet connection. Completing this step ahead of time ensures that your eSIM is ready to connect instantly upon arrival.
Note: Some eSIMs activate directly upon scanning the QR code. Check ‘Things to Know’ on the product page, or refer to your post-purchase email for your custom setup guide.How do I install and activate my eSIM Faroe Islands?
- iPhone: Go to Settings > Mobile > Add eSIM.
- Android: Go to Settings > Connections > SIM manager > Add eSIM.
Do I need an active internet connection to install my Faroe Islands eSIM?
Yes, a stable Wi-Fi or cellular data connection is mandatory during the initial installation phase. Your device must communicate directly with the network servers to download the digital eSIM profile. Attempting to install the eSIM Faroe Islands without an internet connection will result in a setup failure.
Note: Most SimCorner eSIMs do not need internet for activation. Enabling data roaming triggers the activation.Can I install the Faroe Islands eSIM using a screenshot or image from my gallery?
Yes, with most modern iOS and Android devices, you can upload a screenshot or image directly through the Add eSIM menu. If your specific device does not support gallery uploads, you can display the Faroe Islands eSIM QR code on a laptop, tablet, printout, or secondary screen and scan it using your phone's camera.
When does the validity countdown start, and how are days calculated?
The validity period does not begin upon purchase or installation. The countdown starts only when your eSIM Faroe Islands gets activated by connecting to a supported local network. From the activation time, your plan days are calculated based on continuous 24-hour cycles.
Does the Faroe Islands eSIM expire if left unactivated?
No, our Faroe Islands eSIM does not expire or get auto-activated, unlike many other eSIM providers who enforce 15–30-day activation periods. You can safely purchase your eSIM data plan months in advance during a sale or while planning your itinerary. Your eSIM Faroe Islands remains dormant and ready for use whenever your trip begins.
Can I transfer my active eSIM Faroe Islands profile to another phone?
No, travel eSIMs are single-use digital profiles that lock to the physical hardware of the initial device. Once a QR code has been scanned, it cannot be transferred to a different handset. Additionally, if you delete the profile from your settings, it cannot be re-scanned or reused.
How do I track my data balance and purchase top-ups?
You can use the SimCorner App for live data tracking and instant on-the-go recharges.
If you prefer not to use the app, you can also monitor your usage directly through your device's native cellular settings. Please note that top-up availability varies by product, so be sure to check your specific product details before purchasing to confirm if your chosen plan is eligible for recharges.How do I check if my device is eSIM compatible?
iOS:
Go to Settings > General > About
Scroll down to Available SIM (or Digital SIM).
If an IMEI or EID number is listed, your iPhone supports eSIM.
Android:
Dial *#06#on your keypad.
If an EID (Embedded Identity Document) number appears on your screen, your device supports eSIM.
How do I check if my device is carrier-unlocked?
iOS: Navigate to Settings > General > About and find Network Provider Lock. If it says No SIM restrictions, your device is unlocked.
Android: The most accurate test is to temporarily insert a physical SIM card or install an eSIM from a different mobile network. If your phone connects to the network and you can make a call or use data, your device is unlocked.Can I use Faroe Islands eSIM if my phone is currently locked to a network carrier?
No, you cannot use an eSIM Faroe Islands if your phone is locked to your home provider. Carrier-locked phones automatically reject any third-party travel eSIM profiles. You must contact your current carrier to fully unlock your device before attempting to install or activate our Faroe Islands travel eSIM.
Why are iPhones from Mainland China, Hong Kong, or Macau incompatible?
Apple manufactures iPhones for the Chinese, Hong Kong, and Macau markets without an internal eSIM chip. To comply with local regulatory demands and consumer preferences, Apple replaced the eSIM hardware entirely with a dual-sided physical tray for nano-SIMs.
Got an iPhone from one of these regions? Explore our physical Faroe Islands SIM card options.
How many eSIM profiles can I store and run on my phone at the same time?
Storage: Most modern smartphones allow you to download and store between 5 and 10 distinct eSIM profiles directly on their internal chip.
Usage: While you can store many, you can generally only run one or two profiles actively alongside your primary home SIM card at any given time, depending on your device generation.
Will this eSIM work on a jailbroken (iOS) or rooted (Android) device?
Yes, but we cannot guarantee optimal network performance because jailbreaking or rooting modifies core security protocols. Security flags within cellular operating systems can occasionally interfere with the profile registration process or prevent automatic network connections.
Can I keep my home SIM in my phone alongside the eSIM Faroe Islands?
Yes, modern smartphones feature Dual SIM technology, allowing your physical home SIM and your digital eSIM Faroe Islands to run simultaneously. You simply assign data usage to your SimCorner profile while keeping your home line active for incoming OTPs.
Note: Receiving incoming calls will trigger roaming charges from your home provider.Can I keep my original WhatsApp and iMessage accounts?
Yes, these services are linked to your home phone number or account rather than the SIM card. When you insert your eSIM Faroe Islands, your apps may prompt you to update your number—always select Keep Existing Number. This ensures your account, chat history, and contacts remain tied to your home number, allowing you to message and call as usual throughout your trip.
Does my Faroe Islands unlimited data eSIM have a hidden Fair Usage Policy (FUP) throttle?
No, we believe in complete transparency. Unlike other providers who hide their speed drops in fine print, our limits are fully disclosed up front. Your eSIM Faroe Islands unlimited plan includes:
- High-Speed Data: 3GB of 4G/5G data per day.
- Speed After 3GB: If you exceed 3GB in a day, your speed drops to 128kbps.
- Reset Time: Every 24 hours from the exact time of your initial activation.
Can I still receive bank SMS codes (2FA) while using eSIM Faroe Islands?
To receive bank verification SMS codes (2FA) using our eSIM for Faroe Islands, your device must support Dual SIM functionality so your home SIM remains active alongside your travel plan.
Pro-Tip: If your phone only runs one active SIM at a time, your home line will become temporarily inactive. To prevent losing account access, we highly recommend setting up email-based 2FA or an authenticator app before you depart.My trip was canceled; can I get a refund if I haven't used the eSIM?
Yes, you can get a refund. Please reach out to our 24/7 customer support as soon as possible.
If your travel plans change or your trip is canceled, SimCorner offers a flexible refund policy for unused profiles. As long as your eSIM Faroe Islands has not been installed or activated on a device, you are eligible for a return and refund.What are the SimCorner 5% price beat and 30-day price lock guarantees?
