Estonia: 7 Best Prepaid SIM Cards Buying Guide (2023)

Estonia – known for being a digital nation, its forests & folklore.

It is also home to around 2300 islands, which is a surprise for many (and it was one to me too).

While Estonia, and the other Baltics states, may not be the most popular travel destination in Europe, it does have quite a lot of things to offer.

There are many churches and cathedrals to see, like the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.

Which is interesting, as Estonia is apparently the least religious nation.

The Lahemaa National Park is straight-up stunning.

And if you love heights, you better visit the 314 meter Tallinn TV Tower.

If you do not mind cold winters, visiting the Tallinn Christmas Market can be a nice change compared to the ones in Germany.

So many things to see and do in Estonia, which you probably want to share online with your friends and family.

But be aware – international roaming can be expensive.

Which is why I always recommend local SIM cards, like an Estonian one, so that you can enjoy local rates.

So, how much do SIM cards cost in Estonia?

You can get an Estonian SIM card for 0.95 EUR (1 USD) from Smart (Tele2), 1 EUR (1.05 USD) to 5 EUR from Elisa (5.30 USD), 1 EUR from Super (Telia), 2.95 EUR (3.15 USD) from Diil (Telia), Simpel (Telia) & Zen (Elisa), and 3.95 EUR (4.20 USD) or 9.95 EUR (10.60 USD) from Tele2 in their stores and resellers, like convenience stores and grocery stores. SIM cards are also sold at Tallinn Airport (TLL – from R-Kiosk).

Special note for those from Ukraine: be sure to ask about special benefits for Ukrainians. Many mobile operators around Europe have waived fees for you or introduced exclusive plans, including free calls back to Ukraine. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦

Those prices are not too bad!

Especially when you know that mobile data rates are one of the lowest Estonia compared to the rest of Europe.

In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Estonia. Let's get started.

Can You Buy a SIM Card in Estonia?

Anyone living in or visiting Estonia can buy an Estonian SIM card from Telia (Diil, Simpel & Super), Elisa (including Zen) & Tele2 (including Smart) with no restrictions.

Your phone has to support the frequencies used in Estonia.

Furthermore, your phone needs to be unlocked (SIM-lock free) to use an Estonia SIM card.

Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Estonia?

You can get an Estonian SIM card in Telia (for Diil, Simpel & Super), Elisa (also for Zen) & Tele2 (also for Smart) stores. Resellers, like post offices, newsstands & grocery stores, also sell SIM cards. They are also sold at Tallinn Airport (TLL – from R-Kiosk).

Be aware that Telia will charge you a 1 EUR service fee if you try to buy a SIM card in their stores.

An honest salesperson will inform you about this fee and direct you to an R-Kiosk instead (it is not that they do not want to help you, as I initially assumed 💀).

You can expect to pay the following for Estonian SIM cards:

  • Diil by Telia Estonia: 2.95 EUR
  • Simpel by Telia Estonia: 2.95 EUR
  • Super by Telia Estonia: 1 EUR
  • Elisa Estonia: 1 EUR & 5 EUR
  • Zen by Elisa Estonia: 2.95 EUR
  • Tele2 Estonia: 3.95 EUR (regular) & 9.95 EUR (data-only)
  • Smart by Tele2 Estonia: 0.95 EUR

For up-to-date EUR:your currency (let's say GBP) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.

Can You Use Your Phone in Estonia?

Estonia uses GSM technology for mobile communications. CDMA phones will not work in Estonia. If your phone has a SIM card slot, then it supports GSMA (99% of the phones do support GSM nowadays).

Traditional European frequencies are used in Estonia, which are mostly used in ITU Regions 1 and 3 (Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe & Oceania).

The Americas (North-, Central– & South America + the Caribbean – ITU Region 2) use American frequencies, which differ from the European ones.

ITU Regions Map by Phone Travel Wiz

If you bought your phone in Africa, Asia, Europe, or Oceania (ITU Regions 1 and 3), you should not experience any issues with using your phone in Estonia.

If you purchased your phone in the Americas (ITU Region 2) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, then there is a possibility you cannot use your phone when in Estonia or can only use slower networks (3G or 2G).

If you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support, you can use your phone in Estonia (to some extent) – also on 4G/LTE (and soon 5G NR).

Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Estonia

Estonia has three mobile operators with all having dedicated prepaid sub-brands (seven) offering prepaid services easily accessible to travelers:

  • Telia Estonia/Eesti (with Diil, Simpel & Smart)
  • Elisa Estonia/Eesti (with Zen)
  • Tele2 Estonia/Eesti (with Smart)

The following frequencies are used in Estonia:

  • 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
  • 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
  • 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 1800 MHz (Band 3), 2100 MHz (Band 1) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
  • 5G NR: 3500 MHz (n78)

You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.

To check whether your phone will work in Estonia, check out this page by Kimovil or this one by Will My Phone Work (outdated, unfortunately, but extremely user-friendly – useful for phones launched in or before 2019. It does not check for 5G NR compatibility).

Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above).

If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.

VoLTE & VoWiFi in Estonia

Both VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G) – also known as HD Voice) and VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi – also known as WiFi calling) are available in Estonia. Telia and Elisa offer VoLTE. Only Elisa has VoWiFi.

This means that your phone does not have to downgrade to 2G or 3G when making a call in Estonia (unlike mobile operators that do not support VoLTE).

The following mobile operators offer VoLTE and VoWiFi in Estonia:

  • Elisa Estonia
  • Zen by Elisa Estonia

The following mobile operators offer VoLTE only in Estonia:

  • Diil by Telia Estonia
  • Simpel by Telia Estonia
  • Super by Telia Estonia

The following mobile operators do not offer VoLTE nor VoWiFi in Estonia:

  • Tele2 Estonia
  • Smart by Tele2 Estonia

VoWiFi is, as the name implies, calling on a WiFi connection as opposed to on a cellular network.

5G NR in Estonia

Commercial 5G NR has been available in Estonia since November 2022. It is available on the Telia and will be soon on the Elisa and Tele2 networks as well. Telia does not allow prepaid customers (Diil, Simpel & Super) to use its 5G NR network. It is unknown if Elisa (Zen) and Tele2 (Smart) will allow their prepaid customers to use 5G NR upon launch (but probably not).

Best SIM Card in Estonia

If you want to buy the best SIM card in Estonia, I recommend going with Telia (Diil, Simpel & Super). Telia has the best overall network and the fastest speeds. Moreover, the Diil and Simpel Telia sub-brands allow for EU/EEA roaming.

Best eSIM in Estonia

While Telia, Elisa & Tele2 offer eSIMs, they are (currently) not avilable to prepaid customers (Diil, Simpel, Super, Zen & Smart).

Therefore, if you wish to get an eSIM for Estonia without personal detail capturing, you can get the Estonia (Estekom) eSIM from Airalo.

Holafly and Nomad also have eSIMs covering all of the European Union (and more).

But honestly, the Eurolink eSIM is superior (but you can consider the Holafly Europe eSIM if you want unlimited data in 30+ countries – just do not forget about code PHONETRAVELWIZ if you go with Holafly).

EU Roaming in Estonia

European Union (EU) & European Economic Area (EEA)

Estonia is part of the European Union (EU).

Since June 2017, those with EU/EEA (European Economic Area) SIM cards can roam for free in other EU/EEA nations, including Estonia

This means that, in the majority of cases, you do not need to purchase an Estonian SIM card if you already have an EU/EEA SIM card because you can roam without additional costs.

However, conditions do apply. Mobile operators in some countries may impose a roaming Fair Use Policy (FUP).

In countries where local mobile data rates are extremely low (such as in the Baltics and the Nordics), mobile operators may still charge you for roaming in the EU/EEA.

Be sure to head over to the international roaming page to learn whether your mobile operator offers free roaming while in Estonia or if restrictions apply.

Roaming in the EU with Estonian SIM Cards

Estonia and the Estonian mobile operators have largely adopted the roam like at home regulations principles early on.

However, some plans have an EU/EEA roaming cap.

Moreover, the standard Fair Use Policy applies where you should not be roaming over 50% of the time over a four-month period.

If you do so, EU roaming rates will apply. You are then better off buying local prepaid SIM cards in other EU nations.

Note that Super (by Telia), Elisa & Zen do not allow for free EU/EEA roaming (unless you purchase their pricey roaming plans).

Currency in Estonia

Estonia uses the Euro with the symbol EUR (which will be used throughout this guide).

However, prices are often listed as just . For example, 25 EUR = €25.

For reference, below are some exchange rates between EUR and USD (US Dollars):

  • 1 EUR = 1.05 USD
  • 10 EUR = 10.65 USD
  • 100 EUR = 106.30 USD

For up-to-date EUR:your currency (let's say GBP – (British) Pound (Sterling)) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.

If your credit/debit card charges you foreign exchange fees, get yourself a Wise Borderless Account and Debit Card.

Their fees are MUCH lower than banks and credit card companies charge you (and Wise is transparent about their fees, unlike banks).

I have saved literal THOUSANDS of Australian Dollars and Euros, my main currencies, when using Wise abroad when traveling compared to my debit and credit cards.
