Finland: 3 Best Prepaid SIM Cards Buying Guide (2023)

Finland – known for (often) being the happiest country in the world, is a country in the Nordics.

Depending on who you ask, it is also part of Scandinavia, but this topic often brings up heated debates.

As a Nordic country, Finland is not known for warm weather, especially up north (but that can change thanks to lovely climate change).

However, some summer days do call for shirts and shorts; although Finns may claim they are literally melting.

While being a large country, it is a sparsely populated nation – mostly due to the climate.

As a result, however, the nature is stunning in Finland.

And of course, it is an excellent destination for winter sports activities.

Before you stream your snowboard experience, do note that international roaming can be expensive.

If you do not watch out, the roaming bill can be more expensive than your whole trip in Finland.

Luckily, there are ways to avoid roaming bills. One of these methods is by using a local SIM card, such as a Finnish one.

That way, you can enjoy local rates.

And the best part, the costs of SIM cards and mobile data are low.

You can get a Finnish SIM card for 4.90 EUR (5.40 USD) from Telia and DNA and 5.90 EUR from Elisa (6.50 USD). Telia also has a data-only SIM card starter pack with unlimited data for 24.90 EUR (27.35 USD). SIM cards are also sold at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport (HEL).

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

Can You Buy a SIM Card in Finland?

Anyone living in or visiting Finland can buy a Finnish prepaid SIM card from Elisa, Telia & DNA without restrictions.

Your phone has to support the frequencies used in Iceland.

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

Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Finland?

You can get a Finnish SIM card in Elisa, Telia & DNA stores. Resellers, like grocery stores and convenience stores, also sell SIM cards. They are also sold at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport (HEL).

You may be directed to an R-Kioski when asking for a prepaid SIM cards due to most mobile operators (prefer to) deal with postpaid customers only.

However, you will not pay a premium when buying a SIM card from a reseller, like an R-Kioski.

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

• Elisa Finland: 5.90 EUR
• Telia Finland: 4.90 EUR (regular) & 24.90 EUR (data-only)
• DNA Finland: 4.90 EUR

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

Can You Use Your Phone in Finland?

Finland uses GSM technology for mobile communications. CDMA phones will not work in Finland. 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 Iceland, 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.

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 Finland.

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 Finland 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 Finland (to some extent) – also on 4G/LTE and 5G NR.

Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Finland

Finland has three mobile operators offering prepaid services easily accessible to travelers:

• Elisa Finland
• Telia Finland
• DNA Finland

The following frequencies are used in Finland:

• 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
• 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
• 4G/LTE: 700 MHz (Band 28), 800 MHz (Band 20), 900 MHz (Band 8), 1800 MHz (Band 3), 2100 MHz (Band 1) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
• 5G NR: 3500 MHz (n78) & 26 GHz (n258 – not in commercial use yet)

You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.

To check whether your phone will work in Finland, check out this page by Will My Phone Work (may be outdated or inaccurate at times).

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.

5G NR in Finland

Commercial 5G NR has been available in Finland since October 2019. It is available on the Elisa, Telia & DNA networks. All mobile operators offer 5G NR to prepaid customers (for select plans).

Best eSIM in Finland

Unfortunately, none of the mobile operators offer eSIM to prepaid customers in Finland (yet).

However, you can also get a travel eSIM from various eSIM providers.

The list below is not exhaustive – many more providers have eSIMs for Finland.

But these are the ones I have tried and had pleasant experiences with.

Moreover, they are reasonably priced, which I find very important (you will not see me recommending an eSIM I would not buy myself).

So here are the six best eSIMs for Finland:

• Airalo's Finn Communications Finland eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (best value for money)
• Airalo's Eurolink Europe eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 100 GB (best value for money when also visiting other European countries) – read my ongoing Airalo Eurolink eSIM review too!
• Holafly Finland eSIM with unlimited data for 5 to 90 days (truly unlimited data plans at premium prices)
• Nomad Finland eSIM with 14 choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (switches to the best network, allowing for excellent reception at all times)
• Holafly Finland eSIM with unlimited data for 5 to 60 days (truly unlimited data plans when also visiting other European countries at premium prices)
• Nomad Europe eSIM with 13 choices between 1 GB and 40 GB (the best of both worlds in terms of pricing and performance)

Because this is the SIM card buying guide for Finland, I will not spend too much time about travel eSIMs here and throughout this guide (but I will still do here and there).

If you want to learn more about the best eSIMs for Finland, you better check out my Finland eSIM buying guide.

It is as helpful and comprehensive as this guide but about eSIMs instead 😜.

SIM Card Registration in Finland

SIM card registration using your passport information is not needed when buying a SIM card in Finland.

EU Roaming in Finland

Finland 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 Finland.

This means that, in the majority of cases, you do not need to purchase a Finnish 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 Finland or if restrictions apply.

—

Do note that although the Åland Islands are part of Finland, they are an autonomous region of Finland. They also have their own operator – Ålcom. None of the Finnish operators operate in the Åland Islands.

It is reported that those with an Elisa Finland SIM card can roam for free the Åland Islands. DNA does the same. Telia Finland does not clearly mention whether its free Nordics/EU/EEA roaming applies to the Åland Islands.

Roaming in the EU with Finnish SIM Cards

Finland and the Finnish mobile operators have fully 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.

Just a note about Telia: you can only roam in the Baltics (Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania), the Nordics (Denmark, Norway & Sweden) & select European Union states (France, Germany, Greece, Italy & Spain).

Finland Mobile Speeds, Mobile Internet Prices & Insights

Being redone.

Currency in Finland

Finland 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 = 1.10 USD
• 10 EUR = 11.10 USD
• 100 EUR = 111.05 USD

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

Finnish Prepaid SIM Cards

Below, I will guide you through Elisa Finland, Telia Finland & DNA Finland, and go through:

• Background information
• Mobile coverage
• SIM card types, prices, and availability
• Recharge/top-up information
• Combo plans, data plans, and special packs (such as social media packs) 

With that being said, let’s see what Finland has to offer to us.

You can get an Elisa SIM card, called Saunalahti Prepaid, for 5.90 EUR with 6 EUR in credit in Elisa stores, R-Kioski, and grocery stores – there is also an R-Kioski at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.

Most Elisa stores will turn you away and recommend you get a prepaid SIM card at an R-Kioski because they usually deal with postpaid customers/subscribers.

Luckily, there are around 500 R-Kioski throughout Finland, so it will be easy to find one.

Text ENGLISH to 18258 to change the Elisa menu to English.
