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

Sweden – known for having the ICEHOTEL, IKEA & Abba.

The country is also known for its Swedish design, Spotify & PewDiePie.

But what can you do in Sweden? If you are into ABBA, make sure to visit the ABB museum.

Natural parks, like Abisko National Park, are stunning too.

And the old-school architecture throughout the country cannot and will not be missed when strolling around the country.

What also will not be missed is the expensive roaming bill you will see on your phone bill when you are back home.

International roaming can be expensive. Local SIM cards, like a Swedish one, are much cheaper than roaming.

Fortunately, SIM cards are not too expensive in Sweden.

You can get a Swedish SIM card for 45 SEK (4.35 USD) from Comviq (by Tele2), 49 SEK (4.75 USD) from Telenor & 59 SEK (5.60 USD) from Telia in their stores (except for Comviq) or resellers, like 7-Eleven (especially for Comviq). SIM cards are also sold at Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) and Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT).

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! 🇺🇦

While the Nordics and Scandinavia are not known for their low cost of living (I can tell you – I lived in Denmark for 3.5 years), mobile data costs are not too bad in Sweden.

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

Can You Buy a SIM Card in Sweden?

Anyone living in or visiting Sweden can buy a Swedish SIM card from Telia, Comviq by Tele2, Telenor & many MVNO with no restrictions.

Your phone has to support the frequencies used in Sweden.

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

Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Sweden?

You can get a Swedish SIM card in Telia and Telenor stores. Resellers, like convenience stores and grocery stores, also sell SIM cards (especially for Comviq by Tele2 and the MVNOs). They are also sold at Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) and Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT).

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

• Telia Sweden: 59 SEK
• Comviq by Tele2 Sweden: 45 SEK
• Telenor Sweden: 49 SEK
• MVNOs (like Lycamobile Sweden): being added later

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

Can You Use Your Phone in Sweden?

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

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

Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Sweden

Sweden has three mobile operators and various Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs – being added later) offering prepaid services easily accessible to travelers:

• Telia Sweden
• Tele2 Sweden (with Comviq)
• Telenor Sweden

The following frequencies are used in Sweden:

• 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
• 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz – slowly shutting down for 4G/LTE & 5G NR refarming
• 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 900 MHz (band 8), 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
• 5G NR: 700 MHz (n28) & 3500 MHz (n78) – not for prepaid customers (yet)

You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.

To check whether your phone will work in Sweden, 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 Sweden

Both VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G) – also known as HD Voice) and VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi – also known as WiFi calling) are available in Sweden. All Swedish mobile operators offer VoLTE, but not VoWiFi.

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

The following mobile operators offer VoLTE and VoWiFi in Sweden:

• Telia Sweden
• Tele2 Sweden (also for Comviq)

The following mobile operators offer VoLTE only in Sweden:

• Telenor Sweden (but not for prepaid customers)

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

5G NR in Sweden

Commercial 5G NR has been available in Sweden since May 2021. It is available on the Telia, Tele2 (also for Comviq) & Telenor networks. However, none of the mobile operators offer 5G NR to prepaid customers (yet). The MVNOs do not have 5G NR access either.

Best SIM Card in Sweden

Best eSIM in Sweden

Comviq by Tele2 Sweden offers eSIMs to prepaid customers.

While Telia Sweden and Telenor Sweden also have eSIMs, they are (currently) not offered to prepaid customers .

However, you can get travel eSIMs from Airalo, Holafly & Nomad.

Airalo has the Vän eSIMs:

You have these four options:

1. Sweden/Vän 1 GB eSIM for 7 days
2. Sweden/Vän 3 GB eSIM for 30 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
3. Sweden/Vän 5 GB eSIM for 30 days
4. Sweden/Vän 10 GB eSIM for 30 days – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers

The Airalo links above will automatically get you the available Phone Travel Wiz exclusive offers – a code is unnecessary.

For an in-depth analysis of the Airalo Vän eSIMs (covering pros and cons as well), check out my Sweden eSIMs Compared guide.

Or you can get Sweden eSIMs from Nomad.

Use code ADU123 for the best deals available when getting Nomad eSIMs (on the site or their apps) and get 3 USD/2.85 EUR/2.45 GBP/4.10 CAD off (even on top of current promotions)!

For an in-depth analysis of the Nomad Sweden eSIMs (covering pros and cons as well), check out my Sweden eSIMs Compared guide.

• Check out my Nomad reviews

Finally, you can get Sweden eSIMs from Holafly if you prefer unlimited data plans and do not mind paying a bit more for this advantage:

• Sweden unlimited data eSIM for 5 days
• Sweden unlimited data eSIM for 10 days
• Sweden unlimited data eSIM for 15 days
• Sweden unlimited data eSIM for 20 days
• Sweden unlimited data eSIM for 30 days
• Sweden unlimited data eSIM for 60 days
• Sweden unlimited data eSIM for 90 days

Use code PHONETRAVELWIZ for exclusive deals when getting Holafly eSIMs, AND get an additional 5% off!

For an in-depth analysis of the Holafly Sweden eSIMs (covering pros and cons as well), check out my Sweden eSIMs Compared guide.

With these eSIMs, you can skip Sweden's SIM card registration scheme entirely and use it immediately upon arriving in Sweden!

TIP: check out my Best Sweden eSIMs Compared guide for an in-depth comparison of several eSIMs for Sweden, including ones not mentioned above.

If you plan on visiting other neighboring European nations, consider the Eurolink eSIM (six variants: 1 GB/7 days, 3 GB/30 days – very popular with PTW readers, 5 GB/30 days – most popular with PTW readers, 10 GB/30 days – very popular with PTW readers, 50 GB/90 days & 100 GB/180 days) in Sweden and these other countries:

• Check out my Airalo Eurolink eSIM review (tested in Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Hungary, Greece, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia & Spain)

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).

TIP: Check out my eSIM lookup tool for an overview of local mobile operators offering eSIMs to prepaid customers and travel eSIMs I use and love (for eSIMs in Sweden and eSIMs worldwide) and my Best Sweden eSIMs Compared guide for an in-depth comparison of several eSIMs for Sweden.

Best International/Travel SIM Card for Sweden

If you want to buy the best international/travel SIM card for Sweden, I recommend going with Simify‘s Europe SIM cards that covers Europe (mainly the European Union) and parts Asia, Central America, Oceania & South America – all in one SIM card.

You have these five options:

1. Europe & UK Prepaid Travel SIM Card with 12 GB for 30 days (includes calls and SMS within the country you are in)
2. Explorer Prepaid Travel SIM Card with 12 GB for 365 days
3. Europe & UK Prepaid Travel SIM Card with 40 GB for 28 days (includes calls within the country you are in)
4. Europe & UK Prepaid Travel SIM Card with 80 GB for 28 days (includes calls within the country you are in)
5. Europe & UK Prepaid Travel SIM Card with 140 GB for 28 days (includes calls within the country you are in)

The Simify Europe SIM cards can be used in Sweden and the following other countries:

SIM Card Registration in Sweden

SIM card registration, with the use of your personal information (such as your passport), is not required when buying a SIM card in Sweden.

EU Roaming in Sweden

Sweden 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 Sweden.

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

Roaming in the EU with Swedish SIM Cards

Sweden and the Swedish 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 Telia Sweden requires you to register your SIM card with a Swedish permanent address and a Swedish Personnummer.

You can roam for free with Comviq by Tele2 Sweden and Telenor without having to provide any sort of proof/stable links to Sweden.

Sweden Mobile Speeds, Mobile Internet Prices & Insights

Mobile data rates are low throughout Europe.

Currency in Sweden

Sweden uses the Swedish Krona with the symbol SEK (which will be used throughout this guide).

However, prices are often listed as kr. For example, 25 SEK = 25 kr.

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

• 1 SEK = 0.10 USD
• 10 SEK = 0.95 USD
• 100 SEK = 9.65 USD
• 1000 SEK = 96.40 USD

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

Swedish Prepaid SIM Cards

Below, I will guide you through Telia Sweden, Comviq by Tele2 Sweden, Telenor Sweden & many MVNOs that will be added later, and go through:

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

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

Telia Sweden (Sverige)

Telia Sweden (Sverige), just Telia, is the largest mobile operator in Sweden.

Its three competitors would have to merge into one company to kick Telia off its #1 spot.

They would then have 7.8 million customers (2.9 million from Tele2 Sweden, 2.7 million from Telenor Sweden & 2.2 million from Tre (3) Sweden) compared to Telia's 6.7 million.

Telia, from Sweden, is also active in the Baltics (Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania) and the Nordics (Denmark, Finland & Norway).
