Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Faroe Islands travel data guide
A Faroe Islands eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Faroe Islands that you install before you fly. Plans in Faroe Islands run on Faroese Telecom, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 18 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $2.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Faroe Islands, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Faroe Islands from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Faroe Islands FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Faroe Islands?
It connects wherever Faroese Telecom has signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Faroe Islands, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 1 day from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Faroe Islands?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Will a Europe eSIM work in the Faroe Islands?
Not ours. None of our regional plans includes the Faroe Islands, so a regional eSIM bought from us will not connect there. Buy the Faroe Islands plan separately and keep both eSIMs on the phone if you are visiting other countries too.
Is 5 GB enough for a week in the Faroe Islands?
Yes, 5 GB is enough for a week in the Faroe Islands for most travellers, including daily maps, photo uploads and browsing. The 5 GB plan runs for 30 days, so you will not run out of days. Heavy video users should look at unlimited.
Which network does the Faroe Islands eSIM use?
Every Faroe Islands plan we sell uses Faroese Telecom, which is listed as a 5G network. It is the only operator on these plans, so the phone will not switch to another network.
Can I have two eSIMs on my phone at once?
Most eSIM phones can store several eSIMs and let you choose which one is active. That lets you keep a plan for another country and the Faroe Islands plan together, and switch between them in settings when you cross over.
Do the days start when I buy the plan?
No, the days start when the eSIM first connects to a network in the Faroe Islands. You can buy and install it well ahead of the trip without losing any time.
I have landed and there is no signal. What should I do?
First check that the eSIM line is switched on and that data roaming is enabled for that line. Then toggle flight mode on and off. If the Faroe Islands eSIM still does not connect, email support with your order number.
Is hotspot allowed on unlimited plans?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Faroe Islands plans, including unlimited ones. Shared data counts toward the daily full speed amount, which is 1 GB or 3 GB depending on the plan, before the speed drops to up to 1 Mbps.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
