Perched between Norway, Iceland and Scotland, the Faroe Islands are one of the most spectacular and most isolated destinations in Europe. Dizzying cliffs, turf-roofed villages, sheep that outnumber the inhabitants... this unfamiliar archipelago draws travellers in search of authenticity. But geographic isolation should not mean going digitally offline. Whether you are driving through the undersea tunnels or hiking to Sørvágsvatn, the lake hanging above the ocean, an eSIM guarantees constant access to maps, weather forecasts and photo sharing, with no nasty surprise on your bill.

Why is an eSIM essential in the Faroe Islands?
The Faroe Islands are not part of the European Union, which means free European roaming does not apply here. Using your French plan in the Faroes can lead to high and completely unexpected roaming charges. A dedicated eSIM, activated before you even board the plane in Paris, spares you this trap. The archipelago enjoys solid 4G coverage of about 90%, provided by the local operators Føroya Tele and Hey. In practice, this covers the main roads, the inhabited villages and even some fjords. Be aware, though, that the most remote mountain areas are sometimes off the network, and that is exactly when your pre-downloaded maps will be your best allies. With Simpartout, set up your connection in a few minutes and explore the archipelago with a free mind.
