Checklist step 7 of 13

Mobile phone plan

Back to checklistLast updated

  • Start prepaid: no credit check, no lock-in – often easiest right after arrival.
  • Subscription later: usually needs ID (or BankID) and a credit check; a D number is in most cases enough.
  • Three companies own networks: Telenor, Telia, Ice. Others (Talkmore, Chilimobil, MyCall, OneCall, PlussMobil) rent capacity.
  • Lock-in up to 12 months is common with a subsidised phone. EU/EEA roaming is generally "roam like at home".
