Why UK Travellers Choose GleeSim for Lapland
Finland is in the UK's Europe roaming zone, so what you pay depends on your network. Recently published UK rates for Finland are about £2.47 a day on EE, £2 a day on Vodafone and £3.50 a day on O2, while Three Advanced plans include Finland at no extra charge. Fair use limits apply, and a family of four phones can pay that daily fee several times over. A Finland eSIM avoids roaming fees for UK travellers at a fixed price per phone. GleeSim gives you local Finnish data, managed in one WhatsApp chat. Check your own network's current price before you fly.
Made for a Santa Trip
From Santa Claus Village to the airport, your eSIM keeps maps, photos and family messages working without hunting for WiFi.

Is there an eSIM for husky safari tours?
Yes. An eSIM for a husky safari works while you are within range of a network. Signal can drop on remote trails, so download offline maps before you go and keep your phone warm in an inside pocket.
Is there an eSIM for glass igloo stay bookings?
Yes. An eSIM for a glass igloo stay gives you your own connection if the resort WiFi is slow or limited to the main building. Coverage varies between resorts, so ask your host about mobile signal before you book.
Is there mobile signal in remote Lapland cabins?
Often, but not always. Finnish networks cover the main towns and roads well, while remote cabins on the fells and in forests can have weak or no signal. Ask your host which network works best, and download offline maps and tickets before you arrive.
Does phone battery drain faster in Arctic cold?
Yes. Cold temperatures reduce lithium battery performance, so a phone can drop from 50% to off quickly outdoors. Keep it in an inside pocket, turn on low power mode and carry a power bank. This is separate from eSIM use.
Which networks cover Lapland: Elisa, Telia or DNA?
Finland's three main networks are Elisa, Telia and DNA. All cover the big Lapland towns such as Rovaniemi, Levi and Saariselkä, and coverage in remote areas can differ. Your eSIM connects to the network available to it, and you can ask us on WhatsApp which one your plan uses.
Will my eSIM work if we cross into Norway?
Not necessarily. Our Finland plans cover Finland. If you plan to drive to Norway, for example to Tromsø, message us on WhatsApp before you buy and we will suggest a plan that covers both countries.
How much data do I need for Northern Lights alert apps?
Northern Lights alert apps use very little data, usually a few MB a day. The Finland 5GB, 30 Days plan covers aurora alerts, weather forecasts, maps and messages for a typical Lapland trip, with room for photos and the odd video call.
Can I use my eSIM for WhatsApp calls home to the UK?
Yes. WhatsApp messages and voice and video calls work in Finland on mobile data. A voice call uses roughly 1MB a minute and a video call uses much more, so use WiFi for long video calls. Call quality depends on your signal.
Will my phone work with a GleeSim eSIM?
Most phones sold in the last few years support eSIM, including recent iPhones, Google Pixels and Samsung Galaxy models. Your phone must be eSIM compatible and network unlocked. If you are not sure, send us your phone model on WhatsApp and we will check before you pay.
What happens if I run out of data in Lapland?
Send us a WhatsApp message and we add more data to the same eSIM within minutes. You don't need a new QR code or a shop.
