The Faroe Islands belong to Denmark, so can I use a Denmark eSIM?

The Faroe Islands are a self-governing territory of Denmark, but they run their own separate telecom network. A Denmark eSIM is treated as roaming in the Faroe Islands, so you may face extra charges or slower speeds. Choosing an eSIM just for the Faroe Islands, or a Europe-wide plan that covers the Faroe Islands, is much more reliable.

Is the internet connected when I travel between the islands by ferry?

The Faroe Islands are made up of 18 islands, and you travel between them by ferry or through tunnels. On stretches close to land, a 4G connection is mostly maintained, but on stretches of open sea between the islands, the signal may weaken or drop. Around the main villages and well-known hiking spots, you connect reliably with about 90% coverage.

In what situations do I especially need the internet when travelling in the Faroe Islands?

The Faroe Islands are famous for weather that changes several times a day. Checking a real-time weather app is directly tied to your safety when hiking. Public transport is also limited, so you need to check bus timetables and ferry schedules frequently, and where there are no signs in English, a map app is essential. A reliable data connection is also a great help if you want to post your photos on social media right after taking them.

Can I use my Korean plugs as they are in Faroese outlets?

The Faroe Islands use European-style Type C/E/F/K outlets. They are sometimes compatible with Korea's 220V two-pin plugs (Type SE), but the plug shape may differ, so it is best to pack a European adapter. The voltage is 220V, the same as in Korea, so you do not need a separate voltage converter.

When should I install my Faroe Islands eSIM?

We recommend installing it a day or two before departure Korea. You can install the eSIM easily with a QR code, and once it is installed, it links up automatically with the Føroya Tele network when you arrive. Many travellers go via Copenhagen, so if you also need data during your layover, consider a Europe-wide plan.

Does eSIM work in Faroe Islands?

Faroe Islands supports eSIM, and plans start from ₩3,752. Install it with the QR code you receive after buying, then just turn on data roaming after you arrive and you are connected straight away. There is no need to swap your SIM.

Travel eSIM or carrier roaming: which is cheaper for a trip to Faroe Islands?

For a short trip or light data use, a travel eSIM is usually cheaper. Unlimited roaming from Korean carriers costs about ₩11,000–₩15,000 a day, but with an eSIM you can buy just the days of data you need in advance. For a short trip for one or two people, an eSIM has a big advantage; for a family or very heavy data use, compare carrier unlimited roaming too.

Which carrier network does a Faroe Islands eSIM use?

In Faroe Islands it connects automatically to local carrier networks such as Føroya Tele · Hey (4G/LTE, 5G where supported). Population coverage is about 90%. It picks the network with the strongest signal automatically, so there is nothing to set up.

Can I keep using my Korean number while travelling in Faroe Islands?

Yes. The eSIM works as a data-only second line, so your Korean SIM and number stay as they are. Use the Yeohaengyusim eSIM for data only, and keep receiving calls, texts and KakaoTalk on your Korean number.

Can I add to or extend my Faroe Islands eSIM plan?

Yes. When you use up your data or the plan period ends, you can buy a new plan at any time. Keep using the eSIM profile you already installed; there is no need to install it again, so you carry on without interruption.

Can I use tethering (hotspot) in Faroe Islands?

Yes. In Faroe Islands you can share your eSIM data with other devices such as a laptop or tablet by tethering (hotspot). Shared data also comes out of your plan allowance, so if you tether a lot we recommend choosing a little more data.

How many GB of data do I need for a trip to Faroe Islands?

For mostly maps and messaging, we recommend about 1 GB a day; to use plenty of social media and photo uploads, about 2 GB a day. If you stream a lot of video or tether a lot, an unlimited plan is better. You can always buy more if you run short, so it is fine to choose a little extra at first.

Set in the middle of the North Atlantic, the Faroe Islands are counted as a dream destination among travellers who love photography, thanks to their towering cliffs, emerald fjords and mysterious landscapes under low-hanging clouds. From hiking trails that follow the fjords and grass-roofed villages in vivid contrasting colours to the dazzlingly beautiful Múlafossur waterfall — it is a place where every step draws gasps of wonder. But what if, in such a distant and unfamiliar island nation, you get lost, the weather suddenly changes or you need to check your accommodation again? Without the internet, each of those moments can leave you at a loss. If you install a Yeohaengyusim eSIM in advance, you can check maps, translations and weather information in real time anywhere in the Faroe Islands, so you can enjoy your trip in a much more relaxed way.

Why an eSIM really helps in the Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands are a self-governing territory of Denmark, and international roaming charges from Korean carriers are quite expensive there. It is also not easy to get a local SIM near the airport or the harbours, and as it is an island nation, you need a network even while you travel between islands by ferry. With a Yeohaengyusim eSIM, you can install it before departure Korea and connect automatically to the Føroya Tele network the moment you reach the Faroe Islands. There is no worry about swapping or losing a SIM card, and you keep your existing Korean number, so it is easy to stay in touch with family and friends. The weather in the Faroe Islands changes so much that checking real-time weather information is essential, and with reliable 4G data you can adjust your hiking plans flexibly too. Wherever you are, at Múlafossur, Sørvágur or Tórshavn, share your photos straight away over fast internet.
