Why You Should Consider Switching to an eSIM with Your New iPhone

eSIMs: A Smarter Way to Stay Connected

With the launch of the iPhone 17, many Norwegian users are considering an upgrade. People usually look for strong cameras, big storage, and long battery life — but one of the most important features today is eSIM. So what is it, and why is it such a good fit for Norway?
 

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital version of the plastic SIM card we’ve used for years. Instead of inserting a card, the SIM is built directly into your iPhone — ready to be activated instantly.

How Does it Work?

No need to wait for a SIM in the post or go to a store. Simply scan a QR code from your provider or use their app, and your new iPhone 17 is online in minutes.

Why Use an eSIM in Norway?

• Quick and easy setup: With Lyca Mobile Norway, you just scan a QR code and your Smart XL (249 NOK) or Smart XXL (299 NOK) plan is ready immediately.
• Perfect for travel: Many Lyca Mobile bundles include EU roaming, so you can travel seamlessly across Europe without swapping SIM cards.
• Two numbers, one phone: Keep work and private lines separate by using a physical SIM alongside your eSIM.
• Eco-friendly: Going digital reduces plastic use and shipping — a smarter choice for sustainability-conscious Norwegians.

The Takeaway

eSIM makes mobile life simpler, faster, and more flexible. For Norwegian iPhone 17 users, combining the new device with a Lyca Mobile prepaid SIM-only or eSIM plan is the perfect choice.

Popular options include Smart XL (249 NOK) and Smart XXL (299 NOK) — both with 5G speed and EU roaming.
