Where can you buy an eSIM for Sweden?
Operator eSIMs, travel eSIMs and what to check first.
Short answer
You can get an eSIM for Sweden from Swedish operators such as Comviq, Hallon and Lyca Mobile or from travel eSIM sellers such as Airalo. Swedish prepaid eSIMs must be registered with an identity check, while Airalo sells packs by duration and data amount and has a filter for data-only eSIMs.
Why
- Comviq says an eSIM can be ordered through Mitt Konto or the Comviq app, and that every prepaid card must be registered before it can be used.
- Hallon says that if your phone supports eSIM you can choose a digital prepaid card instead of a physical one, and Lyca Mobile offers a choice between SIM card and eSIM.
- Airalo's Sweden page offers local data packs of 3 to 30 days and says you can install the eSIM before you arrive.
Details
At Tre an eSIM must be tied to a Tre subscription or prepaid card with its own number, and Tele2's eSIM page covers subscriptions. Apple suggests adding a local data plan when you travel abroad.

Tip
Install a travel eSIM at home with a stable internet connection, as Airalo describes, and check that your phone supports eSIM first. This page names sellers as examples and does not rank them.
What may differ
A travel eSIM may carry data only, without a Swedish phone number or calls, while a Swedish operator's prepaid eSIM comes with a Swedish number. Airalo says calls and texts apply only if included with your eSIM.
Common misconception
A travel eSIM for Sweden always includes a Swedish phone number and calls.
What actually happens
Airalo's Sweden page has a filter for data-only eSIMs and says calls and texts apply only if included with your eSIM, so check each plan's details.
