We are hoping to be able to get a SIM card to serve us on our trip to Finland, Estonia, Sweden, and Norway. Is this possible? I have an iPhone.

Sorry not to be able to help more, but a company (big one) called Telia sells SIM-cards that work in all those countries + there is just a monthly fee of about 29 dollars including both data and calls.
I have one.
But... I don´t know, if it takes a long time to get it for a foreigner...

Thanks, I will look that up. We arrive first in Finland, which I understand to be the SIM card capital of the world (Nokia) so I will duck into a call-shop when we arrive and see what they can do for me.

Hi Jtraveler,
Were you able to get a simcard at Finland airport (or somewhere in Helsinki) which works in Scandinavian countries?
We'll also be traveling through Scandinavia and will be entering through Helsinki and are wondering if we can get Telia or someother company sim which is valid for 2+ weeks for data & calls and works in Sweden, Norway & Denmark?
If so, can you pls guide us on where to get it from and can we get it by showing our passport? And whats the cost.
Thanks

Hi -
We actually opted not to do this after all. For our purposes, we ended up turning our phones on "Airplane Mode" and using them with Wifi for messaging home to family/friends without any telephone connection. My wife and I spent most of our trip together and din't need phones to communicate with one another so much.
Best of luck.
