I've got a headache from trying to sort out SIM card possibilities in Norway. I'm going there in June and would ideally like to buy one (gps, hotspot, activated) at the airport in Oslo (on a Saturday). Does anyone have specific information about this and what product to buy? Help!?!?!?!?! Thanks.

The cell phone store at Gardemoen Airport is closed.
Are you headed into Oslo? If so, hop on a train into town and go to a cell phone shop in the "Byporten" mall, which is connected to the Oslo S train station.
If you're renting a car, there are both Telenor and Telia shops in Jessheim Storsenter mall, which is the closest mall to the airport.

Thank you. As it happens I am flying into Oslo but then almost immediately catching a plane to Bergen. I'm staying a bit outside of Bergen (and will be lugging a suitcase around as I try to find the place from the airport) -- and it will be a Saturday. I'd REALLY love to have a local sim card that day -- do you happen to know if there is a Telia booth at the Bergen Airport? Or, I will be taking a bus from the airport in Bergen to "bystasjonen" in order to catch another bus to the house I'm staying in. Would there be a Telia place near "bystasjonen?"

I looked at the Bergen Airport website and see there isn't a Telenor or Telia shop there. "Bystasjonen" translates into "City Station," so it's a perfect place to find the SIM you need. There's a mall right near the station called "Bergen Storsenter" that has both shops in it.

Any update regarding getting a sim card on weekend? I have a pretty similar situation. But, instead of saturday, I'll arrive in Oslo on Sunday. Since the mobile shop in the airport has been closed, I think my only option there will be any kiosk/ 7-11. But I'm not sure they can help with the registration process needed. I will have around 5 hour to explore the city before catching the flight to Bergen. But, again I'm not sure if telia (or others) shops will open on Sunday (I hope I'm wrong though). If getting one in Oslo doesn't work, I hope I can find it in Bergen. My flight will land at 5pm and I'll go straight to city center after that.
