Mobile Plan Comparison in Norway

How does the mobile plan comparison work?

The localmarket.no comparison lists mobile plans and prepaid SIM cards from operators in Norway: Telia, Talkmore, Lyca Mobile, OneCall, Pluss Mobil, Saga Mobil and Trøndermobil. Use the sliders to set how much data you use each month and the most you want to pay, and you will only see matching offers. Results are sorted from the cheapest by default, but you can also sort them by data amount or price per GB.

For each offer we show the data allowance and speed, calls and texts, contract type, network and price per GB. We check prices with the operators and keep them up to date – the current list reflects prices as of November 2026.

Mobile networks in Norway: Telenor, Telia and Ice

Norway has three mobile networks: Telenor, Telia and Ice. Most budget brands do not build their own infrastructure but use one of these networks (so-called virtual operators, or MVNOs). Talkmore, Pluss Mobil, Saga Mobil and Trøndermobil run on Telenor's network, while OneCall uses Telia's. A cheaper plan therefore does not have to mean worse coverage.

Before switching, check the network's coverage where you live and work and where you often travel, for example at your cabin (hytte). Outside the big cities, the differences between networks can be noticeable.

Subscription or prepaid SIM (kontantkort)?

A subscription (abonnement) is a fixed monthly fee charged by direct debit or invoice. A prepaid SIM (kontantkort) has no contract – you pay in advance, for example for 30 days, and can stop topping up at any time. Prepaid is a good way to start if you do not yet have a Norwegian national identity number or BankID.

Most budget plans in the comparison have no binding period (bindingstid), so you can switch operator whenever you find a better deal.

How much data do you need?

• 1–3 GB – messaging, email, maps and occasional browsing.


• 5–15 GB – social media, music streaming and everyday use away from Wi-Fi.


• 20 GB or more, or unlimited – video, video calls, working on the go and sharing your connection with other devices.

You can see how much data you use in your phone settings or in your current operator's app. With "unlimited" plans, check the speed – 10 Mbit/s is enough for everyday use, but a faster option is better for high-quality video.

How do I keep my number when switching?

Number porting (nummerportering) is free, and your new operator handles the whole process. Order the new plan, choose to keep your current number and confirm your identity – usually with BankID. Do not cancel your old contract yourself before the new operator has moved your number.

Can I get a mobile plan in Norway with a D-number?

Many operators require a Norwegian national identity number and BankID. If you only have a D-number, the easiest start is a prepaid SIM such as Lyca Mobile, or ask the operator which registration methods are available.

Can I use my Norwegian plan elsewhere in Europe?

Yes. The plans in the comparison include use in the EU and EEA under fair use rules. The roaming data allowance may be lower than in Norway.

Does it cost anything to keep my number?

Porting your number to another operator in Norway is free. Any costs can only come from your old contract, such as a binding period or phone instalments.
