Staying online in Åland, on the islands and on the Baltic ferries

Yes, an eSIM works in Åland, and ours runs on Ålcom, the local operator, with 5G listed in our catalogue. Åland belongs to Finland and the EU, yet our Europe plan does not include it, so this plan is the one for the islands. Most visitors arrive by ferry, and out at sea a travel eSIM has no masts to reach.

01 Who runs the mobile network in Åland?

Ålcom, based in Mariehamn, runs the network our plan uses. It launched 5G on 14 December 2022 in central Mariehamn, then took it to the rest of Mariehamn, most of Jomala and Godby during 2023. Its target was 5G across most of Åland by 2025.

Its 5G comes in two layers. The 700 MHz band reaches further at lower speeds, while 5G+ on 3.8 GHz is faster but short range, so Ålcom puts it in built up areas such as Mariehamn. Ålcom also switched its 2G network off for good on 3 February 2025. Its 3G is still running, with no shutdown date set yet.

02 Does our Europe plan cover Åland?

No. Our Europe plan covers Finland and Sweden but not Åland. So a Stockholm to Helsinki trip with a stop in Mariehamn needs two plans: this one for the islands and a Europe plan for either side. Neither clock starts until that plan first connects in a place it covers.

Åland is an unusual case on paper too. It is part of Finland and the EU, so an EU SIM's roam like at home allowance applies there. Yet it sits outside the EU's VAT and excise area, behind a tax border.

03 What happens to your data on the Stockholm and Turku ferries?

Away from the coast a travel eSIM loses signal, because it needs a mast on land. Between ports, plan on the ship's wifi. Tallink Silja says wifi on its ships is free for all passengers at up to 10 Mbit/s, over a radio link that slows at busy times or in bad weather.

Everyone on board shares that wifi, so download maps and tickets before you board.

Some ships also carry their own mobile network linked to shore by satellite. It is separate from your travel eSIM, and EU roaming rules stop applying once service runs over satellite, so there is no price cap. Keep data roaming off on your home SIM while you sail. We explain how data works at sea and in port in more detail.

The big cruiseferries between Finland and Sweden call at Mariehamn or Långnäs so they can keep selling duty free goods. If you're only passing through, keep the Åland line switched off, so a short stop in port doesn't start its days.

04 Heading out to Kökar, Föglö or Brändö

The archipelago ferries run by Ålandstrafiken are free for foot passengers, on four lines linking the main island with the outer municipalities. Before you set off, check Ålcom's coverage maps for the islands you plan to visit, and download offline maps of Åland while you have a good signal.

Buses from Mariehamn run on five lines, with limited service in the evenings and at weekends, so save the timetables to your phone. In June, July and August a bicycle ferry links Hammarland and Geta. Åland measures roughly 50 km from east to west, and Visit Åland calls it cycling friendly, with a growing network of cycle tracks.

05 Which Åland plan to pick

For a day or two of heavy use, unlimited is the easy choice. Unlimited plans give full speed up to 3 GB per day, then up to 1 Mbps for the rest of that day. Fixed plans suit a longer summer stay with lighter use.

Good to know

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our Aland Islands eSIM.

Yes. Åland belongs to Finland and so to the EU, which means an EU operator bills your data there at home prices, within its fair use rules. The islands only stand apart on tax. They sit outside the EU's VAT area, which matters for goods you carry but not for roaming.

In places, and speeds vary. Our plan runs on Ålcom, which uses 700 MHz for wider 5G reach at lower speeds and 3.8 GHz for faster 5G+, mainly in built up areas such as Mariehamn. Check Ålcom's coverage map for the village where you are staying.

Check before you go, because we cannot promise signal on every outer island. Ålcom publishes coverage maps, so look up each island on your route. Download offline maps of Åland in Mariehamn first, as the free Ålandstrafiken ferries carry foot passengers a long way from town.
