Short answer
Check your Norwegian operator's roaming terms before departure. An eSIM can handle data while you keep your Norwegian SIM for services you need, but you must choose the correct data line.
Checklist
- Read your operator's roaming price for Thailand
- Select the eSIM as the data line when you land
- Follow the BankID app's requirements rather than relying on SMS alone
Common question
Can I use my Norwegian number with an eSIM in Thailand?
