A few details that help before and during your trip.
Mobile coverage in Svalbard and Jan Mayen
Svalbard's mobile network is served by Telenor Norway, with 4G LTE coverage available in Longyearbyen and the immediate surrounding area. Barentsburg, the Russian mining settlement, and Ny-Ålesund research station have their own separate communication infrastructure. The vast wilderness of Svalbard outside Longyearbyen, including glacier areas, national park zones, and the remote northern and eastern parts of the archipelago, has no mobile coverage. Jan Mayen has no civilian mobile network whatsoever, with only a Norwegian military and meteorological presence and communication relying entirely on satellite systems. MobiSIM connects through supported local networks to deliver the best available data in Longyearbyen during your Svalbard stay.
