When going abroad in Europe – and especially Scandinavia – you need to the be aware of the roaming costs for using your mobiltelefon (Scandinavian for mobile phone). If you are unaware of the costs you might get an unpleasant surprise when getting the bill for your stay abroad. In Scandinavia the telcos work together and if you’re a customer in one country, you might get the same rate in other countries.

You also need to check with your provider to see if they offer a roaming plan for mobilt bredbånd – that’s Swedish for mobile broadband.

Using mobile broadband can be fast and furious, but it’s often associated with a huge cost. So, keep that in mind for the coming with season if you’re considering travelling to Sweden or Norway.
