What mobile phone companies are popular in Norway?

by Todd Barnard

I’m studying abroad in Norway for a year and I was wondering what companies are used most often for cell phones there. Like here in America we use Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile probably the most. I have a T Mobile phone that would be fantastic for over there, it has the Norwegian letters and all, but I need to know if it’d be excellent or terrible to sign up for T Mobile there. I want something that won’t be out of service a lot.

Chess is well loved with the students since it’s cheap. Telenor is a bit better though. There’s Netcom too, but I haven’t used it. T-Mobile isn’t here.

Telenor is the largest and has the best service. I have an international plot through them, which in itself is a lot, but it makes it more affordable calling family back in the States. Once in Norway, go to any electronics store (such as Euronics or Elkjøp) which sell cell phones and plans (including pay-as-you-go). They help you with a variety of companies, not like the states where you go to one store for one company. If you don’t get a satisfactory answer or help on options from one person, go to another or another store. Because they sell mobiles and plans at general electronics supplies, not everyone who works in one specializes in knowing everything about it.

As far as using your T Mobile phone over here: I’m not sure if there is a chance that they work collectively as companies–most likely not, but check with T Mobile to be sure. If not, question T Mobile if you can get the code to unlock your phone so you can use the same phone over here. It usually requires having a plot on a phone for over a year before it can be unlocked. Then they will give you a series of codes that can only be tried up to a certain amount of times before it is permanently locked. They might send the codes in email, once you have requested it. Once a phone is unlocked, you are free to use any SIM card you want in it. Companies are usually reluctant to do this, but it is very possible, as long as you aren’t under further contract.

The deciding business in using a foreign phone in Europe, but, is result out which bandwidth it operates on. If your phone is a quadband phone, it will work over here. They operate on two different frequencies over here than they do in the states. If your phone is only dualband, it will only work in Oslo, at best. Check with T-Mobile if your particular phone model is quadband.

That’s pun , my sim card was also locked…about a week ago . but sadly NO you have to call your phone company and tell them your conundrum and if its really your pone just give them your information and they should give you the code . i have tmobile so it CAN be different but i highly doubt it . you have to have a code .
