Our verdict
Vimla suits Swedish subscribers on short trips who want a budget way to add data in Europe. Prices start at SEK 120, activation is instant and the service runs on Telenor's network, so setting up takes a top up on a plan they already hold.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Unused data can be saved on all subscriptions, so a light month is not wasted.
- Hotspot sharing and 5G are both included.
- The plan runs on the Telenor network.
- Roaming inside the EU/EEA and the UK is included while travelling, under a fair use cap.
Cons
- The fair use policy caps EU/EEA and UK roaming each month and sells unlimited data only as a short extra surfing add on.
- The reference plan prices cover Europe, and roaming in the US, Japan, Thailand, Turkey and Mexico is priced at each operator's own tariff.
- Support runs on a help centre only (help centre).
Who it suits
- Short trips to Europe on a Swedish plan where the included roaming is enough.
- Visitors crossing the EU/EEA and the UK who want data in the bundle.
- Light users who would rather save unused data than lose it monthly.
Who should look elsewhere
- Multi continent trips, where Zwitchy reaches 200 countries.
- Travellers starting small, since eSIMGo.is begins at $0.99.
- Trips centred on Israel, where SimToIsrael starts at $25.
Price per GB and validity
Vimla starts at SEK 120. The reference Europe plan is sold as a monthly data bundle, and the UK plus the EU/EEA is included while travelling up to a fair use cap. Outside that area, roaming in the US, Japan, Thailand, Turkey and Mexico follows each local operator's own tariff rather than a flat bundle.
Where it works
Vimla covers 37 countries over the Telenor network, and 5G is available on the plan. That footprint suits a regional trip through Europe and leaves long haul itineraries to wider eSIM options. Inside the covered area the connection behaves like an ordinary mobile line rather than a capped travel add on.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Vimla cost?+
Vimla is priced from SEK 120, and the reference Europe plan is sold as a monthly bundle rather than a pay as you go daily rate. The UK plus the EU/EEA is included while travelling, so a trip inside that area adds little to the bill. Roaming further out follows each local operator's own tariff.
Is unlimited data included?+
Unlimited data is listed among the plan features (unlimited data, 5g and hotspot), but it is not the default allowance. The fair use policy sells it only as a short extra surfing add on, and roaming inside the EU/EEA and the UK stays capped at a fair use limit each month. Unused data can be saved on all subscriptions.
How many countries does Vimla cover?+
Vimla covers 37 countries, which is a regional footprint rather than a global one. It works well for a loop through Europe, where UK and EU/EEA roaming is included while travelling. Trips that cross several continents are better served by a wider eSIM.
Which network does Vimla use and is 5G included?+
Vimla runs on the Telenor network (Telenor), and 5G is available on the plan. Because the service sits on a single host network rather than a multi network partner list, coverage follows the Telenor footprint in each covered country. That is worth checking against your itinerary before you commit.
Who runs Vimla?+
Vimla is listed as an MVNO (mvno) based in Sweden, and its legal entity is Telenor Sverige AB. The service therefore runs on established host infrastructure rather than a standalone network build out, and any contract or dispute sits with a named Swedish company.
How do I get help from Vimla?+
Support is a help centre only (help centre), so most questions are answered through articles rather than by a person. That suits self serve problems such as checking a top up or reading the fair use terms. For anything urgent, allow for the delay before you travel.
Can I share Vimla data as a hotspot?+
Hotspot sharing is supported, and it sits in the same feature list as instant activation (unlimited data, 5g and hotspot). Running a laptop or tablet from the phone is practical on a short Europe trip, and the same fair use cap applies to the shared traffic. Top ups are available if you need more.
