Our verdict
Telia is the network operator behind these plans in Finland, so the price and the service sit with a single company. The unlimited data plan at €20.99 suits households that want one home network and clear terms rather than a resale deal. It is a Finnish choice rather than a travel or multinational one.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The entry price and the unlimited data price are the same figure, €20.99 and €20.99, so unlimited data costs nothing extra over the cheapest plan.
- EU roaming is included, and eSIM and 5G are both part of the range.
- Terms run 1 and 12, so a plan with no fixed term sits beside the longer fixed-term option instead of being the only choice.
- Telia sells as a network rather than a reseller, and support runs on chat, phone and help centre at that same company.
Cons
- The entry price of €20.99 sits above the €9.30 median across the site, and well above yesss! at €0.
- A fixed-term plan sits in the reference list, so the faster unlimited data option comes with a commitment of 1 and 12.
- Support runs on chat, phone and help centre only, with no wider help desk behind it.
- The plans run in FI only, so a household needing permanent service elsewhere needs a different provider.
Who it suits
- Finnish households that want the plan from the network operator itself rather than from a reseller.
- People who want unlimited data with no fixed term and are content at €20.99 a month.
- Travellers within Europe, since roaming there is included.
Who should look elsewhere
- Price-first buyers: yesss! starts at €0, so €20.99 is not the cheapest way in.
- Buyers who want prepaid handled by a separate seller: GETESA bills on prepaid and contract alongside Lonestar Cell MTN at contract and prepaid, where Telia is the network itself.
- Anyone needing service outside the home country, since the plans run in FI only.
Plans and prices
Plans start at €20.99 a month, and that same figure is also the price of the unlimited data plan, €20.99. The reference list shows unlimited data in two shapes: one with no fixed term at the entry price, and a faster plan on a full contract term, which carries a higher monthly figure than the entry price. Because the entry and the unlimited data price are identical, unlimited data is not a paid upgrade. A shorter commitment is available too, so the fixed-term route is optional rather than the only way in.
Core features
Sim only is available, so the plan arrives without a handset and works on a phone you already own. 5G is available, placing the range on the current network generation rather than an older one. Esim is available as well, so the profile can be activated digitally instead of waiting for a physical card. Taken together, the three cover the choices most households weigh first: bring your own phone, current network, and a profile that does not need posting out.
How it compares on our data
On the entry price, Telia ranks 241 among 258 brands compared on price from. On the unlimited data price the rank is 77 among 173. The gap between the two ranks is the useful part: the entry rate sits far down the list, while the unlimited data rate sits much nearer the front. Readers who weigh the price of unlimited data rather than the lowest headline rate will see the stronger number.
The company behind it
The plans are sold by Telia Finland Oyj, based in Finland. Support runs on chat, phone and help centre, all through the same company. Buying from the operator itself means the contract, the network and the help desk belong to a single business rather than to a reseller and a separate host, which keeps the party you deal with and the party that supplies coverage the same.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Telia mobile plan cost each month?+
Plans start at €20.99 a month. That entry figure is also the price of the unlimited data option, €20.99, so the unlimited plan carries no extra charge over the cheapest rate. The reference list pairs that price with both a no-fixed-term arrangement and a longer fixed term, so the monthly number depends on which plan you take rather than on the data allowance alone.
Do I have to sign a fixed term to get unlimited data?+
No. Unlimited data is available with no fixed term, and a separate faster plan on the same unlimited data runs on a full contract term. Terms across the range run 1 and 12, and billing runs contract, rolling and prepaid, so prepaid, rolling and contract arrangements all exist. The commitment you sign is a separate choice from the data you get.
Is roaming in Europe included?+
Roaming in the EU is included on these plans, so using the phone across the euro area does not call for a separate roaming purchase. The plans themselves run in FI and are sold by Telia Finland Oyj. Roaming here covers travel use rather than a second home market.
Can I get an eSIM and 5G on the same plan?+
Esim is available and 5G is available, and both apply to plans sold from €20.99. Sim only is also on offer, so the plan arrives without a handset. The practical effect is a digital profile rather than a card to wait for, on a network that already runs 5G.
Who am I actually buying from?+
The plans are sold by Telia Finland Oyj, a company based in Finland, and Telia sells as a network rather than a reseller. Support runs on chat, phone and help centre at that same company. Contract, network and help desk therefore sit inside a single organisation instead of being split between a host network and a separate seller.
Which countries do these plans work in?+
The plans run in Finland, with Telia Finland Oyj as the seller and FI as the home country. Coverage outside that market is not part of the package, though EU roaming is included for trips across the euro area. Anyone needing a permanent service in another country needs a different provider.
How do I get help with the plan?+
Support runs on chat, phone and help centre, all provided by Telia Finland Oyj. Chat and phone suit quick questions and account changes, with a help centre for reference material. Because the seller is the network operator, there is no separate reseller to approach, and questions about coverage go to the company running the network.
How does the price compare with other brands?+
On the entry price, Telia ranks 241 among 258 brands compared on that measure. On the unlimited data price the rank is 77 among 173. The unlimited data price is the stronger of the two, well ahead of the entry ranking. Cheaper options such as yesss!, at €0, sit at another price point entirely.
