In Finland, the mobile market is a high-speed playground where "unlimited" is the standard. For February 2026, the major operators—Elisa, Telia, and DNA—are currently running "Winter 5G" campaigns, and the first-ever 5.5G (5G Advanced) zones are appearing in Helsinki and Tampere.
1. Major Operator Offers (The Big Three)
Finnish plans are almost always unlimited data; you pay for the speed rather than the amount of GB.
* Telia Finland:
* Valentine’s Campaign: Running through February 22, 2026, Telia is offering an "Unlimited 4G Surf" (31 days) pack for €18.99 (regularly €19.99).
* 5G Prepaid: A high-speed 31-day Unlimited 5G pack is available for €24.99.
* Handset Deal: Purchase the new iPhone 17 today and receive a trade-in bonus of up to €500 for your old device.
* Elisa:
* The 5G Leader: Elisa currently covers over 97% of the population with 5G. They are pushing "Independent 5G" (5G SA) which offers lower latency for gamers.
* Promo: Their 600 Mbps 5G plan is currently discounted for the first 12 months for new customers, often including a subscription to Elisa Viihde (streaming service).
* DNA:
* Rajaton (Unlimited) Prepaid: Offers a simple daily rate. 4G unlimited is €0.99/day, while 5G capability is €1.29/day.
* App Bonus: Download the DNA Prepaid app to get a free 24-hour internet access gift as a new user.
2. The Budget Champion: Moi Mobiili
Moi is a smaller provider that uses DNA’s network and is famous for its "fair" pricing.
* Potti Plan: Instead of paying for unlimited, you pay a smaller fee for a shared pool of data (e.g., 6 GB for €9), and any extra data is charged at a low flat rate.
* Unlimited 5G: Their 400 Mbps 5G plan is widely considered the best "no-contract" value in the country, starting around €20–€24/month.
3. Handset Deals & Tech (February 2026)
With the Samsung Galaxy S26 series launching on February 25, 2026, retailers like Multitronic and Gigantti are clearing out S25 stock.
* Samsung Galaxy S25 FE: Now available for approx. €22/month on interest-free installments.
* Samsung Galaxy A56 5G: Currently bundled with a €50 gift card at several electronics retailers for €299.
* iPhone 17 Pro Max: Retailing for approx. €1,499 (Cosmic Orange is the trending color this month).
* Motorola Edge 60 Pro: A high-end alternative available for €434.90.
4. Traveler & eSIM Specials
If you are visiting Lapland or Helsinki this week:
* Jetpac: Currently the "cheapest entry" with a 1 GB plan for $1.00 USD.
* eSIM4: Ranked as the "Best Overall Value" for 2026, offering robust 5G coverage via DNA.
* Ubigi: The best choice for digital nomads, offering large-scale 5G packs (up to 50 GB) for remote work in the Finnish wilderness.
Important News: The End of Landlines
If you are moving to Finland, note that Elisa is officially retiring its landline network on June 30, 2026. If you encounter a home with a fixed phone line, it will likely stop working this summer.
