How do I top up a prepaid SIM and check my balance in Norway?

Apps, top-up codes, balance checks and keeping the card active.

Short answer

You can top up a Norwegian prepaid SIM in the operator's app or on its website, and Telenor top-up codes are also sold in supermarkets and at Narvesen. The same app shows your balance, and Telenor customers can also text SALDO to 2525. Telia accepts payment by Vipps or bank card.

Why

  1. Telia lets you top up in the Telia app or on its top-up page, with amounts from 50 to 500 kroner.
  2. With a Telenor top-up card or electronic code, you call +47 915 00 900 and enter the code printed on the receipt.
  3. Telenor customers can check their balance on My Pages, in the Mitt Telenor app, by texting SALDO to 2525 or by calling 915 00 500.

Details

A Telia prepaid card stays active only if you top up at least 50 kroner each year, and a Telenor prepaid card lasts 12 months after the last top-up. Mycall customers can top up in the Mycall app, online or by SMS, and Mycall products are sold in shops, kiosks and petrol stations, including Narvesen, Kiwi and 7-Eleven.

Tip

If paying online does not work for you, buy a top-up code in a shop instead: Telenor codes are sold at Meny, Kiwi, Spar, Joker, Coop, Narvesen and Mix.
