I bought it on Taobao. The 2G traffic is very good and only 88 yuan, but it can't make phone calls. I also bought a 3G traffic that can make phone calls, which is less than 200 yuan.

I've been in Iceland for three days. I've used my credit card to pay for groceries at the supermarket, at the hotel, and to buy a local phone card. But no one has asked me to enter a password or sign anything. My credit card is from CMB and the gas station didn't ask me to enter a password because I bought a gas card. I'm not sure why ?

Do you need a mobile phone card when traveling to Iceland recently? We bought it at the information center of Reykjavik City Hall, a SIM card from Siminn operator, with 1G of traffic. We bought a Vodafone card on Taobao before going abroad, thinking that maybe this SIM card from Siminn would have signal where Vodafone has no signal, and spent 1900 Icelandic krónur on it. But since the card bought on Taobao was not used up in the end, this one was not used. If anyone wants it, 90 yuan including shipping. And we also include the remaining hundreds of megabytes of traffic from the Vodafone card we bought on Taobao, but the validity period of the Vodafone card seems to be approaching, only those who start recently can catch up and use it. Friends who need it can message me ? Iceland Q&A

Thank you for the reminder, it's really good advice, thank you! I'm flying in from Oslo and have been traveling in Norway before. I have a 4-night itinerary in Iceland, planning to fly in at noon and stay in Vik that night, then visit the black sand beach in the morning of the second day and go glacier hiking in the afternoon, staying at a hotel near Jokulsarlon glacier that night, visiting the ice lake and ice beach on the third day and driving back, passing through Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss along the way, staying at Selfoss that night, sightseeing in Reykjavik city and visiting the Blue Lagoon on the fourth day, staying near the airport that night, and taking an early morning flight to Stockholm on the fifth day. If I don't have time to see the attractions of the Golden Circle on the first day, is it possible to fit them in on the fourth day, or should I only choose one or two attractions of the Golden Circle, or give them up altogether? Thank you for your guidance, I really appreciate it ? Iceland Q&A

I was following a local photographer from Reykjavik to Vik in Iceland, and she was driving at over 100 km/h the whole way. I asked her if there were any problems, and she said that there were no speed cameras in Iceland, only police officers hiding in the bushes on some busy roads! When we entered some towns, she was also driving at a speed of over 70 km/h past the speed cameras! At the time, I was also very worried! Later on, I found that there were two types of speed cameras. One type only measured the speed, and the other type had two flashing lights on top of it. I guessed that the first type did not take pictures! Everyone can refer to this! I was driving at a speed of 100-110 km/h the whole way, and there were still many cars that passed me! On the three-digit sections, driving at 30 km/h and avoiding large stones was not a problem! The regular ring road route has no place that only SUVs can pass! As long as you don't have a tire burst, any car can go! The above is just personal advice! Everyone should decide according to their own situation! If there are more people, it's better to rent a larger car. The average cost per person won't be much different ? Iceland Q&A

I have two questions now, see who can help answer them; First, we want to drive from the airport to Oslo and Reykjavik city, walk around a few attractions, how to park in the city? How to pay for parking meters? If there is no cash on hand, can the airport swipe the card to withdraw cash? Second, I have booked some homestays in Norway and Iceland, but I estimate that I will not be able to check in until after 9 pm every day. How do the landlords usually leave the door for us to check in? It's our first time to stay, we don't know each other, and we don't know the specific location of the homestay ? Iceland Q&A
