Vodafone Faroe Islands, previously known as Hey by Vodafone, is one of the two mobile providers in the Faroe Islands. Here are some key points about its mobile network:
Coverage: Vodafone Faroe Islands offers 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G coverage in various locations across the Faroe Islands, including major towns like Tórshavn, Klaksvík, and Vágur.
Availability: The network is available in most gas stations and kiosks, and it is also accessible in shopping centers. However, it is not available at the airport, unlike Faroese Telecom (Ver).
Performance: Users have reported mixed experiences with Vodafone's service, noting that it can be unreliable, especially in rural areas. In some towns, the service can be good, but it quickly drops off in between towns.
Comparison with Faroese Telecom: Faroese Telecom (Ver) is generally considered to have better coverage, especially in rural areas. Ver has more cell towers and antennas, which provides more comprehensive coverage across the islands.
