I was in Norway December 2015. I visited the NetCom store in Bergen as I wanted access to use my iPhone to access data, without paying UK access rates.

Very helpful English-speaking guy explained the following available:

Smart mini for 1 GB @ 199 NOK; Smart mini Ekstra 1.5 GB @ 249 NOK; Smart basis 3 GB @ 299 NOK. You can get SIM cards at up to 20 GB for 649 NOK. Free calls, SMS / MMS and on the 3GB and upwards, free calls to other Scand countries.

I bought the 3 GB one and paid 299 plus 99 NOK activation. Total 398 NOK (Around £30 UK£). Details as in the NetCom info above. They needed my passport as ID and it was all done within 10 minutes and they inserted the nano SIM and checked it was working. The coverage was almost always 4G and very good - even out on remote fjords.

I didn't need to top up, but note that all instructions in Norwegian only. To check your balance dial *150# and it shows what amout of data you have left (not what you have used). NB you had to pay extra to be able to make calls to e.g. UK, France etc. I just called out via Skype and WhatsApp and I put my UK SIM in a spare old Nokia I have so anyone calling me could still get me, but I would not be charged roaming rates.

I can thoroughly recommend NetCom.
