Trip report: As the OP, I spent 7 weeks in Norway, using 6GB data package (55kn) on an old 2016 BonBon SIM card that customer service reactivated for me via email just prior to my trip. I also ordered 2 tourist SIMs for Poste Restante delivery at the Frankfurt Airport Post Office. BonBon does not deliver to Norway. It was easy enough to find the Airport Post Office but the unhelpful postal workers there said they had no General Delivery (Post Restante) after rummaging through some mail file drawers, and referred me to a postal facility outside and to the right nextdoor, a 5 minute fast walk, and outside security screening. The postal employees there seem also not to be familiar with Post Restante procedures, looked a few places and gave up. Maybe a smaller post office would work. These SIMs were ordered 3 weeks prior to my Frankfurt 4 hour stopover.

So I used the single pre-existing SIM with great results, although I was a fairly light data user, using less than a GB for email and web browsing. I created a printout with screenshots and translations of the bonbonijera.hr site to pay with my US VISA card and the SMS commands to select a data plan. This was necessary preparation. The last 3 weeks I renewed with the 3GB (44kn) data plan. I never checked my balance, but I was able to make a few calls in Norway at unknown rates. A drawback was that one mountain hotel would not answer my call from the Croatian number, whereas my AirBnB host got a response a few minutes later. Still really inexpensive compared to local Norwegian data SIM options.
