Sweden is one of the easiest countries to buy a Prepaid package in. You buy it just as easy as buy patatoes; Pick one out, pay and leave. No registration of any kind and all cards are self activating the minute you start using it.

The Telenor Kontant might be the one you're looking for. But for the data traffic package you'll need to call Customers Service, everyone working there speaks English and the phone call is free of charge.

When you buy the Card, it's empty. You'll have to buy a top up aswell.
I would recommend you to buy 100 SEK "Enkelt" (which means Simple). The price plan and the card itself is then valid for 12 month.
Or if you're planning to phone home and send your SMS and MMS back home, I'll recommend the price plan "World". The price plan is valid for 30 days and the card itself is then valid for 12 month. After 30 days the price plan will fall back on an underlying expensive plan until you top up your card again.

Price examples "World":
Call connection fee 0.99 SEK
Per minute Sweden 0.39 SEK
Per minute Hungary fixed line 0.45 SEK
Per minute Hungary mobile 3.40 SEK
SMS Sweden 0.69 SEK
SMS international 0,99 SEK
MMS Sweden+Int 1,59 SEK
Data traffic maximum 19 SEK/day
Data traffic Package 69 SEK/30 days (no GB traffic limit)


Price examples "Enkelt":
Call connection fee 0.59 SEK
Per minute Sweden 0.59 SEK
SMS Sweden 0.59 SEK
SMS international 2.50 SEK
MMS Sweden+Int 1,59 SEK
Data traffic maximum 19 SEK/day
Data traffic Package 69 SEK/30 days (no GB traffic limit)
