What Denmark data actually costs
Denmark travel eSIM prices look random until you convert every plan to one number: the real cost per gigabyte. Here is what that reveals right now.
The cheapest plan at each size, 30 days
| Data | Cheapest provider | Total | Price per GB | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 GB | Airalo | $35 | $0.70/GB | Get plan ↗ |
| 25 GB | Ubigi | $21 | $0.84/GB | Get plan ↗🏷 10% off with code TRAVELCITY10 |
| 20 GB | Nomad | $20 | $1.00/GB | Get plan ↗🏷 20% off with code ATESIM |
| 10 GB | Ubigi | $11 | $1.10/GB | Get plan ↗🏷 10% off with code TRAVELCITY10 |
| 5 GB | Sim Local | $9.75 | $1.95/GB | Get plan ↗🏷 10% off with code ATESIM |
| 1 GB | Yesim | $2.92 | $2.92/GB | Get plan ↗🏷 15% off with code TRAVELCITY |
Cost per GB rises from $0.70/GB at 50 GB to $2.92/GB at 1 GB. Buying a little more data than you expect to use is almost always cheaper per gigabyte than buying exactly what you need.
The "unlimited" trap
The same words, unlimited for 30 days, cover a wide price range, and most plans slow down after a daily threshold that the label hides.
| Provider | Unlimited, 30 days | Fair-use cap | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ubigi | $39 | Not published | Get plan ↗🏷 10% off with code TRAVELCITY10 |
| Maya | $49.99 | 3 GB/day, then 10 Mbps source | Get plan ↗🏷 10% off with code ATESIM |
| GigSky | $65.49 | 2.5 GB/day, then reduced, but not below 100 kbps source | Get plan ↗🏷 15% off with code ATESIM |
| Yesim | $67.21 | Not published | Get plan ↗🏷 15% off with code TRAVELCITY |
| Airalo | $71 | 3 GB/day, then 1 Mbps source | Get plan ↗ |
| Saily | $71.99 | 5 GB/day, then 1 Mbps source | Get plan ↗ |
Unlimited 30 day plans run from $39 to $71.99, a spread of about 85 percent, for a label that means the same thing on paper. Check the daily cap before you buy, especially if you plan to tether a laptop.
Do not overpay for coverage you will not use
If your whole trip is in Denmark, a Denmark only plan is far cheaper per gigabyte than a Europe or global plan carrying the same data. Same provider (Nomad), same 50 GB, 30 days:
| Nomad plan | Price | Price per GB | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Denmark only | $45 | $0.90/GB | Get plan ↗🏷 20% off with code ATESIM |
| Europe | $35 | $0.70/GB | Get plan ↗🏷 20% off with code ATESIM |
| Global | $129 | $2.58/GB | Get plan ↗🏷 20% off with code ATESIM |
A Denmark only plan costs much less per gigabyte than a regional or global plan with the same data. Only pay for the wider plan if you are actually crossing borders on this trip.
Which network does your Denmark eSIM use?
This is the question that decides your real signal, and almost no comparison site answers it. Your travel eSIM connects to one or more local networks as a visitor, and that choice matters the moment you leave the big cities, because rural coverage varies a lot between them.
| Provider | Host network | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Airalo | Not publicly disclosed (Teledansk plan reported on Telenor, unconfirmed) | Confirming |
| GigSky | Not publicly disclosed | Confirming |
| Ubigi | 3 (Hi3G), Nuuday (TDC Net / YouSee), and Telia | Confirmed |
| Nomad | Not publicly disclosed | Confirming |
| Saily | Not publicly disclosed (aggregates multiple Danish networks) | Confirming |
| Yesim | Not publicly disclosed | Confirming |
Only Ubigi names its Danish partners (3/Hi3G, Nuuday under TDC Net, and Telia); the other five do not publish a host network, and because all four Danish operators perform well, provider choice matters less here than data allowance and price.
Coverage by where you are going
- Four national networks (TDC Net's YouSee/Nuuday, Telenor, Telia, and 3/Hi3G) cover well over 99% of the population, with TDC Net holding the widest geographic reach.
- 5G is live across Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, and Aalborg, and Opensignal has ranked Telia and Telenor top for 5G availability in Denmark.
- The driverless Copenhagen Metro has mobile coverage at all underground stations and in the tunnels.
- Greenland and the Faroe Islands are Danish territories but are not covered by a Denmark eSIM; they sit outside the EU and run separate networks (Tusass in Greenland, Faroese Telecom and Hey in the Faroes).
- Rural western Jutland, small islands, and open-water ferry routes can drop from 5G to 4G, though data stays usable in towns and on main roads.
Travel eSIM vs a local Denmark SIM
A travel eSIM is the simplest option for most visitors. You install it before you land, it activates on arrival, and there is no Danish ID or address required. All six providers here sell data-only plans that run on one or more of the four Danish networks, with 5G where available.
A local prepaid SIM can cost less for longer stays. Danish MVNOs such as CBB, Lebara, and Oister sell cheap monthly bundles on the national networks, and physical SIMs are stocked in supermarkets and kiosks. The catch is that some plans expect a Danish payment card or MitID login and often need an in-person purchase, and voice and SMS come included, which travel eSIMs usually skip.
Quick rule: Under three weeks, use a travel eSIM; for longer or data-heavy stays, price up a local MVNO bundle.
Denmark's networks are TDC Net (YouSee/Nuuday), Telenor, Telia and 3, and EU membership means an EU or EEA SIM roams there at domestic rates under Roam Like At Home, with budget brands CBB and Oister running on the national networks.
How a Denmark travel eSIM works
A travel eSIM replaces expensive roaming with a cheap local data plan you activate in seconds. There is no plastic SIM and no airport queue. Roaming with your home carrier can run 6 to 12 dollars a day, so a week easily tops 50 to 80 dollars for service you already pay for at home.
Three things to get right:
- Check your phone supports eSIM before you buy.
- Install the eSIM at home over WiFi, but wait to activate it until you land, because the validity period usually starts on activation.
- Keep your physical SIM in the phone for calls and texts on your normal number.
How we rank Denmark eSIMs
Every plan on this page is sorted by real price per GB (total price divided by included data, normalised to USD), so a cheap-looking 1 GB plan cannot outrank a better-value 10 GB one. We refresh prices daily and only list providers with a track record of activating on arrival. We earn a small affiliate commission when you buy through our links. It funds the price tracking and never changes the order you see.
Denmark travel eSIM FAQ
Which network does each eSIM use in Denmark?
Ubigi publicly lists its Danish partners as 3 (Hi3G), Nuuday (part of TDC Net, sold under the YouSee brand), and Telia. The other five providers do not publish their Danish host network. Airalo's Teledansk plan is widely reported to run on Telenor, but Airalo does not confirm this officially. Because all four Danish networks deliver strong nationwide coverage, the practical difference for a traveler is small.
Does a Denmark eSIM work in Greenland or the Faroe Islands?
No. Both are Danish territories but sit outside the EU and outside standard Denmark eSIM coverage. Greenland uses Tusass (formerly TELE Greenland) and the Faroe Islands use Faroese Telecom and Hey. You need a separate eSIM or local SIM for either destination.
Is the unlimited data really unlimited?
No provider offers uncapped full-speed data. Saily gives 5 GB per day before dropping to 1024 kbps, Airalo's plans give 3 GB per day before 1 Mbps, and Nomad gives 2 GB per day before 1 Mbps. Ubigi's 30-day unlimited plan runs at full speed up to 60 GB and then 2 Mbps. GigSky sells only fixed-data and daily-tier plans with no unlimited option.
Will my phone roam onto a foreign network near the borders?
It can. Close to the Oresund Bridge to Sweden or along the German land border, a handset can latch onto a Swedish or German mast. If your plan only covers Denmark, set network selection to manual and choose a Danish operator to avoid roaming charges or a coverage gap.
Can I use a Denmark eSIM elsewhere in Europe?
Denmark is in the EU, so travelers on an EU or EEA local SIM get Roam Like At Home at domestic rates. For eSIM buyers, a regional Europe plan, offered by all six providers here, covers Denmark plus the rest of the EU at one price. That is usually better value if your trip crosses borders.
Should I buy a local Danish SIM instead?
For a short visit a travel eSIM is simpler because it installs before arrival with no ID registration. Local options such as CBB, Lebara, and Oister run on the Danish networks and can be cheaper for long stays. They usually require a Danish payment method or an in-store purchase, so they suit residents and long-term visitors more than short trips.
