Denmark – part of Scandivania, is known for the Vikings, Lego, and being a cold travel destination.
And I can tell you it can be cold – I lived there for 3.5 years.
But it is also a popular destination, especially for travelers from East Asia who are OBSESSED about Scandinavia.
While there is a lot you can do in Denmark, such as exploring Nyhavn, enjoy rides in the Tivoli Gardens, or see plenty of castles, like Rosenborg Castle, do not waste your time visiting the Little Mermaid.
Just like Manneke Pis in Belgium is a disappointment, the Little Mermaid will be too – do not tell you I did not warn you 😜.
But there is something else I need to mention about Denmark – it is an expensive country.
Not just for European standards – just expensive overall.
And it would be a shame if you had to spend even more money to stay online in Denmark by roaming internationally there – roaming can be expensive.
While almost everything is crazy expensive in Denmark, the cost of (mobile) internet is low, especially for the high quality of service you get.
But how much do Danish SIM cards cost?
You can get a Danish SIM card for 29 DKK (4.30 USD) from Lycamobile or 49 DKK (7.25 USD) from Lebara from resellers, such as grocery stores, 7-Elevens & electronic shops. SIM cards are also available at Copenhagen International Airport (CPH).
Those are reasonable prices, huh? Especially for an expensive country.
Just wait until you see how GENEROUS the data allowances are in Denmark. They are almost unlimited.
In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Denmark. Let's get started.

Table of Contents
Can You Buy a SIM Card in Denmark?
Anyone living in or visiting Denmark can buy a Danish SIM card from two Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) Lebara Denmark & Lycamobile without restrictions.
Be aware that you need a phone that supports the frequencies used in the country (preferably all of them to have the most optimal experience while in Denmark).
And your phone should be unlocked (SIM-lock-free).
Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Denmark?
You can buy a Danish SIM card in various stores, including grocery stores, electronic stores & convenience stores for Lebara and Lycamobile SIM cards. The four Main Operators (TDC/YouSee, Telia, Telenor & 3) no longer sell prepaid SIM cards. Copenhagen International Airport has SIM cards too.
You can expect to pay the following for Danish SIM cards:
- Lebara Denmark: 49 DKK
- Lycamobile Denmark: 29 DKK
For up-to-date DKK:your currency (let's say EUR) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.
Can You Use Your Phone in Denmark?
Denmark uses GSM technology for mobile communications. CDMA phones will not work in Denmark. If your phone has a SIM card slot, then it supports GSMA (99% of the phones do support GSM nowadays).
Traditional European frequencies are used in Denmark, which are mostly used in ITU Regions 1 and 3 (Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe & Oceania).
The Americas (North-, Central– & South America + the Caribbean – ITU Region 2) use American Frequencies, which differ from the European ones.
If you bought your phone in Africa, Asia, Europe, or Oceania (ITU Regions 1 and 3), you should not experience any issues with using your phone in Denmark.
If you purchased your phone in the Americas (ITU Region 2) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, then there is a possibility you cannot use your phone when in Denmark or can only use slower networks (3G or 2G).
If you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support, you can use your phone in Denmark (to some extent) – also on 4G/LTE.
Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Denmark
Denmark has four mobile operators but only two Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) offering prepaid services easily accessible to travelers:
- TDC/YouSee
- Telenor Denmark
- Telia Denmark
- 3 Denmark
- Lebara Denmark (Telenor Denmark & Telia Denmark MVNO)
- Lycamobile Denmark (Telenor Denmark & Telia Denmark MVNO)
The following frequencies are used in Denmark:
- 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
- 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
- 5G NR: 3500 MHz (n78)
You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.
To check whether your phone will work in Denmark, check out this page by Kimovil or this one by Will My Phone Work (outdated, unfortunately, but extremely user-friendly – useful for phones launched in or before 2019. It does not check for 5G NR compatibility).
Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above).
If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.
A Note about Danish Prepaid SIM Cards
Since 2015/2016, the four Main Operators (TDC/YouSee, Telia Denmark, Telenor Denmark & 3 Denmark) slowly ceased their prepaid operators and solely focused on subscribers/postpaid customers.
As a result, those wanting to use prepaid SIM cards have to deal with the country's Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs).
In the past, MVNO users were deprioritized on the networks of the Main Networks, which resulted in slower speeds and worse coverage than being a customer of the Main Operators directly.
This practice seems to have been ended in 2020.
Besides Lebara Denmark and Lycamobile Denmark, there are a few other prepaid MVNOs.
Those are Nettalk (by Netto) and OK Mobile (by OK gas stations). OiSTER is more of a hybrid MVNO.
These three MVNOs require activation and registration with a Danish personal number called CPR-number (Det Centrale Personregister-nummer).
As a traveler, you will not get such a number.
Therefore, avoid getting any other Danish SIM card than Lebara Denmark and Lycamobile Denmark because you will not be able to activate it without a CPR-number.
Lebara Denmark and Lycamobile Denmark do not require registration with a CPR-number, which is why they are the only two options to be covered in this guide.
In the previous version of this guide, OiSTER was still covered and recommended.
Since somewhere in 2020, it also required activation with a CPR-number.
Luckily, you are not missing out because it is a 3 Denmark MVNO – 3 Denmark has the worst network in Denmark.
And I am speaking of experience – I was a 3 Denmark customer for about three years. I should have switched to TDC/YouSee sooner.
Having no reception in the middle of Copenhagen was no rare occasion with 3 Denmark, unfortunately.
I hope it has improved its network, though.
Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming ;)
A Note about TT-Netværket
Telia Denmark and Telenor Denmark share their antennas, spectrum, towers & transmission through an infrastructure company called TT-Netværket – standing for The Telia & Telenor Network.
This partnership was established in 2012. Now, the two Main Operators share their 2G, 3G & 4G/LTE networks.
As of June 2021, TT-Netværket enabled 5G NR (sharing) as well.
As a result, network coverage and average speeds are roughly the same.
The two MVNOs offering prepaid services accessible to travelers, Lebara Denmark and Lycamobile Denmark, also have access to TT-Netværket.
Having access to this network gives Lebara Denmark and Lycamobile Denmark close to excellent nationwide coverage and stellar speeds.
Lebara Denmark is officially a Telenor Denmark MVNO. Lycamobile Denmark is formally a Telia Denmark MVNO.
As the agreements between the MVNOs and Main Operators are different, one MVNO could have faster speeds and better reception in some places than the other and the other way around.
5G NR in Denmark
Commercial 5G NR has been available in Denmark since September 2020. It is available on the TDC/YouSee, Telenor Denmark, Telia Denmark & 3 Denmark. Lebara Denmark and Lycamobile do not have access to 5G NR (yet).
Best SIM Card in Denmark
If you want to buy the best SIM card in Denmark, I recommend going with Lebara or Lycamobile. Both MVNOs use the networks of Telia and Telenor, which have extensive coverage and fast speeds. Consider Lebara for free international calls from Denmark to 60 countries. Lycamobile offers more choices in plans.
Best eSIM in Denmark
Unfortunately, none of the mobile operators offer eSIM to prepaid customers in Denmark yet.
However, you can also get a travel eSIM from various eSIM providers.
The list below is not exhaustive – many more providers have eSIMs for Denmark.
But these are the ones I have tried and had pleasant experiences with.
Moreover, they are reasonably priced, which I find very important (you will not see me recommending an eSIM I would not buy myself).
So here are the six best eSIMs for Denmark:
- Airalo's Teledansk Denmark eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (best value for money)
- Airalo's Eurolink Europe eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 100 GB (best value for money when also visiting other European countries) – read my ongoing Airalo Eurolink eSIM review too!
- Holafly Denmark eSIM with unlimited data for 5 to 90 days (truly unlimited data plans at premium prices)
- Nomad Denmark eSIM with 14 choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (switches to the best network, allowing for excellent reception at all times)
- Holafly Europe eSIM with unlimited data for 5 to 60 days (truly unlimited data plans when also visiting other European countries at premium prices)
- Nomad Europe eSIM with 13 choices between 1 GB and 40 GB (the best of both worlds in terms of pricing and performance)
Because this is the SIM card buying guide for Denmark, I will not spend too much time about travel eSIMs here and throughout this guide (but I will still do here and there).
If you want to learn more about the best eSIMs for Denmark, you better check out my Denmark eSIM buying guide.
It is as helpful and comprehensive as this guide but about eSIMs instead 😜.
SIM Card Registration in Denmark
SIM card registration using your passport information is not needed when buying a SIM card in Denmark.

EU Roaming in Denmark
Denmark is part of the European Union (EU).
Since June 2017, those with EU/EEA (European Economic Area) SIM cards can roam for free in other EU/EEA nations, including Denmark.
This means that, in the majority of cases, you do not need to purchase a Danish SIM card if you already have an EU/EEA SIM card because you can roam without additional costs.
However, conditions do apply. Mobile operators in some countries may impose a roaming Fair Use Policy (FUP).
In countries where local mobile data rates are extremely low (such as in the Baltics and the Nordics), mobile operators may still charge you for roaming in the EU/EEA.
Be sure to head over to the international roaming page to learn whether your mobile operator offers free roaming while in Denmark or if restrictions apply.
Roaming in the EU with Danish SIM Cards
Denmark and the Danish mobile operators have largely adopted the roam like at home regulations principles early on. However, some plans have an EU/EEA roaming cap.
Moreover, the standard Fair Use Policy applies where you should not be roaming over 50% of the time over a four-month period.
If you do so, EU roaming rates will apply.
You are then better off buying local prepaid SIM cards in other EU nations.
Denmark Mobile Speeds, Mobile Internet Prices & Insights
Mobile data can be cheap in some European nations. In others, it is criminally expensive.
Luckily, there are not many countries in Europe that have crazy expensive mobile data rates.
But what about Denmark? Is mobile data expensive here?
Not at all.
The average price for 1 GB of data in Denmark is 0.79 USD, below the European average of 2.50 USD. The world average is 4.07 USD.
In fact, Denmark is one of the eight European countries where the average cost of 1 GB of data is less than 1 USD.
Moreover, it is also one of the 53 countries where the same applies.
Cable.co.uk split Europe into three territories: Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Baltics.
The Western European average cost of 1 GB of data, using Cable.co.uk's definition, is 2.66 USD, which is just slightly more than the overall European average.
Let's talk about mobile internet speeds. Is it fast in Denmark?
Insanely fast.
Denmark’s average mobile download speed is around 103 Mbps – one of the fastest in Europe.
Only Norway (173 Mbps), Cyprus (136 Mbps), Bulgaria (126 Mbps), Switzerland (116 Mbps) & Luxembourg (111 Mbps) have faster mobile download speeds than Denmark.
So yeah, mobile internet is fast here. And things have only improved over the year – especially after 5G NR was enabled.
So, which mobile operator is the fastest?
That would be TDC/YouSee, with a speed score of 91.19. Followed by Telenor Denmark (68.41), Telia Denmark (59.82) & 3 Denmark (48.04).
Which mobile operator has the best overall performance in Denmark?
That would be TDC/YouSee again. It has the best games, video, and voice app experience.
Telenor Denmark is the close second being the join winner for the games and voice app experience categories.
It also has the best 4G/LTE availability together with Telia Denmark (because they share networks).
Here you can see the 4G/LTE availability compared.
Here we have the 4G/LTE coverage experience scores – TDC/YouSee is truly the best, speaking of experience.
With reasonably priced SIM cards, blazing-fast mobile data speeds, nationwide coverage, and insanely low mobile data rates, you should have a smooth network experience in Denmark.
Currency in Denmark
For up-to-date DKK:your currency (let's say EUR – Euro) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.
Do note that the Danish Krone has been (somewhat) pegged to the Euro (EUR).
1 DKK = 0.13 EUR and 1 EUR = 7.45 DKK.
Although EUR is not an official currency in Denmark, it is accepted in many (large) stores (at acceptable exchange rates).
Even the (national-chain) grocery stores in the most remote towns you can think off will accept EUR.
However, you will always get your change back in DKK.
If your credit/debit card charges you foreign exchange fees, get yourself a Wise Borderless Account and Debit Card.
Their fees are MUCH lower than banks and credit card companies charge you (and Wise is transparent about their fees, unlike banks).
I have saved literal THOUSANDS of Australian Dollars and Euros, my main currencies, when using Wise abroad when traveling compared to my debit and credit cards.
