How long can a Danish mobile contract bind you?

Binding period and notice

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

A Danish consumer contract for a mobile plan may bind you for at most 6 months, and the notice period is included in those 6 months. The notice period may be at most one month plus the current month. With a one-month notice period you must therefore give notice no later than 5 months after you signed, if you want to leave right after the 6 months. After the binding period you can end the contract at any time, subject to the notice period. If you have paid in advance, the operator must refund the unused part automatically.

Practical info

Why

  1. The binding period is at most 6 months for consumers.
  2. Notice is at most one month plus the current month.
  3. Prepaid amounts are refunded in proportion.

Details

Small businesses can be bound for up to 24 months unless they actively waive that limit.

Tip

Write the last date for notice in your calendar on the day you sign, so you do not miss the end of the binding period.

What may differ

Prices and terms of each plan are set by the operator, so read the contract before you sign.

Common misconception

Many people think a Danish phone plan can lock them in for one or two years.

What actually happens

For consumers the limit is 6 months, notice included.
