SIM, eSIM and home internet in Denmark: 2026 guide
In short. Compare the regular monthly price after promotions, coverage at your address and the contract terms before choosing mobile and internet. Prices are provider examples checked on 9 November 2026.
How can you get mobile and home internet in Denmark?
You can choose a Danish mobile subscription with a physical SIM or a compatible eSIM, or use a prepaid option. Home broadband may be available through fibre, cable or wireless networks. Ask first whether your rental property or housing association already provides a shared connection, and confirm which services can actually be ordered at your address. If you are still looking for a home, read our guide to renting in Denmark.
There is no universal best network or national price. Compare your regular monthly charge, the price after promotions, contract terms and the network at places where you live and travel.
What are example mobile subscription prices in 2026?
OiSTER publicly advertises 60 GB of data, of which up to 30 GB can be used in the EU and UK, at DKK 49 per month for the first three months, followed by DKK 99 per month. Setup is listed as free for a new subscription. For a long stay, budget using the post-promotion amount.
Another operator, 3, lists Fri Tale with 20 GB for DKK 150 per month and 50 GB for DKK 190 per month, with separate 3LikeHome roaming allowances. These are specific provider examples, not an exhaustive comparison or independent ranking.

What is the difference between a SIM and an eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM profile issued to a compatible device by a mobile operator. Before choosing it, ask whether activation requires MitID, a customer app, a QR code or an in-person identity check. Not all data-only travel eSIM packages include a Danish telephone number, so they may not work for regular voice calls and SMS.
If you have just arrived in Denmark, contact the provider to confirm what identification it accepts if you do not yet have a CPR number or MitID. Activation and replacement fees can differ by provider.
How do you check mobile coverage?
The official Tjekditnet.dk service shows providers and broadband technologies by address. The mapped outdoor signal is not a guarantee of actual indoor reception: buildings, terrain, equipment and network congestion can all change performance.
Check both your home and workplace as well as routes, islands or rural areas where you expect to travel. An operator with attractive prices is not necessarily the most reliable one at your particular address.
How can you choose home broadband?
Check whether the building already has a collective internet agreement or includes service in rent. Search the address on Tjekditnet.dk for available providers and technologies. Compare the ordinary price after promotional months, speed, router, connection charges and notice period. Our guide to utility bills in Denmark shows how internet fits into your regular costs.
If you are switching providers or technologies, confirm who cancels the old service and when the new one begins, so that you avoid both downtime and paying for two contracts.

How long can a mobile or broadband contract bind you?
According to Forbrug.dk, mobile operators can bind you for at most six months, and after five months you can cancel with one month's notice. Some operators advertise no binding period at all. Review the notice period and the disclosed minimum cost. A low promotional price may be followed by a higher one, and setup or payment fees can make a plan more expensive.
Contracts ordered online normally carry a withdrawal right, but agreeing to start a service immediately can affect how it operates. Read the applicable terms before activating.

Can you keep your Danish phone number when switching?
Yes. Ask the new operator to move the number. Forbrug.dk advises against cancelling the old subscription yourself first, because the new provider both moves the number and cancels the old subscription. You may still pay the old provider during the notice period, typically around 30 days.
The number must be moved by the end of the next working day after the new provider has requested it, and the transfer can only happen once the new subscription has started. If you also need a Danish account for payments, see banks in Copenhagen.

Does your Danish plan include roaming abroad?
EU/EEA roaming rules generally apply to Sweden, Finland and Norway, with fair-use restrictions. Georgia is outside the EU/EEA roaming area. Some Danish carriers include additional destinations voluntarily, so always check the exact countries and data limit in your own package.
