Network coverage in Denmark
Local carriersDenmark has 2 eSIM-compatible carriers: TDC (5G) and 3 (5G). TDC is Denmark's national incumbent and leads in 5G coverage across Zealand, Funen, and the southern Danish islands including Bornholm. Three (Hi3G Denmark) provides competitive 5G in Copenhagen and Aarhus with strong urban performance. Your e-sim picks the stronger of the 2 networks at each location. Both carriers include EU roaming across Scandinavia and the broader EU.
Coverage analysisTDC 5G covers Copenhagen (all boroughs including Noerrebro, Vesterbro, Frederiksberg, and Christianshavn), Aarhus, Odense, and the E45 Jutland motorway corridor from Hamburg to Aalborg. Three delivers parallel 5G in Copenhagen city center and Aarhus. The island of Bornholm in the Baltic has TDC 4G throughout. Faroe Islands require a separate eSIM plan as they are not covered by Danish networks. Greenland also requires separate coverage and is not served by TDC or 3.
ActivationInstall your e-sim before landing at CPH (Copenhagen Airport Kastrup). Scan the QR code in Settings, then Mobile Data, then Add eSIM. TDC registers within 2 minutes. Copenhagen Metro lines M1, M2, M3, and the Cityringen all have 4G at underground stations. Tethering is active on all 7 plans. EU roaming covers Sweden, Norway (EEA), Germany, and the Netherlands at no extra cost.
Data usage tipsRejseplanen (Danish transit app) for Copenhagen Metro and DSB train schedules uses under 10 MB per day. MobilePay Danish payment app uses under 5 MB per transaction. Copenhagen Card digital pass for 80+ museums downloads 30 MB and uses near-zero data. Budget 500-700 MB per day in Copenhagen for maps, messaging, and social media. Streaming Danish Radio (DR) music uses 150 MB per hour on TDC 5G.

Scan the QR code from your provider before landing at CPH. Open Settings, tap Mobile Data, then Add eSIM, then scan. TDC activates within 2 minutes of arrival. Copenhagen Metro 4G works immediately underground. No store visit is needed. Tethering and EU roaming activate automatically. MobilePay works on the e-sim from the moment TDC registers.
How much data do I need in Denmark?+
A 4-day Copenhagen trip uses 3-4 GB: Rejseplanen, Copenhagen Card, and Instagram at about 700 MB per day. A week adding Aarhus and Odense by DSB train needs 5-7 GB. Remote workers at CPH digital nomad spaces should budget 10 GB or more per week at 1-2 GB per video call hour on TDC 5G.
Which networks do eSIMs use in Denmark?+
Denmark eSIMs connect to 2 carriers: TDC (5G) and 3 (5G). TDC covers all Danish islands including Bornholm and leads in national rural coverage. Three performs strongly in Copenhagen and Aarhus urban areas. Your e-sim picks the stronger signal automatically. Both carriers deliver 5G in central Copenhagen and key Jutland cities.
Does a Denmark eSIM cover the Faroe Islands?+
No. The Faroe Islands are a self-governing territory with their own operators (Faroese Telecom and Hey). Danish TDC and 3 do not cover the Faroes. A separate Faroe Islands eSIM plan or international roaming from your home carrier is required. Greenland similarly requires its own plan through Tusass. Confirm Faroe coverage with your provider before purchasing a Denmark e-sim.
Does a Denmark e-sim include EU roaming for Sweden and Norway?+
Yes. Denmark eSIM plans on TDC and 3 include EU roam-like-home rights for all EU countries. Sweden is EU, so your Denmark data works there at no extra charge. Norway is EEA (not EU) but participates in EU roaming rules, so Norway is also covered. Travelers taking the Oresund Bridge to Malmo or the ferry to Oslo can use Danish data without extra fees.
Does my phone support eSIM in Denmark?+
iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3a and newer, and Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer all support eSIM in Denmark. Your device must be carrier-unlocked. Dual-SIM eSIM models let you keep a home SIM active alongside the TDC or 3 Denmark e-sim. Confirm eSIM support in Settings, then General, then About before purchasing.
Can I use a Denmark eSIM for MobilePay?+
MobilePay, Denmark's dominant payment app, requires a Danish phone number for full setup. Tourists without a Danish number can use the MobilePay app in limited mode for some merchants. Your Denmark e-sim data connection enables all digital payments that require only internet, including Google Pay and Apple Pay at Danish terminals. MobilePay QR codes at markets and cafes work without a Danish number.
Can I top up my Denmark eSIM if I run out of data?+
All 7 Denmark eSIM plans support top-up through your provider's app. Purchase a data add-on and it activates on the same eSIM profile within minutes. No new QR scan is needed. Start with the 3 GB plan at $6.99 for a Copenhagen long weekend and top up to 5 GB if you extend to Helsingore (Kronborg Castle) or Skagen.
