Pros: Lowest price per GB, fast activation, Denmark coverage on TDC, 3. Cons: Newer brand, smaller community than Airalo.
Denmark 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 analysis
TDC and 3 (Tre) share Denmark's 5G backbone, with TDC holding stronger rural reach on the Jutland peninsula and 3 outperforming in Copenhagen's dense urban core. The S-tog commuter rail network around Copenhagen holds 4G in all tunnels and stations. The Oresund Bridge crossing to Malmo maintains unbroken 5G from TDC on the Danish side and hands off cleanly to Swedish networks mid-span.
Bornholm island in the Baltic has TDC 4G throughout, but the Faroe Islands and Greenland are separate territories with no TDC or 3 coverage.
Activation
Install 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 tips

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.

Denmark's 2 eSIM carrier networks 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, and confirm Faroe coverage with your provider before purchasing a Denmark e-sim.
Does a Denmark e-sim include EU roaming for Sweden and Norway?+
Denmark's 2 eSIM carrier networks 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.
