How does Simbye eSIM work for Denmark?
Buy before you leave
You get the eSIM by email: a link to tap and a QR code to scan. Set it up calmly at home on Wi-Fi – you do not need a Danish network for that yet. Validity does not start at purchase, so you can order weeks ahead.
Arrive in Denmark
Whether you land at Copenhagen Kastrup, Billund, Aarhus, Aalborg or Rønne on Bornholm, cross the border at Padborg, or come in on the ferry from Puttgarden to Rødby: switch data roaming on after you arrive. Your phone finds the Danish network by itself, usually within a minute or two.
Get going
Validity starts with the first connection to a Danish network. Hotspot is allowed, so you can share with a tablet, a laptop or your travel companions' phones. Running low? Top up online – the eSIM stays in your phone.
Check Device Compatibility
Make sure your device supports eSIM before purchasing
Which networks will you be on in Denmark?
Your phone picks between TDC, Telenor and Telia on its own – there is nothing to set up.
The Simbye eSIM uses 4 networks in Denmark: TDC/nuuday · Telenor · Telia · 3.

The eSIM is not tied to one operator. After you land, your phone connects automatically to an available Danish network: TDC, run by nuuday, has its own, and Telenor and Telia have shared one for years. For you that simply means there is a fallback – if the signal drops, your phone looks for the next available network on its own. You never pick a carrier and you never type in settings. The only thing that matters is leaving data roaming switched on: the eSIM is a guest on a Danish network, and that is exactly what the switch is for.
In Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, Aalborg, Esbjerg, Roskilde and Helsingør you have coverage essentially everywhere, almost continuous 4G in the cities and 5G across large parts of them. The holiday regions are well served too: the North Sea coast around Blåvand, Henne Strand, Søndervig and Hvide Sande, the Ringkøbing Fjord, Rømø and Fanø, Djursland and the Legoland area near Billund, Skagen at the northern tip, Møns Klint, Marielyst on Falster, the Limfjord and the island of Bornholm. It gets thin in some dune hollows and woodland on the west coast, on very small islands and out at sea: on the ferries across the Kattegat or over to Bornholm the connection can drop out for long stretches. Holiday houses often have slow Wi-Fi or none at all – there the mobile network is usually the faster line.
eSIM or a local SIM card in Denmark?
In Denmark the eSIM saves you the hunt: you land connected, while a local card means finding a counter — easy at Kastrup, thin in Billund or Aalborg — and some providers now ask for a MitID only residents hold.
| Feature |  Simbye eSIM |
Local SIM card |
|---|---|---|
| Ready before departure | Buy online, scan the QR code at home on Wi-Fi – validity only starts in Denmark | Only after you land – you hunt for a counter at the airport or a 7-Eleven |
| ID or registration | Not required | Some Danish providers now ask you to register via MitID – residents only |
| Price and currency | Fixed price, paid before you leave | Danish kroner at the till, plus exchange rate and possible card fees |
| At the airport | Nothing to sort out – switch data roaming on and you usually have signal within a minute or two | Copenhagen Kastrup has kiosks; Billund, Aarhus and Aalborg offer far less choice |
| Time it takes | A few minutes, once | Getting there, queueing, activating – easily an hour of your first holiday day |
| Phone number | None, this is a data-only plan | A Danish number is usually included, but often tied to registration |
| Topping up | Online any time, the same eSIM stays in your phone | Buy a voucher code, menus often in Danish only |
| Second line | Runs alongside your usual number, so home can still reach you | You swap the card out or carry a second phone |
For most travelers the eSIM is the simpler choice: set up before departure, no queuing on arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions about Denmark eSIM
Data, calls, real phone numbers, top-ups and setup — everything you need to know before you buy a Simbye eSIM.
You buy and set up an eSIM for Denmark online, installing it at home on Wi-Fi by scanning a QR code – a few minutes, once. No contract, no shop visit, no registration. Because validity only starts with your first connection in Denmark, you can order well before departure.
No, you don't get a Danish phone number. This is a data-only plan with no number, so calls and texts over the network are not included. Keep that in mind when an app wants to send you a confirmation code by SMS during sign-up – you need your usual number for that. WhatsApp, Signal, FaceTime and video calls work normally over data. Keep your usual SIM in the phone and people can still reach you on your old number.
No, it doesn't work in Sweden, Germany or beyond — Denmark only. Cross the Øresund Bridge and you are in Malmö, Sweden, within minutes; take the ferry towards Puttgarden and you end up in German waters. The Faroe Islands and Greenland belong to the Kingdom of Denmark but have their own operators and their own country codes, and are not included. The fast Bornholm ferry from Ystad runs from Sweden – on Bornholm itself the eSIM works again.
No, you don't have to register or show ID with this eSIM. Denmark still has no legal registration requirement for prepaid SIMs; proposals to introduce one have not passed. Some Danish providers have started asking for MitID, the Danish digital ID, of their own accord – and visitors cannot get MitID.
Your phone decides on the spot which network you'll be on in Denmark: TDC or the shared Telenor/Telia network. Telenor and Telia have shared one radio network in Denmark for years, TDC runs its own. You do not choose anything.
How much data you can get for Denmark ranges from 1 GB up to 20 GB, with unlimited options as well, over 7 to 30 days. If the data runs out you top up online: the eSIM stays in your phone, there is nothing to reinstall, and there is no contract and nothing to cancel.
Nothing is blocked in Denmark in general — the country does not filter the internet. By court order, though, authorities have providers block individual domains – mainly gambling sites without a Danish licence and piracy sites; the list is extended regularly. Maps, banking, messengers, streaming and everything travellers normally use are unaffected.
An eSIM is available in Denmark as a data plan on local partner networks. An eSIM for Denmark is a digital SIM card built into your phone. Your phone connects through local partner networks exactly like a Danish SIM card would, from Copenhagen to Jutland and the islands. You only need an unlocked phone that supports eSIM. The profile goes onto your device before you travel and connects on its own once you arrive.
An eSIM for Denmark starts at 1,95€, with the final price depending on data and days — the table above lists every Denmark plan with its current amount. Small bundles for a short city break cost the least, longer plans give you more gigabytes overall. You pay once, no contract.
The eSIM that's best for Denmark rarely comes down to coverage: TDC, Telenor and Telia together reach almost everywhere, cities and the North Sea coast included. What actually matters is how much data you use, how many days you stay, and whether you need a Danish number. This plan is data only, so it suits maps, messaging, photos and hotspot rather than calls or SMS.
