Pre-paid SIM card
Pre-paid SIM cards are still an option in Denmark. These are good and usually very cheap, due to the fact that you only pay for what you use.
Some providers in Denmark have a monthly fee to have this kind of service. But we have outlined the best options below in the nice box.
| | |
Call-time 0,48 DKK/minut | Call-time 0,20 DKK/minut | Call-time 5 hours call-time Unlimited calls Lyca to Lyca |
Data 40 DKK/GB | Data 0,014 DKK/MB | Data 6GB/month 2 GB EU Roaming Data |
SMS/MMS 0,49 DKK pr. piece | SMS/MMS 0,036 DKK pr. piece | SMS/MMS 120 SMS in DK Unlimited Texts Lyca to Lyca |
Sign up fee 0 DKK | Sign up fee 0 DKK | Sign up fee 0 DKK |
Monthly subscription 0 DKK | Monthly subscription 19 DKK | Monthly subscription 19 DKK |
Call charges 1,29 DKK pr. call | Call charges 0 DKK | Call charges 0 DKK |
Verify with MitID No | Verify with MitID Yes | Verify with MitID No |
These options are nice and easy, but the only thing to remember is, that with Oister you'll have to verify with MitID. And that is okay, if you are already settle in with CPR-nummer and all of that. But if you have just arrived, Lebara and LycaMobile might be the better option. LycaMobile you can even find in the airport.
Pre-paid Data SIM card
One last and very neat option is Airalo. This amazing app gives you the option of buying eSIMs for wherever you go - and also for Denmark.
You simply have to download the app, make sure you have a smartphone that is compatible for eSIM, and then chose the eSIM you want. For every country there are different packages.
It's an amazing app, very easy to use, and it's a good place to start when arriving in Denmark. You can always download the app, when connected to Wi-Fi lets say in the airport, and then you are good to go.
Lebara

They also offer cheaper packages, though with lower amounts of hours and data. Their current cheapest offer is 5 GB data and 5hours for 19 DKK/month.
But have in mind that they have limited amount of hours you can call to another country. In most of their packages this is limited to 10 hours/month.
You should always have an active subscription on one of their packages. If you don't, your data use will drain your credit fast, and if you are using automatic credit refills on your card, you will pay a lot of unnecessary fees! Thus, pay attention when you set up your subscription!

Oister
Oister is very well known in Denmark and has existed for many years.

Our recommendation! The best coverage and best customer service, for a great price. Get it here
What is a bit different with Oister, is that they can also offer you unlimited call-time and unlimited data for only 179 DKK/month. It is quite high for a phone subscription plan, but in case you do not have Wi-Fi at home, this could be a great option on how to save money. Just use your hotspot and you don't have to pay 300 DKK monthly for the internet!
Mobile data plan in Denmark with unlimited data?
In case you do not have a wifi yet and you are looking for a deal on unlimited 5G data to keep yourself connected, check out Oister. They have a package where you get unlimited data and unlimited calls for only 149DKK per month!
Conclusion
Lebara is our top recommendation to you, if you do not yet have a Mit-ID. They keep everything simple, they offer great service, a good product and their existing customers are very happy about what they get. They have a subscription that suits more or less everyone, and at very affordable prices.
Oister is a great option if you are already settled in Denmark. They cover all EU countries (including Czech, Slovakia, Poland and Romania) for only 29DKK (current promotion). They also offer unlimited data package for only 149DKK a month. Check it out!
It's also worth mentioning that LycaMobile seems like quite a good option when you are looking for the very cheapest SIM card in Denmark, that can also bring you value in the long term. However, their plans do not come with 5G connectivity, but only 4G.
However, you cannot beat the price 19DKK per month! And 5GBs are usually more than enough in a month.
But it is also important to mention that Lebara's coverage is not working in Slovakia and Czech Republic. In that case, you might want to pick out another option, from our list.
We hope that the above options helped you a bit when choosing a new phone service provider here in Denmark.
