When planning your Danish adventure, understanding the ins and outs of roaming charges can save you from unexpected costs and keep you connected. Let's dive into the world of roaming in Denmark and explore how you can stay connected efficiently and affordably.

Are There Roaming Charges in Denmark?

Yes, roaming charges can apply in Denmark, but the situation has improved significantly for EU residents in recent years. Thanks to the "Roam Like at Home" initiative, EU citizens can use their domestic mobile plans in Denmark without additional charges. However, for visitors from outside the EU, roaming fees can still be a concern. It's essential to check with your home network provider about their specific roaming policies and rates for Denmark before you travel.

When Do Roaming Charges Apply in Denmark?

Roaming charges typically kick in when you're using a non-Danish SIM card in Denmark. For EU residents, these charges generally don't apply unless you exceed your plan's fair use policy. Non-EU visitors may face roaming charges as soon as their phone connects to a Danish network. These charges can cover calls, texts, and data usage. It's worth noting that even if you're not actively using your phone, background data usage can sometimes trigger unexpected charges.
