Greenland travel data eSIM
What is a Greenland eSIM?
Greenland is a vast, sparsely populated territory where staying connected can be challenging. A Greenland eSIM gives you immediate mobile data access upon arrival, whether you are exploring the capital of Nuuk or the glacier fjords near Ilulissat. It ensures you have maps, translations, and communication tools ready from the moment you land, without needing to hunt for local SIM cards in remote settlements.
Your data connects to the TELE Greenland 4G network. This is the primary mobile operator serving the territory. The plan activates only when your device first connects to a local cell tower in Greenland. You can manage your data usage and check remaining balance through the app, ensuring you stay informed during your journey through the Arctic landscape.
Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Greenland
The eSIM connects your device to the TELE Greenland 4G network. As the main mobile provider in the territory, it serves populated areas and key settlements. Actual data availability depends entirely on the operator’s network presence at your specific location. Remote regions may have limited infrastructure, so checking local network maps before heading into the wilderness is prudent for any traveler.
5 plans are available for Greenland, from $14.90 up to $199.90. Every plan is data only, delivered by QR code, and starts counting when you connect on arrival.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Greenland eSIM use?
The plan connects to the TELE Greenland 4G network. This is the primary mobile provider in the territory. Your device will register on this network when you arrive, providing data access in areas where its infrastructure is present.
Does this eSIM work in Canada?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in Greenland. While Greenland shares a small border with Canada on Hans Island, the eSIM does not function there. For multi-country trips, consider regional plans that include neighboring territories.
Which plan size fits a trip to Nuuk and Ilulissat?
For a ten-day trip covering both cities, the 3GB / 30 days plan is a rough guide. If you use maps and streaming frequently, the 5GB / 30 days option may offer more comfort for your data needs.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
