Mobile networks in Greenland

Good to know in Greenland

• Coverage

  Settlements, not wilderness

  Tusass runs Greenland's mobile network, and Visit Greenland says it reaches almost all settlements on 4G and 5G. Out in the heart of the wilderness, though, coverage is rare, so for remote trips plan on an Iridium satellite phone or a satellite tracker that can send a help signal.

• Roaming

  Danish, but not EU

  Greenland belongs to the Kingdom of Denmark, yet it is an overseas territory that is neither part of EU territory nor the single market. A Danish or other European plan that roams freely in Copenhagen can treat Nuuk very differently, so check yours before you go.

• Outdoors

  Tell the police first

  Before heading out of town, Visit Greenland advises telling the police or someone else where you're going, and bringing a GPS device that can send emergency calls. If you get lost in the backcountry, it says emergency calls should go out on VHF channel 16.

• Emergencies
  112Any emergency

  Canada's travel advice lists 112 and warns that emergency services may not be able to respond in isolated areas, and that rescues may be impossible in winter or bad weather.
