Data plans
Choose your gigabytes. Best value if you know roughly what you use.

Unlimited plans
Never watch your data. Just pick how long your trip is.

Turning on roaming can cost $10 or more a day. A whole Greenland trip starts at $1.99.
See the plansWhy an eSIM for Greenland
Greenland is the world's largest island and its emptiest edge: a vast Arctic land, some four-fifths buried under an ice sheet second only to Antarctica's, where towns cling to the ice-free coast and there are no roads between them. It is the home of the Ilulissat Icefjord, where one of the planet's fastest glaciers calves cathedral-sized icebergs into Disko Bay, of the colourful wooden houses of Nuuk, of humpbacks feeding among the ice, dog sleds, and the green fire of the Northern Lights. Get an eSIM before you fly and land already online.
Greenland's coverage is a towns-and-settlements story: there is good signal where people live, and essentially none across the ice sheet and the wilderness between towns, because nothing is built there. You buy the data before you fly, pay from your crypto balance with no ID, and keep your home number on its own SIM for calls and codes.
- 4G in and around the towns and settlements like Nuuk and Ilulissat.
- Honest: essentially no coverage across the ice sheet and the wilderness between towns.
- Online on arrival at Nuuk or Ilulissat airports.
- Pay in crypto with no ID, and keep your home number.
Is a Greenland eSIM right for you?
Whoever you are travelling as, the setup is the same: buy, scan, connect. Here is what it means for you.
Greenland eSIM vs a local SIM vs roaming
Coverage is town-only on every option here, because there is nothing built between the towns. The difference is how you buy, whether you show ID, and how you pay. Here is how they compare.

Greenland has a single operator, Tusass, so coverage is the same on any plan. An eSIM is ready before you land and needs no shop. The wilderness gaps are geography, not the plan. Costs are rough guides, not quotes.
Coverage and networks in Greenland
Greenland has a single mobile operator, Tusass, so your eSIM connects to its network. Coverage reaches the towns and settlements along the coast, from Nuuk and Ilulissat to the smaller villages, with 4G, and there is essentially none across the ice sheet, the fjords, and the wilderness between them, where no masts are built.
Expect strong eSIM coverage in Nuuk, Ilulissat, Sisimiut, with data across the rest of Greenland. Signal follows the local network, so it is strongest in cities and along main routes.
Your eSIM roams on a major local network:
Coverage by area
Usable 4G across the capital and the bigger towns like Sisimiut and Qaqortoq, with good signal in the built-up areas. This is where most of your data gets used.
Reliable in and around the coastal villages and the tourism hubs like Ilulissat and Tasiilaq, thinning at the very edges of town.
Essentially no coverage across the ice cap, the fjords, and the country between towns, on the single network. Download offline maps and plan for offline travel.
How much data do you need in Greenland?
Whether your Greenland trip is 7 days, 2 weeks, or a month, pick the data size to match. Not sure? Slide your trip length below and we will suggest a plan.
A Greenland trip leans on maps in the towns, flight and boat times, tour and excursion bookings, and a stream of iceberg and aurora photos to the cloud. Greenlandic and Danish are the languages, but English is common in tourism. For a one to two week trip, 5 GB or so suits most people, since much of your time is spent offline in the wilderness. You can top up any time.
Estimate your data for Greenland
Social, photos, some video
An estimate to guide you, not a limit. Wi-Fi at your hotel covers a lot, and you can top up any time, so it is fine to start smaller.
Typical usage per hour
Using an eSIM in Greenland's top cities
One Greenland eSIM covers all of these. Here is what to expect, city by city.
eSIM in Nuuk
4G across the small, colourful capital, from the old harbour and the Church of Our Saviour to the National Museum. A well-connected base before you head out to the ice and the fjords.
eSIM in Ilulissat
Good coverage in the town beside the UNESCO icefjord, where the glacier calves giant icebergs into Disko Bay. Handy for boat tours and flights, though signal fades out on the water.
eSIM in Kangerlussuaq
Reliable around the former air hub near the ice sheet, a common gateway and the start of trips onto the ice. Signal is a town affair, with none out on the ice cap itself.
Yes, you can call and text in Greenland
Your eSIM is internet. So every calling and messaging app works, just like at home. No new apps to learn, nothing to set up.
Message anyone
WhatsApp, Messenger, Signal all run over your data.
Call home for free
Voice and video on WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Messenger, no call charges.
Need a real number?
A data eSIM has no number of its own. Add a virtual number for codes and a local line.

eSIM in Greenland: FAQ
Does my phone support eSIM?+
Most phones from the last few years do, including recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel models.
How do I pay?+
In crypto only: Bitcoin, Monero, USDT, USDC, Solana, and more.
When does my plan start?+
Your plan validity begins when you install and activate the eSIM, not when you buy it.
Will an eSIM work in Greenland?+
Yes, as long as your phone supports eSIM and is carrier unlocked. The eSIM connects to a local network in Greenland and gives you data the moment you arrive.
How much data do I need in Greenland?+
It depends on what you do. Maps and messaging use very little, while video and hotspotting use much more. For a typical one to two week trip, 3 to 5 GB suits most travelers, and you can top up any time.
Can I keep my phone number in Greenland?+
Yes. Your home number stays on your physical SIM for calls and codes, while the eSIM carries local data. Both work at once on a dual-SIM phone.
Can I buy my eSIM before I travel?+
Yes, and you should. Buy and install it before you fly, then switch the line on when you land in Greenland. Your plan's days only start counting when you activate it, not when you buy.
Does the plan expire?+
Each plan runs for a set number of days once you activate it, shown on the plan. Any balance you have not spent stays on your account for your next trip, so nothing is wasted.
Can I use my eSIM as a personal hotspot?+
On most plans, yes, so you can share your connection with a laptop or a friend. Tethering uses more data, so pick a larger plan if you rely on it.
Will an eSIM work out among the icebergs or on the ice sheet?+
No. Greenland's coverage reaches the towns and settlements only, so out on Disko Bay among the bergs, on the fjords, or on the ice cap there is essentially no signal on any network. Use it in town for logistics, and download offline maps for the trips out.
Is coverage good in the towns?+
Yes. Nuuk, Ilulissat, and the other towns have usable 4G for maps, tour bookings, and flight changes. A ready-to-go eSIM means you are online the moment you land, which matters when so much of the trip is spent offline in the wild.
Do I need ID to get connected in Greenland?+
Not with an eSIM. Local SIMs from Tusass are sold in town and sometimes ask for registration. An eSIM sidesteps that, with no ID and payment in crypto, so you are online the moment you land at Nuuk or Ilulissat.
Is there an unlimited data plan for Greenland?+
Yes, an Unlimited 30-day plan, good for a longer stay in the towns. Sized plans are the cheaper pick, and since much of your trip is offline in the wilderness, many people find a smaller plan goes a long way. You can top up any time.
