Where the inputs come from
Scores for Denmark use the published weighted formula: Coverage (25%), Pricing (25%), Network tier (20%), App features (15%), and Support access (15%). Each dimension receives a raw score from 1 to 5. The composite multiplies by 2 for a 0-10 display scale. Coverage and Pricing carry equal top weight because for travel eSIMs, network reach and cost matter most.
Country-specific adjustments for Denmark: Unlimited plan availability in Denmark adjusts the Pricing dimension to weight per-day unlimited rates alongside per-GB fixed rates. Widespread 5G in Denmark adds a 0.2-point uplift to the network-tier score for providers routing through 5G-capable partners. These calibrations keep scores comparable across the 185+ destinations in our database.

Denmark Network Landscape
Denmark has 2 mobile networks: TDC (5G), 3 (5G). TDC/Nuuday delivers the strongest coverage combination. All 5 providers route through these carriers.
Carrier Partnerships
Denmark operates 2 mobile networks: TDC (5G), 3 (5G). TDC/Nuuday serves as the primary routing partner for travel eSIMs in this market. All five ranked providers maintain routing agreements with TDC/Nuuday. Some providers additionally route through 3 as a fallback when TDC/Nuuday's signal weakens.
TDC/Nuuday publishes 5G across Denmark, and every ranked provider attaches to it rather than to a network of its own. Two carriers give Denmark travelers basic redundancy. 3 supplements TDC/Nuuday's coverage in areas where the primary signal is weak.
Carrier selection in Denmark is largely predetermined by TDC/Nuuday's dominant roaming agreements. Providers compete on plan structure, pricing, and service quality rather than network access. Coverage scores follow the published partner list rather than anything measured on the ground.
