Greenland travel data guide
A Greenland eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Greenland that you install before you fly. Plans in Greenland run on TELE Greenland, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 16 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $13.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Greenland, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Greenland from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Greenland FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Greenland?
It connects wherever TELE Greenland has signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Greenland, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 15 days from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Greenland?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Which operator does the Greenland eSIM use?
The Greenland eSIM uses TELE Greenland. It is the only operator on these plans and is listed as 4G in our catalogue. Plans are labelled 3G/4G or 4G/5G, so check the label on the one you choose.
Will the Greenland eSIM work outside the towns?
We can't promise signal outside the towns in Greenland, and it would be wrong to say otherwise. The eSIM uses TELE Greenland alone, so it has signal wherever that network does and nowhere else. Prepare offline maps for any time away from settlements.
Is 1 GB enough for a week in Greenland?
1 GB over 7 days is enough for a week in Greenland only for light use such as messaging, email and checking maps. Photo backups and video will use it within a day or two. For those, a 7 day unlimited plan with 1 GB or 2 GB of full speed data per day is the better choice.
Do the days start when I buy the Greenland plan?
No, the days on a Greenland plan start when the eSIM first connects to the network there. Buying and installing early is safe. A 15 day plan gives 15 days from that first connection, whatever the purchase date was.
Can I install the eSIM on the ship or at the hotel?
You can install the Greenland eSIM anywhere you have a working internet connection, but home WiFi before departure is the safest place. Ship and hotel WiFi can be slow or paid. The QR code stays in your account if you need it again.
Can I use hotspot in Greenland?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Greenland plans. Whatever a second device uses is taken from your allowance, and on unlimited plans it counts toward the 1 GB or 2 GB of full speed data for the day.
What should I do if I have no signal after arriving in Greenland?
Check that the eSIM line is on, that it is selected for mobile data, and that data roaming is enabled for it. Then restart the phone. If you are away from a settlement, there may simply be no TELE Greenland signal there. Otherwise, email support, which answers seven days a week.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
