The best eSIM for Greenland in 2026. Six eSIM brands checked for Greenland on the same day: Airalo is cheapest up to 15 days, Ringo Light the only unlimited month, and which to buy.
Prices read on 28 September 2026. Six travel eSIMs get most of the traffic for this search, and five of them sell a Greenland plan: Airalo, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light. We checked all six on the same day, for a few days in Nuuk, a week around Disko Bay, two weeks and a month, and read the fine print. Greenland is outside the EU and outside a Denmark plan, and data costs more here than almost anywhere. In Greenland we are far from the cheapest, and this page says plainly who is.
Ringo Light: The only unlimited plan for a full month, with no speed cap and one payment. Unlimited data for 2 weeks at $308.99 or 30 days at $615.99, one payment each, nothing renews. It is expensive: Airalo sells 15 days of unlimited at $99, $209.99 less than our 2 weeks, and 20 GB for 30 days at $49.
Airalo: Cheapest unlimited up to 15 days, and the cheapest data at every size. Unlimited from 3 days at $24 to 15 days at $99, 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. 10 GB for 30 days at $32 and 20 GB at $49, on TELE Greenland, now Tusass.
Saily: Cheapest 1 GB for a week. 1 GB for 7 days at $7.99, its only Greenland plan. Its listing is from May.
Nomad: A month of data on Tusass, named. 10 GB for 30 days at $41 and 20 GB at $75, on Tusass. Airalo sells the same sizes for less.

Airalo sells unlimited data for Greenland from 3 days at $24 to a week at $45, 10 days at $59 and 15 days at $99. Ringo Light charges $308.99 for 2 weeks and $615.99 for 30 days, one payment each, nothing renews. For two weeks, Airalo is $209.99 cheaper. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Ringo Light has no speed cap: the 2 weeks starts with 10 GB and the 30 days with 20 GB, and when you have used 80% we add 10 GB once and charge the $308.99 top-up. A heavy two weeks with us costs $617.98 and a heavy month $924.98.
For a month, no rival sells unlimited. Two Airalo 15-day plans back to back cost $198, and Airalo's 20 GB for 30 days costs $49. Unless you need more than 20 GB and cannot stop to buy a second plan, both are the better buy. For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan.
Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark but not of the European Union. EU roaming rules do not apply, a Danish SIM does not roam there for free, and a Denmark or Europe eSIM plan does not cover it. You need a plan sold for Greenland.
Greenland has one mobile network, Tusass, once called TELE Greenland. Airalo and Nomad both ride it. It covers the towns and most settlements. There are no roads between towns, and away from them, on the ice sheet, on long hikes and out on the fjords, expect no signal at all. Save offline maps before you leave town.
The country's internet runs over subsea cables and, for some towns, satellite links. Data costs more here than almost anywhere, for every brand, and hotel Wi-Fi is often slow or sold by the hour.
Airalo, $32 for 10 GB. For 30 days, or $29 for 15 days, and 20 GB for 30 days at $49, on TELE Greenland. Small sizes too: 1 GB for 3 days at $7, 5 GB for 7 days at $17. The cheapest data for Greenland at every size we checked. The app is needed.
Nomad, $41 for 10 GB. 20 GB for 30 days at $75, 1 GB for 7 days at $8, on Tusass.
Ubigi, $49 for 10 GB. For 30 days, and 1 GB for 7 days at $12. No 20 GB Greenland plan on its listing.
Saily, $7.99 for 1 GB. For 7 days, its only Greenland plan. Its listing is from May; saily.com would not load for us.
Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks starts with 10 GB for $308.99 and our 30 days with 20 GB for $615.99. For a fixed amount of data, Airalo, Nomad and Ubigi are all far cheaper in Greenland. Buy Ringo Light only if you want a month of unlimited with no speed cap and are happy to pay for it.
Ringo Light is our own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Greenland it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $308.99, starting with 10 GB, and 30 days at $615.99, starting with 20 GB. Each adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged at $308.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
In Greenland our prices are high. Airalo's 15 days of unlimited at $99, or 20 GB for 30 days at $49, is the better buy for most visitors. None of our regional trips covers Greenland, so there is no cheaper Ringo Light route in.
The card to buy it is just below this article.
A few days in Nuuk. Airalo, 1 GB for 3 days at $7, or unlimited for 3 days at $24. Ringo Light sells no 3 days.

You need your own number to keep ringing. None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.
What to do in Greenland, and what your phone needs for it. Eight places most first trips include, from Nuuk and Sisimiut on the west coast to the Ilulissat Icefjord, Uummannaq in the north, Qaqortoq in the south and Tasiilaq in the east, with the one thing your data does for you at each. No roads join the towns: you move by plane, helicopter and boat, and the signal stops where the town ends.
Nuuk and the old harbour, Nuuk, west coast. The capital sits on a peninsula under the peak of Sermitsiaq, with the old colonial harbour, the cathedral and the Greenland National Museum a short walk apart. Summer brings the long light; winter the northern lights. Nuuk has city buses and taxis. A maps app shows the stops, and cards work in most shops; the currency is the Danish krone.
The Ilulissat Icefjord, Ilulissat, Disko Bay. Icebergs from the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier fill the fjord at the edge of town, listed by UNESCO. A boardwalk and marked trails lead from town to the viewpoints over the ice. Signal is good in town and fades along the trails. Download the offline map before the longer routes.
Icebergs and whales in Disko Bay, Disko Bay, west coast. Boats leave Ilulissat among the icebergs, and humpback whales feed in the bay in summer. A ferry crosses to Qeqertarsuaq on Disko Island. Boat and ferry times change with the ice and the weather. Keep your data on for messages from the operator on the day.
The ice sheet at Kangerlussuaq, Kangerlussuaq, west Greenland. A gravel road runs from the old air base at Kangerlussuaq towards the edge of the ice sheet, and tours take you out onto the ice. The Russell Glacier is on the way. There is no signal on the ice. Save the offline map and your tour's contact details before you set off.
Tasiilaq, Ammassalik Island, east coast. The largest town in East Greenland, ringed by sharp mountains, reached by helicopter or boat from the airport at Kulusuk. The walk up the Valley of Flowers starts at the edge of town. Flights and helicopters wait on the weather. Keep the airline's messages coming to your phone and check the day before.
Qaqortoq, South Greenland. The largest town in the south, with coloured houses above the harbour and faces and figures carved into the rocks around town by the Stone and Man project. The Norse church ruin at Hvalsey is a boat trip away. Outside town the signal drops fast. Book the boat to Hvalsey ahead and keep the skipper's number on your phone.
Uummannaq, Uummannaq Fjord, north of Disko Bay. A small town on an island beneath a red, heart-shaped mountain, far north of the Arctic Circle. Dog sleds run on the sea ice in late winter and spring. You reach it by helicopter from Qaarsut. Check the flight status on your phone before you leave for the heliport.
Sisimiut, West coast, north of the Arctic Circle. Greenland's second town, with old wooden houses around the harbour museum and mountains behind. The Arctic Circle Trail ends here after about 160 kilometres from Kangerlussuaq. The trail has no signal for days. Carry the offline map and a charged power bank, and tell someone your plan.
We priced Airalo, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Greenland on 28 September 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.
We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.
Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.
Left out: Holafly, its Greenland page says the destination is currently unavailable, so there is nothing to buy or compare.
Left out: Maya Mobile, we compared the brands that get most of the traffic for this search and did not price Maya Mobile on the day.

Greenland has one mobile network, Tusass, once called TELE Greenland. Airalo and Nomad both name it. It covers the towns and most settlements, with no signal on the ice sheet, on long hikes or out on the fjords between towns.
Airalo gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps, for up to 15 days. Saily, Nomad and Ubigi sell fixed amounts only. Ringo Light has no speed cap: it starts with 10 or 20 GB and adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged at $308.99.
No. Greenland belongs to the Kingdom of Denmark but is outside the European Union, so EU roaming rules do not apply and a Denmark or Europe plan does not cover it. Many home plans charge high roaming rates there. Buy a plan sold for Greenland before you fly.
