Getting online in Greenland
Most international arrivals land at Nuuk Airport (GOH) and Kangerlussuaq (SFJ). Install your Greenland eSIM on Wi-Fi before you fly and it connects as you taxi to the gate, so maps and messages work before you reach passport control.
Getting around usually means local flights and boats (there are no roads between towns). Your eSIM works across the country, including Nuuk, Ilulissat and Kangerlussuaq, wherever partner networks reach.
The main language is Greenlandic and Danish, so a camera-translate app is worth having on mobile data. Prices are in Danish krone, and your bank's one-time codes still arrive on your home SIM.
Connectivity notes for Greenland
- Signal is limited to towns and settlements. Expect no coverage on the ice sheet or on boat trips between fjords.

Set up your eSIM for Greenland in three steps

eSIM vs local SIM vs roaming in Greenland
| Feature | Best for most tripsLinkPaLS eSIM | Local SIM card | Home roaming |
|---|---|---|---|
| Set up | At home, before you fly | On arrival, at a shop or kiosk | Already on |
| ID needed | None | Usually a passport | None |
| Your home number | Stays on | Removed while the SIM is out | Stays on |
| Cost | Fixed, paid once | Low, but only after arrival | Often the most expensive |
| Best for | Most travelers | Long stays with a local number | Very short emergency use |
Roaming is the easy option and usually the priciest. A local SIM is cheap but costs you an hour on arrival. The eSIM sits in between: set up at home, priced like local data.

Greenland eSIM questions
Still unsure? Email support@linkpals.store and a person replies.
Which eSIM is best for Greenland?
The best eSIM for Greenland covers your whole trip with enough data. For Greenland alone, pick a country plan; for several countries, a regional or global plan saves switching. Compare the current plans at the top of this page.
Does the eSIM work in Ilulissat and Kangerlussuaq?
Yes. Your Greenland eSIM covers Greenland wherever partner networks reach, including Nuuk, Ilulissat and Kangerlussuaq. Remote areas may drop to slower speeds or lose signal.
Will my eSIM work when I land at Nuuk Airport?
Yes. If you install it before your flight, it connects once you land and switch off airplane mode. Turn the line on and allow data roaming for it.
Can I buy an eSIM for Greenland before I travel?
Yes. Install it a few days ahead on home Wi-Fi and leave the line off. The validity period usually starts when the eSIM first connects in Greenland, not when you buy it.
Will WhatsApp keep working in Greenland?
Yes. WhatsApp stays linked to your home number on your physical SIM and uses your LinkPaLS data to send and receive.
Is an eSIM worth it for Greenland?
Yes, if your phone supports eSIM. You land with working data, skip the airport SIM counter, avoid roaming charges and keep your home number active.
Which networks does the eSIM use?
It connects to licensed local partner networks in Greenland.
Do I pay for the eSIM in Danish krone?
No. You pay LinkPaLS once, in US dollars, when you buy the plan. You'll only need Danish krone for spending once you're in Greenland.
