Pros and cons

Pros

  • Sim only plans start at DKK 169 on rolling billing, so there is no long term lock in.

  • A multi line discount applies, which helps households holding several lines.
  • Support runs on phone and help centre, so a phone line sits behind most queries.
  • Telenor is the host network rather than a reseller, and offers 5G.

Cons

  • Billing is limited to rolling, so there is no contract or prepaid option to switch to.
  • The entry price of DKK 169 places Telenor at 247 of 258 brands ranked on price from.
  • The unlimited price of DKK 289 ranks at 142 of 173, so the top tier is not a budget option.

  • Travellers who need roaming reach across 105 countries.

Who should look elsewhere

Core features

Telenor offers SIM only plans, so you bring your own handset and pay for the subscription alone. The network runs 5G, and a multi line discount applies if you hold several lines with the provider. Outside Denmark, roaming is on fair use terms, and the listed reach covers 105 countries. The mix of a rolling subscription, SIM only buying and a family discount is what sets this offer apart from the alternatives next to it, which bill on prepaid and contract or contract, rolling and prepaid.

Plans and prices

Plans start at DKK 169. The entry point is a SIM only subscription on rolling billing with a plan contract of 1 month, so the notice period stays short for anyone who may want to leave. Moving up the range, the reference prices cover a smaller capped data plan, a larger capped data plan, and Fri Data with unlimited data, which is priced at DKK 289. Because the plans sit on a rolling basis rather than a fixed term, the entry price and the renewal price are the same figure, so nothing changes after an introductory period.

How it compares on our data

Ranked on price from, Telenor sits at 247 out of 258 brands. On unlimited price, the ranking is 142 out of 173. The two positions tell a consistent story: the entry price is competitive while the unlimited tier sits further back, so the value for most households is in the smaller data plans rather than in unlimited data. Its overall score is 8.8, with parts of 8.2 for cost, 8.9 for offer and 9.9 for trust.

The company behind it

Telenor is a network operator based in Denmark, and it has been trading since 1991. Buying from the host network means the coverage and the billing sit with the same company, rather than with a reseller or an MVNO. Support is offered on phone and help centre, which covers a phone line and a self service help centre.

Frequently asked questions

What does the cheapest Telenor SIM only plan cost?+

Plans start at DKK 169 on rolling billing. There is no introductory discount that expires, so the same figure applies at renewal. The plan contract is 1 month, so you can leave with short notice.

How much is the unlimited data option?+

Fri Data, the unlimited plan, is priced at DKK 289. That sits well above the entry price of DKK 169 and ranks at 142 of 173 brands on unlimited price. Worth weighing against a capped data plan if your usage is not actually unlimited.

Does Telenor sell SIM only plans?+

Yes. Sim only plans are offered, so you keep your own handset and pay only for the subscription. The network also runs 5G, and the plans are sold on rolling billing.

What happens if I travel outside Denmark?+

Roaming outside Denmark is on fair use terms rather than being included in the monthly fee. The listed roaming reach covers 105 countries. Heavy roaming users should read the fair use terms before committing.

Is there a discount for multiple lines?+

Yes, a multi line discount applies. That makes the DKK 169 entry point more useful for a household than for a single line, since the discount scales with the number of lines you hold.

Who is Telenor and where is it based?+

Telenor is a network operator based in Denmark, trading since 1991. Buying from the host network itself means coverage and billing come from the same company, rather than from a reseller.

How can I get help from Telenor?+

Support runs on phone and help centre, meaning a phone line and a self service help centre. There is a person on the phone for anything the help centre does not answer.

How does Telenor compare on price?+

Telenor ranks at 247 of 258 brands on price from, and at 142 of 173 on unlimited price. The entry price is the stronger of the two, which points to the capped data plans as the value tier.
