Get your eSIM set up before you leave Australia

Cache your maps before you head off
Download Greenland in Google Maps before you leave so your GPS keeps working when you are off the beaten track. Nuuk, Ilulissat, and main coastal towns have 4G. The ice sheet and fjord hiking areas have no mobile coverage. Satellite phones are standard for remote expeditions. Your location loads from GPS hardware even without data. Maps.me is a good backup option for remote areas.
Hit the ground running at the airport
Nuuk Godthab (GOH) is where you land. With your HelloRoam eSIM active before you board, your phone picks up TELE Greenland (Tusass) in Greenland as soon as you exit the aircraft. Book your transfer, check your accommodation address, and stay in touch with family back home without airport Wi-Fi hassles.

Nuuk, Ilulissat, and main coastal towns have 4G. The ice sheet and fjord hiking areas have no mobile coverage. Satellite phones are standard for remote expeditions. Download trail maps and offline navigation before any mountain or remote area travel. GPS works from the phone hardware without data.
Keep your Aussie number active while using local data
Most modern phones support dual SIM. Keep your Australian SIM active for calls and texts from home. Set the HelloRoam eSIM as your data line. You receive calls on your Aussie number without paying international rates while your eSIM handles data in Greenland.
Get connected in Greenland from A$15.39

Mobile Networks in Greenland
Greenland has one main mobile operator: Tusass (formerly TELE Greenland). Tusass provides 4G LTE coverage in Nuuk, Sisimiut, Ilulissat, Qaqortoq, Aasiaat, and other main coastal towns. Coverage does not extend between towns. The interior ice sheet, fjord wilderness, and national park areas have zero mobile coverage.
Nuuk, the capital, has the strongest 4G coverage. The city centre, airport, harbour, and residential districts are all well covered. Ilulissat, the gateway for the UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord, has 4G in town but signal drops once you leave the settlement trails. Kangerlussuaq (Sondrestrom), the main international transit hub with a large airport, has coverage at the airport and small town area.
For adventure travellers heading into the wilderness, satellite communicators are the standard backup. Your HelloRoam eSIM keeps you connected in the towns and airports where you start and end each leg of your journey. Australian travellers should confirm their handset is unlocked and supports the local network bands.

Greenland eSIM vs Local SIM vs Carrier Billing
For Aussie travellers, a HelloRoam eSIM is generally the most cost-effective way to get data abroad compared to local SIM cards or Australian carrier roaming add-ons.
| Category | HelloRoam eSIM from A$15.39 Recommended | Greenland local SIM: DKK 300 to 800 (AUD 50 to 120) | Home carrier international billing: $15 to $25 per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | From A$12.78 total | A$70.98–A$170.35 total | A$21.29–A$35.49/day |
| Details | Buy before departure. Activates in Greenland towns and airports without a store visit. No local registration. Covers all your town-based connectivity needs during transfers, hotel stays, and sightseeing in main settlements. | Tusass SIM cards are available in Nuuk and main towns. Prices are high relative to most destinations. Coverage does not extend beyond town boundaries regardless of which SIM you have. A local SIM offers no coverage advantage in the wilderness compared to a HelloRoam eSIM. | Greenland is technically part of the Danish Realm but uses its own telecom infrastructure. EU roaming rules do not apply. US and most international carriers charge premium daily rates. Given the limited coverage area, paying daily roaming rates for town-only connectivity is rarely worth it. |
Prices approximate as of . Actual savings vary.
Best Time to Visit Greenland
June to August is the main season for hiking and midnight sun. January to March is best for Northern Lights. Ilulissat ice fjord is impressive year-round.
Network demand is higher in peak tourist periods. A HelloRoam eSIM means you are not competing for crowded public Wi-Fi at popular spots.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
