Mobile carrier | Denmark has a closed, non-geographic 8-digit plan: numbers carry no information about where in the country they belong, and local and national calls are dialled identically. The plan sorts ranges into three groups — primarily fixed, primarily mobile, and reserve — and the ones listed here are the primarily-mobile ones. Note “primarily”, not exclusively: dozens of three-digit sub-ranges (342, 344–349, 356–357, 431, 441, 771–772 and more) have been reassigned to mobile. So an 8-digit number roughly tells you mobile or fixed, but never the operator. |

Other | Reserved for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, 12 digits. Not numbers for people. |
Physical SIMs can sign up without issues.
Carriers & prefixes
Mobile prefixes by carrier.
Number portability applies — a prefix only shows the original carrier.
Porting rules in full
The right to port is unconditional: every 8- and 12-digit number can move, and you don't have to sit out a binding period or a notice period first. The deadline is one working day — by the end of the working day after the request reaches the donor provider (though the port only happens once your subscription with the new provider has started). The right survives for at least a month after you cancel. If a port is delayed or abused, the provider owes you reasonable compensation.
One way Denmark differs from most countries: moving a number between fixed and mobile is not a right. The official guidance states that if you switch from a fixed-line provider to one that only offers mobile, you have no claim to take the number with you. Providers may offer it voluntarily, but they don't have to.
Since numbers move, a range only tells you who it was originally allocated to.

TDC Mobile carrier
The former state operator; its consumer brands today are mainly YouSee and Telmore, both under Nuuday. In the Danish Agency for Digital Government's 2025 group list, TDC A/S covers DKTV, Hiper and Nuuday.
-
Norlys Mobile carrier
On 28 February 2024 the Danish Competition Council cleared, with conditions, Norlys' acquisition of Telia's Danish business (mobile, broadband and TV); the condition is that Norlys opens its own fibre network to other service providers on equal terms. So “Telia Denmark” is Norlys today; in the official group list, Norlys Holding covers Norlys Mobil and Mit Tele.
