Dial Denmark directly through your phone carrier using country code 45 — convenient, but international rates can add up fast.
Prepaid calling cards let you reach Denmark at lower rates, though you'll juggle access numbers and PINs each time.
MeraTalk connects you to Denmark over the internet with HD-clear audio, low rates, and no hardware to set up.
Dial 011, then 45, then the number in full — nothing is dropped.
On a mobile you can replace the exit code with a + sign and dial +45 directly, which works from any country without knowing the local exit code.
Full dialing sequence
Start by dialing your own country's international access code. From the US or Canada this is 011; from most of Europe it's 00. This tells your network you're making an international call.
Immediately follow with Denmark's country code — no spaces or dashes. This routes your call to Denmark's telephone network. On smartphones, replace the exit code with a + sign.
Denmark has no trunk prefix, so there is nothing to drop. Dial the number exactly as it is written — the same digits are used at home and from abroad. Danish mobiles have no distinct prefix — they share the same eight-digit range as landlines.
Enter all remaining digits of the local number exactly as written. For mobile numbers, include every digit — no abbreviations. Press call and your carrier does the rest.
A strong, stable internet connection is the foundation of every clear call — use Wi-Fi or solid data whenever you can.
A quality headset sharpens both ends of the conversation, making your calls to Denmark clearer and more comfortable.
Keep the time difference in mind — UTC+1 to UTC+2 — so you reach people at a reasonable hour and not in the middle of the night.
The price of calling Denmark swings widely depending on whether you use a carrier, a calling card, or VoIP — and VoIP usually wins.
How to get started with MeraTalk
Phone numbers in Denmark follow set ranges after the 45 country code, distinguishing mobiles, landlines, and special services.
No. Denmark abolished geographic area codes — every Danish number is eight digits with no area prefix, so the same format applies whether you are calling Copenhagen or rural Jutland.
From abroad: +45 followed by all eight digits. There is no leading zero to drop and no area code to look up.
Denmark is identified by several different codes depending on the context, and they are easy to confuse:
Only +45 is a dialling code. DK, DNK and 208 identify the country in data and documents, not on the phone.
