I-Phone cost in Denmark (With contract) by abeee
Hello every one Can somebody please advise about the price of I-phone in Denmark with a contract with a good servise company. Phones without contract are very costly. Since most websites are in Danish, I am not able to figure that ...
I opted for the 18 month contract, because it lowers the monthly payments. If you can afford to purchase an iPhone before getting a contract I believe you can sign up for 6 month contracts with Telia... Read More

I'm paying about 300 kroner per month for a 16gb iPhone 4. 5 hours talk time, unlimited SMS / MMS and 5gb data (which has been upgraded to 20gb for free). I made a down payment on the phone (1,000 kroner)... This is on Telia DK. Read More
CPH Meetup: Let's Organise Something Official by pixxelated
Hey guys, I'm new around these parts but I see a lot of haphazard "ok lets meet up" posts but nothing really happening to make it 'official' and give people a bit of notice. So I propose we meet up on Friday 24th June at 19:30 at The Old English ...
It's a shame. I'd love to attend something like this but alas I am out of town tonight. Maybe I'll go if you guys decide to repeat! Read More
Cost of Blackberry in Denmark by abeee
Hi All Can anyone help me with prices of Blackberry (Curve) phones in Denmark. I have heard that taxes are really high on phones and other electronic stuff. Also what will be the monthly charge of unlimited plan (BBM service + Internet) on ...
I believe BlackBerry hasn't hit the Danish market as well as it has in the US and UK. As far as I know the only provider to offer the BlackBerry internet service is 3. I took a look at their website and can only seem to find a plan which offers ... Read More

You get 20% off in the electronic shops in the airport. That is if you're flying to a non-EU country (Norway, Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands are ok) with proof of residency in a non-EU country. I believe a BB Curve currently retails for ... Read More
Some guidance... by pratik
Dear Friends, I hope you all are enjoying the summer in this beautiful country and looking forward to Easter Break. I am a potential newcomer to Copenhagen and without disturbing you too much, would like to request your guidance in taking the ...
1 & 2: 45,000kr is more than enough for one person. The tax rate raises depending on how much you earn. I think for your salary it will be around 36%. 3: You will be able to hire a 1 room apartment for 5,000kr. In that price range I imagine you'll ... Read More

You need a permanent address to register. Once you have a job offer you go to Statsforvaltning to get your residency permit. Once you have that you take the permit to you local Borgerservice to register for the CPR number. From the day you go to ... Read More
Cost of living in Denmark (update) by theeternaloptimistic
Hello all, I have followed the other thread but the information seems outdated since now we are in 2011. I have been offered a placement with a Danish company for a year. It's my first placement abroad. I would be very grateful if someone could ...
If your bills and rent are paid and you are left with 5,000kr you will be able to survive, but it'll be very tight. I personally think that if you're planning on sending some of your salary back home it won't be possible. You won't have to pay for ... Read More
Health Care in Denmark by ankittech
Hi, How public health care system works in Denmark ? Does patient pays for in part or total cost of inpatient, outpatient, dental, prescription drugs, eye care from his/her pocket or its all paid by govt. from tax collections ? Regards Ankit
But you need to meet certain (and strict) requirements to get one. A person can't just walk up to the Borgerservice and get a CPR number without an 'acceptable' reason for being in Denmark. Even if they're an EU citizen ;)What? I lived in Paris with ... Read More

Hi Ankit (: I'm Danish, so you can trust me on this. If you're from the EU, you get exactly the same health care as the Danes. I'm pretty sure it's the same for people coming from outside of the EU. When you come from an EU-country you simply go to ... Read More
