Telephone numbers in Denmark

Denmark generally uses an eight digit closed telephone numbering plan. Subscriber numbers are portable with respect to provider and geography, i.e. fixed line numbers can be ported to any physical address in Denmark.

Split charge is not generally used in Denmark anymore; calls to 70 numbers are usually charged as regular landline calls. A few exceptions do exist, e.g., 70 10 11 55 (the TDC speaking clock service).

In the latest published numbering plan,[2] from 2016, there are exceptions to the landline series above. Almost all landline series have one or more exception based on their 3rd digit. Eg. 43-xx-xx-xx is designated as landline numbers, however 43-1x-xx-xx has been reassigned as a cellphone range.

Special numbers

• Emergency (Police, Fire, Ambulance): 112
• Police (non-emergency, nearest physical Police Station): 114
• Other 3 digit short codes are reserved.
• Carrier select codes: 10xx
• Service numbers (such as directory enquiries): 18xx
• Carrier select codes for data: 16xxx
• Social services: 116xxx
