Greenland phone number types
The first digits of a Greenland number tell you what kind of number it is: a landline, a mobile, a free number, or one that costs more to call. Here is a sample of each type of Greenland phone number, as dialed inside Greenland and from abroad.

“Aluu”
It is the everyday Greenlandic word for hello. No source names a separate way to answer the phone, so this is the word from a Greenlandic phrasebook.
A submarine cable named Greenland Connect reached Nuuk in 2009. It cut the town's internet lag by about 500 milliseconds.
