Hi George.
It all depends on the mobile broadband package your wife has taken out with
Vodafone. Is it one that allows for roaming? Is the network she'll be
connecting to in Denmark 3G or HSDPA enabled? If the answer to those two
questions above is yes, then there is no reason why she can't use her mobile
dongle abroad although I should caution you that roaming costs can be quite
expensive and are usually charged by the megabyte. It may also be worth
investigating whether Vodafone have any partner networks in the country your
travelling to; For instance, Three my own network of choice had a service
where if you were in a three sister network in select countries, you could use
your home data, calls and texts allowance including mobile broadband just as
you would do at home.
All the best and I hope the above helps you somewhat.

I dare say this question will surprise the mobile phone experts, but here
goes.
My wife travels regularly to Denmark, and was sold a USB dongle by Vodafone
which, she was assured would provide access abroad. Well it seems the sales
person in the Northampton shop was about as bright as a toc h lamp. Head
office assured my wife that this will not work outside the U.K.
So what do you guys use with your laptops to access the internet and check
mail when sitting on a train in a foreign country?
George.
