Each Checkout link opens payment with that plan selected: only the email address and payment remain.

## How it works

1. Choose a plan and pay on the product page (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or crypto).
2. The eSIM QR code arrives by email; install it before you travel (Settings > Mobile/Cellular > Add eSIM).
3. On arrival, select the eSIM for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it. Your own SIM stays in the phone for calls and SMS.

Data-only: the eSIM has no phone number. Requires an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone.

## Telekom, Vodafone or O2 - whichever has signal

This eSIM can use any of Germany's three established nationwide networks: Telekom, Vodafone and O2 (Telefónica). That matters in the countryside, where each network has its own gaps - Germans call them Funklöcher. If one drops out, pick another from the network list in your phone's mobile settings.

According to the regulator, the Bundesnetzagentur, about 97.5% of Germany's area had 4G from at least one network in January 2025, and its online Funkloch map shows where coverage is thin.

## On an EU SIM? You may not need this

A SIM from an EU or EEA country already works in Germany at home prices under the EU's roam-like-at-home rules, within your operator's fair-use allowance. This eSIM is mainly for everyone else: the UK has not been covered since it left the EU, and Turkey, Switzerland and the US never were. On an EU SIM it is still useful if you need more data than your allowance.

## On the train: ICE WiFi and the gaps between

Deutsche Bahn offers free WiFi on every ICE, in first and second class, with no time limit. It is shared by the whole train, and DB asks passengers to avoid heavy streaming and downloads. Only some IC and regional trains have WiFi, so the eSIM is what keeps you online on regional trains, the S-Bahn and trams, or when the on-board WiFi drops.

## Why not just buy a German SIM?

You can, but German law requires your identity to be checked before a German prepaid SIM is activated - often by video call or in a shop. This eSIM is bought online before you travel, so there is no German ID check or shop visit, and it carries data only, with no German number.

## FAQ

### Can I use it in Austria, Switzerland or the Netherlands too?

No - it covers Germany only. On a train across the border it stops working once your phone switches to a foreign network, so buy an eSIM for the next country as well.

### Is there 5G in Germany?

All three networks have large 5G footprints. Whether your phone connects to 5G on this eSIM depends on the network it picks and your phone, so plan on 4G.
