Coverage & network in Germany
The plans for Germany are regional: one eSIM that covers Germany alongside its neighbours, which is exactly what most trips through this part of the world look like. Every plan shown here works in Germany — the coverage counter on each one tells you where else it reaches.
Plan sizes on this page run from short-stay allowances to remote-work territory. Count 100–200 MB a day for maps and messaging, and 1 GB an hour once video is involved.
Where 5G has been rolled out in Germany you’ll get it on 5G-marked plans; everywhere else the eSIM runs on 4G/LTE. Both are far more than maps and messaging need. Tethering is allowed on every Germany plan, so a laptop or a travelling companion can share the connection.
Because these are regional plans, crossing into a neighbouring country usually needs no new eSIM at all — check the coverage list on the plan you pick. The full Europe plan page shows everything the region offers, and France, Gibraltar and Greece have their own pages too.
How to install it
- 1
Buy in a minute
Pick a Germany plan and pay. Your QR code arrives by email within minutes — no account, no shipping.
- 2
Install on Wi-Fi
Scan the code before you fly. The profile sits alongside your normal SIM and stays switched off until you need it.
- 3
Land connected
Turn on data roaming for the TravelNet line when you arrive. The plan starts counting down on that first connection, not at checkout.
Will my phone work?
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone: an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or
newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship. Dial *#06# — if
an EID number is listed alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM.

Germany eSIM questions
Which network does the Germany eSIM use?
We don't publish a single operator name for Germany, because the profile can attach to more than one partner network and picks whichever is strongest where you are. In practice that means you get the best available signal rather than being locked to one operator's weak spots.
Will I get 5G in Germany?
On plans marked 5G, yes — where the network has deployed it and your phone supports it. Outside those areas the eSIM falls back to 4G/LTE automatically; you won't need to change any setting.
How much data do I actually need for Germany?
Count on 100–200 MB a day if you're mostly using maps and messaging, and 1 GB an hour once video is involved. Pick the plan one size up from your estimate — running out abroad costs more hassle than the size difference.
When does my Germany plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Germany, not when you buy it. Install it at home a day or two before you fly — the validity period on the plan you choose runs from arrival, not from checkout.
Why do Germany plans list other countries too?
Because they are regional eSIMs: one profile whose allowance works across every country on its coverage list, Germany included. For a single-country trip nothing changes — install, land, connect. For a multi-country trip it means the same plan keeps working after the border.
Can I use my Germany eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Tethering is enabled on every Germany plan, so you can share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or someone travelling with you. Hotspot data comes out of the same allowance.
Can I keep my own phone number while I'm in Germany?
Yes. Nothing is removed from your phone. The Germany profile is added as a second line and set as the one used for data, while your usual number keeps receiving calls, texts and bank verification codes. Switch data roaming off on the home line before you fly.
Do I need to register or show a passport to use a Germany eSIM?
No. The plan roams on partner networks, so there's no local SIM registration, no ID upload and no shop visit. You buy it, scan the QR code, and it works on arrival.
What happens if I run out of data in Germany?
You can buy another Germany plan from the same page and install it the same way. Plans marked as top-up capable can also be extended without a new QR code.
I'm also visiting France and Gibraltar — do I need separate eSIMs?
Check the coverage list on the plan you pick first — many Germany plans are regional and already include the neighbours, in which case one eSIM covers the whole trip. Otherwise the Europe plan does.
Will my phone work with a Germany eSIM?
If it's an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship, almost certainly — and it must be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# and look for an EID number: if one is listed, the phone has an eSIM. Our compatibility list has the full set.
