Where the Germany & Austria plan works
Germany and Austria are separated by a border that most itineraries treat as a formality. Munich to Salzburg is a day trip. The Bodensee has three countries on one shoreline. Driving the Inn valley or any of the Alpine passes crosses back and forth several times before lunch. None of that is a problem until your data plan only knows about one of the two countries.
Both countries on every plan listed. DE and AT have to be in the coverage of anything shown here — that is the admission rule this page runs on, not a generalisation about a typical product.
Switzerland and Liechtenstein are the two things to check. Neither is included by being nearby. Switzerland is outside the EU with its own code, and Liechtenstein is a sovereign state of thirty-eight thousand people with a code of its own. Both appear only where a plan names them: Switzerland, Liechtenstein. The Europe plan is the option that reliably carries all four.
Driving is the strongest case for this pairing. Rail passengers cross a border once and notice nothing. Drivers on the Alpine passes cross repeatedly, and navigation is the worst possible app to have negotiating a manual profile switch mid-descent.
If the trip is really one country, the single-country pages are cheaper and just as instant: Germany, Austria.
Every plan below covers both countries — the whole set, on one profile with one allowance, from $5.99. Nothing to install at the border, and nothing left stranded on a second SIM when the trip ends.

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.
Other regional plans
One profile, one allowance, no swapping SIMs at a border.

Germany & Austria eSIM questions
What qualifies a plan for this page?
Both DE and AT have to appear on the plan's own coverage list. Nothing here covers Bavaria and stops at Kufstein. Each plan's coverage panel names every country it reaches, so treat that list as the definition and the plan title as a label.
Is the Munich to Salzburg run really a border problem?
It is a border crossing that takes ninety minutes and that thousands of people make as a day trip, which is exactly the profile of trip that catches single-country plans out. The same applies to the Bodensee, where Germany, Austria and Switzerland meet on one lake, and to the Innsbruck approaches from the German side.
Is Switzerland included?
No, and it is the most common assumption to check. Switzerland is outside the EU and carries its own code; it appears only on plans that list CH explicitly. If Zurich or the Bernese Oberland is part of the trip, buy Switzerland alongside this, or take the Europe plan, which covers all three.
What about Liechtenstein?
Separate again — a sovereign state with its own code, wedged between Austria and Switzerland, and not covered by an Austrian plan. It has its own page. Handsets in Vaduz will often hold an Austrian or Swiss mast, which is not the same as being covered.
Does the allowance transfer across the border?
It is one allowance on one profile from the start — there is nothing to transfer. Data spent in Berlin and data spent in Vienna come out of the same pot at the same rate.
Will it work on the ICE and Railjet routes?
Along the main corridors, yes, with tunnel dropouts through the Alpine sections and thinner coverage on the regional lines through the Tyrol. The Munich–Vienna and Frankfurt–Salzburg routes are well served on both networks.
How good is 5G on this pair?
Austria was an early and broad 5G deployer and its coverage is unusually good for a country that size. Germany's is strong in the cities and along the autobahn corridors, weaker in the rural east. Plans marked with a 5G pill use it where the local partner network has it; everything else runs on 4G/LTE.
Can I use it for driving — autobahn and Alpine passes?
Yes, and the pair plan matters more here than on rail. Alpine passes and the Inn valley put you across the border repeatedly in a single drive, and navigation is the one app you do not want negotiating a profile switch at 100 km/h.
Do either country require ID registration?
Germany does require identity verification to activate a locally bought prepaid SIM, and it is enforced. Austria introduced a registration requirement too. Neither applies to a roaming eSIM — you are on a partner network as a visitor and never register as a local subscriber.
Should I buy this or a single-country plan?
Can I tether?
Only on plans badged for hotspot use. Traffic you share is metered exactly as traffic the handset uses itself; there is no distinct tethering bucket and no premium attached to it.
