Questions
What is the best eSIM for Germany?
For most trips, 5 GB for 30 days is enough: $4.29 here, against $11.00 at Airalo for the same data (read 31 Oct 2026). It is data only and needs no app: the QR code and a one-tap install link arrive by email. For heavy use there is also a Day Pass: 3 GB a day at full speed. Every brand's price for Germany, dated and sourced, is on our comparison page.
Is there an unlimited eSIM for Germany?
Yes: our Day Pass is unlimited data, 3 GB a day at full speed and then 1 Mbps with no cut-off, and 7 days cost $20.90 here. Other brands' "unlimited" plans for 7 days: Ubigi $22.00 (unlimited, 20 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps); Nomad $23.00 (2GB/day at 4G/5G. 1 Mbps after 2GB); Airalo $24.00 (unlimited with a daily high-speed allowance); Jetpac $24.99 (first 3 GB every 24 hours at standard network speeds) (prices read 30 Oct to 31 Oct 2026). Read each one's terms: "unlimited" often means a daily allowance at full speed.
Which Germany eSIM for a month?
Every one of these lasts 30 days: 3 GB $3.49, 5 GB $4.29, 10 GB $7.19, 20 GB $13.19, 50 GB $26.69. The 30 days start when the eSIM first connects to a network there, so you can buy before the trip.
Can I buy a Germany eSIM without an app?
Yes. You pay on this page and the QR code and a one-tap install link arrive by email: no app and no account. It is data only, with no phone number, so your home SIM keeps your calls and SMS.
Does the Germany eSIM come with a phone number?
No. It is data only: no local number, calls or SMS on this eSIM. Your home SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts (your carrier's roaming rates apply to them), and WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal calls run over the eSIM's data. If you need a local number in Germany, for example for a service that texts a code, buy a local SIM there.
Which Germany eSIM for a week or two?
For 7 days: 1 GB $2.39. The 30-day packs cover one or two weeks too: 3 GB $3.49, 5 GB $4.29. Day Pass, 3 GB a day at full speed and then 1 Mbps: 7 days $20.90, 14 days $34.90.
12 more questions
Will WhatsApp keep my number with a Germany eSIM?
Yes. WhatsApp stays on your home number: this eSIM is data only and has no number. Leave your home SIM in the phone with its data roaming off, use the Germany eSIM for mobile data, and do not re-register WhatsApp.
Is a Germany eSIM cheaper than roaming?
With a phone plan from the EU or EEA, roaming in Germany costs nothing extra ("roam like at home"), so you may not need one. From anywhere else, usually yes. US carriers charge $12 a day for roaming (AT&T International Day Pass, Verizon TravelPass, read 31 Oct 2026) where they cover Germany, so a week costs $84. Here 5 GB for 30 days is $4.29 in total.
How much is the Germany eSIM?
From $2.39 in USD, and the price on this page is the price you pay. Sizes run from the 1 GB pack up; pick one in the list above.
When does the Germany plan start?
First attach to a covered network. Install on Wi-Fi before you fly. After you land, turn data roaming on for this line.
Can I hotspot in Germany?
Yes, it uses the same GB. We never block it; rarely, a local network limits it.
Which networks in Germany?
O2 + Vodafone. Your phone joins whichever of these is strongest where you are.
Is this 5G in Germany?
This pack runs on 3G/4G/5G. You get 5G where the local network offers it to visitors, otherwise 4G.
What APN do I use in Germany?
Automatic unless the QR mail names one
Can I use this Germany eSIM in another country?
No. This pack is Germany. A new country is a new QR. Keep this one if you return.
Can I top up the Germany plan?

How long do I have to install the Germany eSIM?
Start using within 180 days of purchase. After that an unused pack can expire. Scan on Wi-Fi before you fly.
What if I buy the wrong plan?
QR not scanned and not on the phone? Email within 30 days of issue. We cancel and refund. Installed? Buy the right country and keep this QR for later.
