Compare 14 eSIM options currently listed for Germany, starting at $2.69 USD. Choose a validity period that covers your whole trip, then compare the data allowance and the conditions of the plan you want to buy.
Available validity periods: 5 days, 7 days, 10 days, 15 days, 30 days. These are plan validity periods; check when the validity starts before installing or activating your chosen eSIM.
A few days in Berlin, a Christmas market trip through Bavaria and a business week in Frankfurt use data very differently. Install the eSIM at home; it activates on Telekom or Vodafone the first time it connects after you land in Frankfurt, Munich or Berlin. Plans are data only and must be installed and activated within 60 days of purchase.
BVG or MVV transit apps, DB Navigator tickets, museum bookings and FREENOW, Uber or Bolt rides run all day. Many U-Bahn and S-Bahn lines have coverage, but save tickets offline as a backup.
Mobile coverage on long-distance trains and in some rural areas can still drop out for minutes at a time. Download DB tickets, maps and anything you need to read before a long journey.
Crowded markets and large trade fairs in Frankfurt, Munich or Cologne can slow mobile data at peak times. A larger allowance does not fix congestion, but saving tickets and maps in advance helps.
The plan keeps working in Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France and the Czech Republic. Poland is not included, so it will not work on a trip to Kraków or Gdańsk.
It connects through Telekom and Vodafone on their 4G/LTE networks. 5G is not guaranteed.
Yes, the eSIM gives you data to buy and show a Deutschlandticket or other DB tickets in the DB Navigator app. The ticket is sold by Deutsche Bahn and local transport operators, not by shibaSIM. Note that the Deutschlandticket is a monthly subscription; cancel it in time if you only need one month.
The S-Bahn lines to Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin airports run through areas with Telekom and Vodafone coverage, but short tunnel sections can drop signal. Keep your boarding pass saved offline.
Start with what you use away from Wi-Fi: maps, translation and messages need less data than video, video calls or a laptop hotspot. Check your phone’s recent data usage for a useful baseline and leave room for travel days.
Daily-data plans: compare the high-speed allowance for each day and read what happens after it is used. A reduced-speed connection and a high-speed connection are different allowances.
Total-data plans: the allowance is shared across the validity period. This can suit uneven use, but a heavy day can leave less data for the rest of the trip.
On a compatible dual-SIM phone, you can use the travel eSIM for data alongside your home SIM. Keep data roaming off on the home SIM unless you intend to use it, and check your home carrier’s charges for calls and SMS abroad.
Install it before you travel while you are on stable Wi-Fi, and keep the eSIM line switched off until you land. Then turn it on and allow data roaming for that eSIM only. Your plan details state whether validity starts at installation or at the first connection in the destination.
Physical SIMs are only shipped to addresses in Vietnam. For other trips, choose an eSIM, and check that your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked before you buy.
