SIM Cards in Germany: The Best Prepaid Plans | 2024 Guide

Germany – known for Oktoberfest, its cars & football (real football, which some may call soccer).

The country is also home to many churches, palaces & castles.

So, besides visiting all these historical buildings, what else can you do in Germany? A lot.

The East Side Gallery in Berlin is a must-see while in the city.

If you are into amusement parks, Europa-Park is worth visiting.

And the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg is probably my favorite attraction in the city.

As you can see, there is no need to be bored in Germany.

What also is not boring is fighting an expensive roaming bill because you forgot to turn data roaming odd.

International roaming can be expensive. Local SIM cards, like German ones, are much cheaper than roaming.

SIM card prices in Germany are average for Western European standards.

You can get a Germany SIM card for 9.95 EUR-10 EUR (10.55 USD-10.60 USD) from Telekom (formerly T-Mobile), O2 & Vodafone in their stores and from resellers, like Mediamarkt. SIM cards are also sold at several international airports, including Frankfurt Airport (FRA).

Not too bad, right?

Yes, I know some neighboring countries have much cheaper SIM cards (like Poland).

But it is better to spend 10 EUR on a SIM card than 1000 EUR on a roaming bill 🤪.

In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Germany. Let's go.

What is the Best SIM Card in Germany?

So, who are all these mobile operators and what options are available for you?

Germany has three mobile operators offering prepaid services easily accessible to tourists:

• Telekom Germany (also known as Deutsche Telekom and formerly T-Mobile Germany/Deutschland)
• O2 Germany (O2 Deutschland)
• Vodafone Germany (Vodafone Deutschland)

Anyone living in or visiting Germany can buy a German SIM card with no real restrictions, but you do have to comply with the German SIM card registration regulations.

Which, in this case, is only showing your passport at the point of sale.

Where Can You Buy an German SIM Card (+Costs)?

You can get a German SIM card in Telekom (formerly T-Mobile), O2 & Vodafone stores. Electronic shops, like Mediamarkt, also sell SIM cards. Some German airports sell (tourist) SIM cards (at inflated prices).

You can expect to pay the following for German SIM cards:

• Telekom Germany (formerly T-Mobile Germany): 9.95 EUR (regular & data-only)
• O2 Germany: 10 EUR (regular) or 69.99 EUR (data-only)
• Vodafone Germany: 9.95 EUR

Note that SIM cards can be more expensive than those listed above when purchased at an airport.

(Travel) eSIMs for Germany

In recent years, (travel) eSIMs have become extremely popular.

Especially after Apple made iPhones (14- & 15 series) sold in the United States eSIM-only, forcing its users to use eSIMs – even when abroad.

As a result, the adoption of eSIM technology by mobile operators worldwide rose impressively quickly.

Currently, only Telekom Germany (formerly T-Mobile) offers eSIMs to prepaid customers.

But if you purchase an eSIM from any of these mobile operators, you must comply with Germany's SIM card registration regulations.

Suppose you do not wish to do so for privacy reasons (for example) or want to be connected immediately without paying for an overpriced SIM card (or eSIM) sold at an German airport. In that case, you may consider getting a travel eSIM for Germany.

In my Germany eSIM buying guide, I analyze various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide (even in Germany).

Surprisingly, travel eSIMs can be cheaper than an German SIM card or eSIM in specific scenarios.

Moreover, Europe-wide and global eSIM options are also available at competitive prices (without having to deal with expensive international roaming rates).

In this Germany SIM card buying guide (the one you are reading), I will stick to the local SIM cards and eSIM, but you can read my Germany eSIM buying guide for more information about travel eSIMs covering the country.

But here is a quick overview already + applicable discount codes if you are interested in purchasing a travel eSIM for Germany:

• Airalo: Hallo! Mobil (Germany only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS)
• Alosim: Germany & Europe (32 countries)
• Holafly: Germany & Europe (32 countries) – all variants in both options include unlimited data + up to 120 Europe-wide calls
• Nomad: Germany, Europe (30 or 35 countries, depending on the variant) & Global (109 or 139 countries, depending on the variant)

Here are some discount codes to sweeten the deal:

• Airalo: APR15 for 15% off (if you have never bought an Airalo eSIM before). Otherwise, APR10 for 10% off (for existing users) – only the first 3000 users can redeem either discount code)
• Alosim: PTW for 5% off (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want)
• Holafly: PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want)
• Nomad: ADU123 for 3 USD off (on your first-ever Nomad order only)

Once again, check out my Germany eSIM buying guide to learn more about these eSIM options.

The eSIM guide is as comprehensive as this SIM card buying guide, but it solely focuses on travel eSIMs (while the guide you are reading focuses on local SIM cards and eSIMs for prepaid users (where applicable).

SIM Card Price – Telekom Germany (formerly T-Mobile)

You can get a Telekom SIM card, called Magenta Mobil Prepaid (regular) or Data Prepaid (data-only), for 9.95 EUR with 10 EUR credit in Telekom stores and electronic stores, like Mediamarkt. Telekom SIM cards are not sold at the top five international airports (Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, or Munich).

It is also possible to get a Telekom eSIM for the same price as a regular SIM card.

You can consider getting a travel eSIM for Germany, which can, in specific scenarios, be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Telekom.

Especially if you get a Europe-wide eSIM (for when you visit at least two or more supported European countries) or a global eSIM (for frequent travelers visiting multiple continents).

In my Germany eSIM buying guide, I analyze various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.

But I will introduce them here quickly:

• Airalo: Hallo! Mobil (Germany only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS) – use code APR15 (15% off – first-time users only) or APR10 (10% off)
• Alosim: Germany & Europe (32 countries) – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
• Holafly: Germany & Europe (32 countries) – all variants in both options include unlimited data + up to 120 Europe-wide calls – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
• Nomad: Germany, Europe (30 or 35 countries, depending on the variant) & Global (109 or 139 countries, depending on the variant) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)

Once again, check out my Germany eSIM buying guide to learn more about these eSIM options.

O2 Germany (Deutschland)

O2 Germany (O2 Deutschland), just O2 but officially O₂, is the second-largest mobile operator in Germany.

The O2 brand is part of Telefónica, a Spanish telecommunications company active in the Americas (as Altice, Movistar & Vivo) and Europe (as Bouygues Telecom, Movistar & O2).

O2 uses the following frequencies:

• 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
• 3G: N/A – shut down for 4G/LTE and 5G NR refarming
• 4G/LTE: 700 MHz (Band 28), 800 MHz (Band 20), 900 MHz (Band 8), 1800 MHz (Band 3), 2100 MHz (Band 1) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)

This is what you will learn about O2:

* How to Get an O2 SIM Card & SIM Card Price
* Topping Up Options & Methods + Balance Check
* Plans & Packages

Coverage – O2 Germany

O2 has extensive coverage throughout Germany.

4G/LTE is available almost anywhere.

Below is an O2 coverage map produced by Speedtest:

However, click here to see O2 coverage's official coverage map.

SIM Card Price – O2 Germany

You can get an O2 SIM card, called O2 My Prepaid, for 10 EUR with 9.99 EUR credit or the data-only SIM card, O2 My Prepaid Smartphone Jahrespaket, for 69.99 EUR with 12 GB for 365 days, in O2 stores and electronic shops, like Mediamarkt. O2 SIM cards are also sold at Frankfurt Airport (FRA).

It is recommended to purchase your O2 SIM card in O2 or Mediamarkt stores for quick and instant registration.

Mediamarkt will always register SIM cards sold in its own stores (for free – also for O2).

Other retailers will want to charge you too, so I do not recommend getting your SIM card anywhere else besides O2 stores or Mediamarkt.

Or post offices – some sell O2 SIM cards too, and registration there is always free, but you will need to print and fill a document beforehand.

Otherwise, you can register your O2 SIM card online (for free) by video identification (Online ID/Video Ident, or WebID).

If you are from the EU/EEA, you can use your national ID too. Everyone else has to use their passport (but those from the EU/EEA can also use their passport, of course).

Note that identification by video may not activate your SIM card instantly.

In fact, it can take up to 24 hours for your SIM card to work.

It is also possible to get an O2 eSIM for the same price as a regular SIM card.

You may want to get a travel eSIM for Germany, which can be cheaper than getting a SIM card from O2 (in some cases).

Especially when getting a Europe-wide eSIM if you do not stay in just Germany or a global eSIM valid for up to a year if you want one eSIM to work practically worldwide.

My Germany eSIM buying guide analyzes various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.

Here is a quick introduction to them:

• Airalo: Hallo! Mobil (Germany only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + call and text feature) – use code APR15 (15% off – first-time users only) or APR10 (10% off)
• Alosim: Germany & Europe (32 countries) – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
• Holafly: Germany & Europe (32 countries) – these eSIMs have unlimited data + calling feature – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
• Nomad: Germany, Europe (up to 35 countries) & Global (up to 139 countries) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)

For more information, such as the prices and data allowances, check out my Germany eSIM buying guide.
