Luxembourg: Buy the Best SIM Cards | 2024 Guide

Luxembourg – the country with the world's second-highest GDP, behind Qatar, is the smallest country in Europe when excluding microstates.

The country has three official languages, which are French, German & Luxembourgish (close to German), but you can get along with just English.

Is it even worth visiting such a small country?

Yes, it is.

There are plenty of museums to visit, including the Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art.

Or you may be into castles – the Vianden Castle, built on old Roman ruins, may be for you.

Are you into churches or cathedrals? Cathé Notre-Dame could be interesting.

As you can see, Luxembourg is an amazing travel destination for history buffs.

Or you can enjoy the country's nature – it is full of forests.

But before you decide to post all your Luxembourg photos online, be aware that international roaming can be expensive.

That is why you are better off getting a local SIM card, such as a Luxembourg one, to enjoy local rates.

So, are SIM cards expensive in Luxembourg?

You can get a Luxembourg SIM card for 3 EUR (3.20 USD) from Orange, 10 EUR (10.65 USD) from Tango, or between 5 EUR to 100 EUR (5.30 USD – 105.85 USD) with five variants from POST Telecom Luxembourg in their stores and from resellers, like convenience stores and grocery stores. SIM cards are not sold at Luxembourg Airport (LUX).

Those prices are not too bad! It could be much worse.

But what else is there to know about SIM cards in this country?

Quite a lot.

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

Moreover, you need a phone that supports the frequencies used in the country (preferably all of them to have the most optimal experience while in Luxembourg).

Furthermore, you need to have a SIM-lock-free device.

Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Luxembourg?

You can get a Luxembourg SIM card in POST Telecom Luxembourg, Tango & Orange Luxembourg stores or other retailers, including grocery stores, electronic stores & convenience stores. It is not possible to get a SIM card at Luxembourg Airport.

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

  • POST Telecom Luxembourg: 5 EUR, 10 EUR, 15 EUR, 25 EUR & 100 EUR
  • Tango Luxembourg: 10 EUR
  • Orange Luxembourg: 3 EUR

For up-to-date EUR:your currency (let's say GBP) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.

Can You Use Your Phone in Luxembourg?

Luxembourg uses GSM technology for mobile communications. CDMA phones will not work in Luxembourg. If your phone has a SIM card slot, then it supports GSMA (99% of the phones do support GSM nowadays).

Traditional European frequencies are used in Luxembourg, which are mostly used in ITU Regions 1 and 3 (Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe & Oceania).

The Americas (North-, Central– & South America + the Caribbean – ITU Region 2) use American Frequencies, which differ from the European ones.

ITU Regions Map by Phone Travel Wiz

If you bought your phone in Africa, Asia, Europe, or Oceania (ITU Regions 1 and 3), you should not experience any issues with using your phone in Luxembourg.

If you purchased your phone in the Americas (ITU Region 2) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, then there is a possibility you cannot use your phone when in Luxembourg or can only use slower networks (3G or 2G).

If you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support, you can use your phone in Luxembourg (to some extent) – also on 4G/LTE and 5G NR.

Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Luxembourg

Cellular Connectivity Illustration by Phone Travel Wiz

Luxembourg has three mobile operators offering prepaid services easily accessible to travelers:

  • POST Telecom Luxembourg
  • Tango Luxembourg
  • Orange Luxembourg

The following frequencies are used in Luxembourg:

  • 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
  • 3G: 2100 MHz
  • 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
  • 5G NR: 700 MHz (n28) & 3500 MHz (n78)

You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.

To check whether your phone will work in Luxembourg, check out this page by Kimovil or this one by Will My Phone Work (outdated, unfortunately, but extremely user-friendly – useful for phones launched in or before 2019. It does not check for 5G NR compatibility).

Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above).

If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.

5G NR in Luxembourg

5G NR Connectivity Illustration by Phone Travel Wiz

Commercial 5G NR has been available in Luxembourg since September 2020. It is available on the POST Telecom Luxembourg, Tango & Orange networks. Only Tango allows prepaid customers access to its 5G NR networks. POST Telecom Luxembourg and Orange Luxembourg may so do in the (near) future.

Best SIM Card in Luxembourg

If you want to buy the best SIM card in Luxembourg, I recommend going with Post Telecom Luxembourg, Tango, or Orange. Post Telecom Luxembourg has the best coverage. Tango already allows prepaid customers to its 5G NR network. Orange is the cheapest.

Best eSIM in Luxembourg

Unfortunately, none of the mobile operators offer eSIM to prepaid customers in Luxembourg yet.

Note that the Luxembourg mobile operators require your identification (passport) for (future) eSIMs and physical SIM cards (will be discussed later).

However, you can also get a travel eSIM from various eSIM providers.

The list below is not exhaustive – many more providers have eSIMs for Luxembourg.

But these are the ones I have tried and had pleasant experiences with.

Moreover, they are reasonably priced, which I find very important (you will not see me recommending an eSIM I would not buy myself).

So here are the 12 best eSIMs for Luxembourg:

Because this is the SIM card buying guide for Luxembourg, I will not spend too much time about travel eSIMs here and throughout this guide (but I will still do here and there).

If you want to learn more about the best eSIMs for Luxembourg, you better check out my Luxembourg eSIM buying guide.

It is as helpful and comprehensive as this guide but about eSIMs instead 😜.

SIM Card Registration in Luxembourg

SIM card registration with your passport information is mandatory in Luxembourg. It will be done at the point of sale.

EU Roaming in Luxembourg

European Union (EU) & European Economic Area (EEA)

Luxembourg is part of the European Union (EU).

Since June 2017, those with EU/EEA (European Economic Area) SIM cards can roam for free in other EU/EEA nations, including Cyprus.

This means that, in the majority of cases, you do not need to purchase a Cypriot SIM card if you already have an EU/EEA SIM card because you can roam without additional costs.

However, conditions do apply. Mobile operators in some countries may impose a roaming Fair Use Policy (FUP).

In countries where local mobile data rates are extremely low (such as in the Baltics and the Nordics), mobile operators may still charge you for roaming in the EU/EEA.

Be sure to head over to the international roaming page to learn whether your mobile operator offers free roaming while in Cyprus or if restrictions apply.

Roaming in the EU with Luxembourg SIM Cards

Cyprus and the Cypriot mobile operators have fully adopted the roam like at home regulations principles early on.

Unlike most EU/EEA mobile operators that impose EU/EEA roaming caps, none of the Cypriot mobile operators have such caps.

However, the standard Fair Use Policy applies where you should not be roaming over 50% of the time over a four-month period.

If you do so, EU roaming rates will apply.

You are then better off buying local prepaid SIM cards in other EU nations.

Luxembourg Mobile Speeds, Mobile Internet Prices & Insights

Flag of Luxembourg

The cost of mobile data has decreased significantly over the years.

Nowadays, there are 53 countries where the average cost of 1 GB of data is less than 1 USD.

So, what about Luxembourg? Is mobile data expensive here?

Not at all.

The average price for 1 GB of data in Luxembourg is 3.00 USD, around the European average of 2.50 USD. The world average is 4.07 USD.

When you look at 2019's figures, the average cost of mobile data has decreased by 78.5%.

Cable.co.uk split Europe into three territories: Western Europe, Eastern Europe & the Baltics.

The Western European average cost of 1 GB of data, using Cable.co.uk's definition, is 2.66 USD, which is just slightly more than the overall European average.

Okay, let's talk about speed.

Is mobile data fast in Luxembourg?

Blazing-fast, I would say.

Luxembourg’s average mobile download speed is around 111 Mbps – one of the 14 countries with an average download speed of more than 100 Mbps.

Currently, the only European countries with faster average download speeds than Luxembourg are Norway (174 Mbps), Cyprus (138 Mbps), Bulgaria (126 Mbps) & Switzerland (116 Mbps).

So Luxembourg is doing well.

Especially when we look at where it was a year ago.

It managed to double its average mobile download speed within a year, partially due to the introduction of 5G NR.

Alright, so which mobile operator is the fastest?

That would be POST Telecom Luxembourg, with a speed score of 102.09. Followed by Tango (60.89) and Orange Luxembourg (49.94).

The fastest mobile download speed can be found in Ettenbruck, with a median download speed of 117.66 Mbps. Followed by Luxembourg City (96.71 Mbps).

Dudelange, Differdange & Esch-Sur-Alzette have to deal with median download speeds of lower than 50 Mbps (46 Mbps, 40.68 Mbps & 40.46 Mbps, respectively).

With close to perfect nationwide coverage, cheap SIM cards, incredibly fast mobile internet speeds, and low mobile data rates, you should have a smooth network experience in Luxembourg.

Currency in Luxembourg

Luxembourg uses the Euro with the symbol EUR (which will be used throughout this guide).

However, prices are often listed as just . For example, 25 EUR = €25.

For reference, below are some exchange rates between EUR and USD (US Dollars):

  • 1 EUR = 1.05 USD
  • 10 EUR = 10.65 USD
  • 100 EUR = 106.65 USD

For up-to-date EUR:your currency (let's say GBP – (British) Pound (Sterling)) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.

If your credit/debit card charges you foreign exchange fees, get yourself a Wise Borderless Account and Debit Card.

Their fees are MUCH lower than banks and credit card companies charge you (and Wise is transparent about their fees, unlike banks).

I have saved literal THOUSANDS of Australian Dollars and Euros, my main currencies, when using Wise abroad when traveling compared to my debit and credit cards.

POST has no eSIMs.

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

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 Luxembourg eSIM buying guide, I analyze various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.

But I will introduce them here quickly:

  • Airalo: Luxcom (Luxembourg only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
  • Alosim: Luxembourg & Europe (32 countries) – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
  • Holafly: Luxembourg – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
  • Nomad: Luxembourg, 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 Luxembourg eSIM buying guide to learn more about these eSIM options.

For now, I will continue with POST.

Be sure NOT to get the Telekaart SIM card. That SIM card is only useful for long-distance calls.
