No pocket Wi-Fi or SIM counter to find when you land in Germany, and nothing to return before you fly home. The eSIM is installed before you leave.
Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Germany travel data guide
A Germany eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Germany that you install before you fly. Plans in Germany run on O2 and Vodafone, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 20 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 50 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $1.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on some of the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Europe eSIM covers Germany and 33 other countries on one plan, from $1.99. The Global eSIM covers Germany and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Germany, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Germany from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Germany FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Germany?
It connects wherever O2 and Vodafone have signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Germany, not at purchase. The plan selected above (2 GB) runs for 15 days from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Germany?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Does the Germany eSIM work in other EU countries?
No, a Germany plan from this page works in Germany only. For a trip that crosses borders, the Europe regional plan includes Germany and other countries. Check its country list against your route before you buy.
Is there a large plan for a month in Germany?
Yes, Germany has a 50 GB plan valid for 30 days, which is the largest fixed plan here. It suits remote work and heavy hotspot use. Smaller 30 day plans hold 3 GB, 5 GB or 10 GB.
Is the Germany eSIM 5G?
O2 and Vodafone are both listed as 5G for Germany, and plans are labelled 3G/4G/5G or 4G/5G. You need a phone that supports 5G. We don't promise 5G in any particular place.
Can I install the eSIM at the airport in Germany?
You can if you have WiFi there, but we suggest installing before you travel. The days on a Germany plan only start at the first connection in Germany, so installing at home loses nothing.
Will the eSIM work on a tablet?
It will work on a tablet in Germany if the tablet supports eSIM and is unlocked. Check the model on the compatible devices page. Otherwise, install it on your phone and share the connection by hotspot.
Can I hotspot my laptop on a Germany plan?
Yes, all Germany plans allow hotspot. On unlimited plans the laptop's use counts toward the daily full speed amount of 1 GB or 3 GB, so heavy work is better on the 50 GB fixed plan.
My 1 day plan ended. Can I extend it?
Some Germany plans support top up and some do not, and the plan card says which. If yours doesn't, buy another plan. A new plan means a new eSIM to install, so do it while you have WiFi.
How do I top up if I run low?
The plan selected above does not offer top ups. Buy a new plan from this page instead and install it as a second eSIM.
