Short answer
Yes, you can get a prepaid data eSIM for Germany instantly, without a contract and without a monthly fee. You pay once for a data package, get a QR code by email within minutes, and use O2 and Vodafone's networks. There is no ID check and no registration, just an email address.
- Instant: QR code by email within minutes, day or night
- Prepaid, no contract: pay once, no minimum term, nothing renews automatically
- No monthly fee: you only pay for the data package you pick
- Good networks: O2 and Vodafone, 5G where available, otherwise 4G
- Short or long stays: 1 GB to 50 GB, plus a 50 GB / 180-day plan, top-ups anytime
The Germany plans
| Data | Validity | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GB | 7 days | A few days, or bridging until your own SIM works |
| 3 GB | 15 days | Maps, messaging and email on a short trip |
| 5 GB | 30 days | A month with Wi-Fi at home or at the hotel |
| 10 GB | 30 days | Normal everyday use |
| 20 GB | 30 days | Streaming, video calls, hotspot |
| 50 GB | 30 days | Laptop hotspot, or a month without Wi-Fi |
| 50 GB | 180 days | Long stays: semester, internship, work assignment |
The 1–50 GB plans are on the Germany plans page with current prices. The long-stay plan is not listed there, so here is the direct link: 50 GB for 180 days. Every plan can be topped up when the data runs low.
Prepaid eSIM vs a German carrier prepaid SIM
German prepaid SIMs from brands like Aldi Talk, congstar or Lidl Connect are a solid choice, especially if you live in Germany. They work differently from ours, though:
| eSIM-Now prepaid eSIM | German carrier prepaid SIM | |
|---|---|---|
| ID check | None, email only | Required before activation (§ 172 TKG): video ident, Post-Ident or in a shop |
| Ready to use | Minutes after payment | After the ID check, sometimes hours or days |
| Contract | None | None on prepaid, but you open a customer account |
| Monthly fee | None, pay per package | No base fee on prepaid; many packages renew every 4 weeks unless you change them |
| German phone number | No, data only | Yes, with calls and SMS |
| Networks | O2 and Vodafone | The network of that brand |
| Cost over many months | Fine for weeks to a few months | Usually cheaper if you stay for a long time |
Where the German SIM wins: if you are moving to Germany for good, a local SIM gives you a German number for banks, landlords and SMS codes, and it usually costs less over many months.
Where the prepaid eSIM wins: you are online the moment you land, no shop, no video call with a foreign passport, no customer account. Many people use our eSIM for the first weeks and get a German SIM later, once they have an address and time.
Why German SIMs need an ID check, and what a no-ID eSIM means for privacy, is covered in our guide eSIM without ID for Germany.
What you get
The eSIM is a data plan, and for most people that covers everything. Your usual number stays active on your normal SIM, so you still get calls and SMS codes from home. Everything that runs over the internet works on the eSIM:
- WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram with your existing account, including voice and video calls
- FaceTime and iMessage on iPhone
- Maps, banking apps, email and streaming
- Hotspot for your laptop or tablet
Some buyers start out thinking they need a German number, then notice that their messenger apps already do the job. If you need a German number later, for a contract or official letters, you can add a local SIM at any time. The eSIM keeps you online until then.
Who this is for
Visitors and business travelers. Land in Frankfurt, Munich or Berlin and have data before you reach the taxi rank.
New arrivals and students. Your first weeks in Germany, before you have a registered address or a bank account. The 180-day plan covers a full semester.
Second devices. Data for an iPad, a laptop hotspot or a work phone, without another contract.
Anyone who dislikes subscriptions. No monthly fee and nothing renews. When the package is used up, you decide whether to top up.
Before you buy
Your phone needs to support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. That covers most iPhones from the XS on and many recent Android phones. Check our list of eSIM-compatible phones. Setup takes a minute: see the iPhone setup guide or the Android setup guide.
