Germany eSIM: plans, prices and travel tips

Account for meetings as well as sightseeing

A Berlin city break may mostly need messages and directions. A business visit to a trade fair can add video calls, file transfers and hotspot use. Separate those needs before choosing an allowance so the work day is not hidden inside a holiday-sized estimate.

If you are travelling between German cities, save your rail details and the address of your next stop before departure. Mobile reception can change during a journey. For a route that continues across a border, compare the specific coverage list with the itinerary rather than assuming a German plan follows you everywhere.

These are selected total-data plans from Stellar’s catalog. For each displayed allowance, we selected the lowest listed EUR price; if prices tie, we show the longer validity. Other plans may differ in network or features.

Catalog snapshot: 26 October 2026. Prices and availability can change. Confirm the current offer, currency, networks and final total in the app before buying. Network types do not guarantee a particular speed or reception.

Can I use this plan for a work laptop?

Check the hotspot permission on the exact selected plan. The table lists tethering support from the catalog, but your phone and the connection must also support it. Budget for updates and synchronisation on the laptop.

Check the supported-country list for the exact plan in the app. Local signal, your device and the selected network affect the connection; a coverage code is not a promise of service at every location.

Get ready before departure

The selected catalog plans list the first network connection as their billing start. Follow the exact order instructions and avoid connecting to a supported network before you intend to start the plan.

1. Check that your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked.
2. Buy the plan in Stellar eSIM and follow its installation steps over a reliable connection.
3. When you are ready to use it, select the travel eSIM for mobile data and follow its roaming instructions.
4. Test a small web page and monitor the remaining data during the trip.

VPN access and top-ups

Stellar VPN is included for your eSIM plan’s validity period. Set up the separate VPN app using the access details supplied with your order; the eSIM purchase does not automatically connect the VPN.

Top-up support varies by plan. Check whether a top-up adds data, extends validity or is unavailable before relying on it for a longer stay. Read our plan-selection guide if you are comparing several options.
