Mobile data on German trains and in the cities
A plan from an EU/EEA country should work in Germany at home rates within fair use. If yours is from outside the EU, for example the UK, roaming may be charged, so check with your provider. The eSIM is extra data: it suits you if your allowance is small, you work while travelling or you want to keep a work plan's bill under control. It is data only, and your own number stays active.
The networks are Vodafone and O2. Big cities such as Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and Frankfurt generally have good coverage. Germany is known for coverage gaps, though: on trains the connection can drop in tunnels and rural stretches, and small villages and the Alps are weaker. If you work on trains, plan for that.
Data is handy for the DB Navigator app, which shows tickets and delays, and for maps and ride apps. Cash is still widely used in Germany, although cards are spreading. Registering a local SIM needs ID, whereas the eSIM is ready before you leave. In big stations and cities 5G can be fast, but it is not guaranteed everywhere. If you work on a train, download key files beforehand and keep hotel wifi as a backup.

Is the internet reliable on German trains?
Partly. The connection tends to drop in tunnels and on rural sections even when the network is otherwise good. Download tickets and maps for offline use.
Local SIM or eSIM for Germany?
For a short trip an eSIM is simpler because you set it up at home. A prepaid card in Germany needs ID registration and is mainly worth it for a longer stay.
What can I use this eSIM for?
The plan is meant for mobile internet on your trip, for example maps, messages and browsing.
Will my own number still work?
Yes. Your own number and SIM card stay active for calls and messages. Choose the Reissaa eSIM for mobile data.
When should I buy the plan?
Buy and install the eSIM before you leave, while you have a stable internet connection.
Will my own mobile plan work in Germany?
EU and EEA roaming rules apply in Germany, so a plan from an EU or EEA country works at home prices within fair use limits. An eSIM is a good addition if you need more data.

Usually not. The sockets in Germany are type C, F, and a European C/F plug fits most of them. Voltage is 230 V.
