Coverage and networks

Germany has three major networks: Telekom (Deutsche Telekom), Vodafone and O2 Telefonica, with 1&1 as an emerging fourth player. Telekom is considered the most reliable with the highest 5G speeds, while O2 offers the broadest coverage. In big cities like Berlin, Munich and Hamburg, coverage is excellent. In the countryside and on some train routes or valleys, the signal can still drop out. Networks: Telekom, Vodafone, O2 Telefonica.

For a city trip, 3 to 5 GB is enough. For a longer trip or a lot of navigation and streaming, it is better to choose 10 GB or more.

Germany is part of the EU, so your home plan works there without a roaming surcharge under the roam-like-at-home rules.
