Data plans in Germany that can also can be used elsewhere in Europe [duplicate]

Data plans in Germany that can also can be used elsewhere in Europe [duplicate] - Tin vessels and metal bucket with milk placed near bike leaned on shabby rusty wall

I am planning to spend around 100 days in Leipzig, Germany, this summer. I want to get a prepaid data plan. 1 GB should be more than enough.

My Questions are:

  1. Which service providers have suitable data plans?
  2. Prices?
  3. Are there service providers that offer support all over Europe? I might go to Prague, Milan, or Amsterdam on weekends and I will need access to the internet there.


Best Answer

  1. There are many to choose from. You'll probably want a prepaid plan from a "discount" provider such as Simyo or Aldi Talk. Here's a comparison.
  2. Typically the prepaid plan includes a pay-as-you-go rate that is very expensive (ca. 24 cents/MB), but you can add a flatrate option which will e.g. cost 9.90 EUR and give you 1GB of highspeed mobile internet within 30 days - if you use more in that time, it will still work but only at low speeds.
  3. I don't know any international data plans with acceptable prices.

What is the best SIM card to use in Europe?

Can I buy a SIM card for all of Europe?

If you go for a European SIM card, the majority of SIM cards will let you roam across the entire European Union without needing to buy a new SIM in each destination or pay roaming charges. If you're planning on visiting more than one country on your European adventure, this is a great option.

Does Germany have unlimited data plans?

Unfortunately, it is not common in Germany to get data plans with unlimited mobile internet, you will usually have a high speed allowance of a couple of gigabytes, depending on your plan. Currently, Telekom and O2 are the only providers, which offer unlimited data plans.

Answer 2

This situation has completely changed since the 15th of June 2017.

The EU "roam like at home" rules mean that when you use your mobile phone while travelling outside your home country in any EU country you don't have to pay any additional roaming charges. You benefit from these rules when calling (to mobile and fixed phones), sending text messages (SMS) and using data services while abroad. These rules also apply when receiving calls or texts while roaming even if the person you are calling is using a different service provider. You pay exactly the same price for using these services when travelling in the EU as you would if you were at home. In practice, your operator simply charges or takes your roaming consumption from the volumes in your domestic mobile tariff plan / bundle.
