THE WORST SERVICE. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
My experience was terrible. The eSIM would not activate when I first tried to use it. I was stranded without service for nearly a week. The company's only solution was a 70% refund for the inconvenience. A week lost!
Finally, a different agent stepped in, gave me the correct instructions, and I was able to use the service only after a full week.
The problem is, I had an urgent need for connectivity during that week and was forced to buy a new eSIM elsewhere.
Who will compensate me for the money I spent and the week of stress and lost time? Why am I not being fully compensated for their failure? The usage warnings are completely inadequate. NEVER use this.

The esim worked great. It provided great connectivity where ever we went and great speeds too. The esim worked as soon as the flight landed and gave no problems throughout the trip.

Bought two eSIMs for me and my GF, can't use data with both of them. Filled contact form, no reply. Mailed them, no reply. And their phone number is gone from their website. They are total scam! You'll keep getting PDP error.

10gb sim used across Europe. Worked great for 10 days, then suddenly the speed just dropped to 40kbps despite still showing 5G.

Customer service non-existant. No response to live chat or useful info online so had to buy another sim from jetpac.

Good! The processing speed is pretty good and it is much easier than going to a physical store to buy a card.

At the end it's scam. The support section in the app has no function. The unlimited sim gets blocked after 10GB of usage. It's waste of money. No reaction no nothing. Just don't buy it.

As others are writing, SIM cards get blocked without providing any valid reason. I was told I had used the SIM in a country I was hundred of kilometers away. Clearly they are lying. They are fraudsters. I hope they go to jail for this fraud.

- it works well with local providers, 5G
- the app is not that good though, you can’t see you esim data there, only purchase the plan; QR code is being delivered by email so you should have 2 devices to be able to install the eSIM
- the biggest surprise (negative) was the the plan is recurring, with no reminders it just renews for the next 29 days, no option to cancel in the app — need to email the support

Blocked e-sim without a reason.
First i used a promocode for 7% discount, After purchase the payment on my creditcard was without the discount. Not nice but i was too lazy to write the Support. But than i had a big problem i bought E-sim unlimited germany for 50$ was blocked after 9 of 30 days, because of use in unsupported countries. But i never leave the Country. I Think i was blocked after streaming some Movies so i used more data transfer. The support dosen’t help at all, in a other Reviews the Persons was blocked as well before data usage or time expire in germany.

Terrible.
I purchased a 300gb data sim for Germany, and at first I had to chase to get the qr code to install the esim. Then after 14 days I get an email saying that the operator (which happens to be O2 in the UK) has informed that I had reached my data limit. I checked and I had just reached 50gb. Not the sim is deactivated and there is nothing I can do.
Also, adult sites were blocked by default and there is no way to enable that! Lol

Had a US IP address and i was basically unable to use my VPN. I use Surfshark and the US servers were barely usable but any other countries were extremely slow, so basically useless.
If no VPN is used, the connection is decently fast.
This provider is not for you if you care about privacy.
I stopped using it now because i lost signal. I'm not sure if i have data left, so i can't tell if it's that or if it's an unstable connection. However this made me look for an other provider.
Fast to set up, so it's good if you need something quickly but i wanted to use it as a replacement for home wifi, for work etc. and that just wasn't a good experience.
You get ads via SMS.

Pretty good experience overall, the internet breakouts mentioned in their data plan are accurate. One issue I encountered was when switching between network it takes a minutes to few minutes to get a connection back.

Worked well for a few days, but then stopped working even though I still have plenty of data left. I tried to get in touch with them but there is no contact information on their website. Actually, there is a link to a help section, but it doesn't work. Avoid.

I am currently traveling in Europe and my UK data is no longer usable as I have exceeded my time limit abroad. Luckily, I Seen AirHub and have been using their eSIMs in three different countries, which has been extremely convenient and saved me from buying local SIMs every time. Additionally, their customer support is exceptional. I recently arrived in a new country and mistakenly did not install the new eSIM correctly. I contacted their support team and they were prompt, friendly, and efficient in helping me resolve the issue. I highly recommend AirHub!

Mixed. Good in Amsterdam with country-specific eSim.
In Germany, bought regional. In Berlin, Dresden & Cologne struggling to get data and receive messages, regardless of number of bars showing.
Comparing to my wife on Vodafone $5/day roaming, she had no problems with data access.
Moved her also to Airalo in Dresden & was disaster. Both had trouble getting map data, messages via WhatsApp and FB Messenger massively delayed.

Perfect, reliable and flawless experience in all countries with good 4G speeds (15-25mbps)!
I used the „pay as you go“ plan!
Easy to choose and switch via the app.
Refill/prepay is also done via the app! The only minor catch, minimum refill amount is 10€ and it‘s 10€ steps from here (10,20,30...)
Overall really good experience!!

Frequently Asked Questions

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Germany, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

Germany offers approximately 120 providers and about 7, 600 prepaid data plans. With such a wide variety, travelers can easily find an eSIM that fits their preferences.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Germany?

Yes, there are unlimited data eSIM plans for Germany. Firsty offers a free 1‑day unlimited plan, although it contains ads and limits speed to 256 kbps. Other providers—Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, Roamify, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Truely, Yesim, and FairPlay—offer unlimited data plans with validity periods ranging from 1 to 30 days, all on 5G networks. Most of these plans allow tethering but may throttle the maximum speed to 5 Mbps. Prices for the unlimited options vary from a free offer to roughly $30.73 USD, giving travelers flexibility to choose a plan that matches their length of stay and data needs while keeping in mind the potential speed restrictions.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Germany?

Germany's mobile network infrastructure is primarily supported by the following major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):

Deutsche Telekom: Offers extensive nationwide coverage with advanced LTE and 5G services.
Vodafone Germany: Provides comprehensive mobile services, including LTE and expanding 5G networks.
Telefónica Germany (O2): Delivers a wide range of mobile services with significant LTE and growing 5G coverage.
1&1: The newest entrant, currently building its own network while utilizing Vodafone's infrastructure in areas without coverage.

In addition to these MNOs, Germany hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that offer mobile services by leasing access from the major carriers. Notable MVNOs include Aldi Talk and Congstar. It's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure, not MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Germany?

Travel eSIMs that supply a phone number and SMS for travel in Germany are available, but the numbers are not local German numbers. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Roamify, SimOptions and MoreMins eSIM supply a mobile number that can receive calls and SMS, with inbound voice and, in most cases, outbound voice and SMS, while the dialing code comes from a foreign country – typically +1 (US/Canada), +33 (France), +44 (UK) or +420 (Czech Republic).

The plans vary in data capacity, validity and price; they start around $4 for a 1 GB data pack valid for 7 days, and extend to high‑volume options up to $120 for 500 GB valid for 90 days or 180 days. All plans include the ability to receive calls and SMS, so travelers can use the eSIM as a working phone number while visiting Germany, though they will need a data connection to place outbound calls or send SMS through the provider’s network.
