🇩🇪 Germany
Germany eSIM for tourists
A holiday in Germany rarely needs much data, which is exactly why bundles are bad value there. A week of maps, translation, a few restaurant bookings and some photo uploads usually lands between two and five gigabytes, and a 10 GB tourist bundle quietly throws half of it away.
MoneroSim bills $1.90 per GB from a balance you already own, so a short trip costs a few dollars and whatever is left waits for the next one.
Getting online in Germany
Frankfurt and Munich airports have unlimited free wifi. Coverage is excellent in cities and along the autobahn network, weaker in parts of rural Brandenburg and the Harz.
The profile attaches to Telekom, Vodafone DE, O2, so coverage in Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt is the same network you would get from a local shop, at 5G speeds where the mast supports it.
Why skip the local SIM shop
Buying a local prepaid SIM in Germany means presenting ID and having your details recorded against the number. An eSIM issued outside the country skips that process entirely.
On a five day trip the queue, the paperwork and the top-up card that expires in 30 days are all cost you pay in time rather than money. Installing before departure removes the whole errand.

Practical tips
- Install the profile on home wifi before you fly, then switch it on after landing
- Set MoneroSim as the data line and keep your usual SIM for calls and texts
- Download offline maps for Berlin to keep data use low
- Turn data roaming on for the MoneroSim profile; it is how it reaches Telekom
