Getting connected

Land first.
Then install.

1. Before you fly

   Your setup details arrive by email.

   We’ll email your setup details when your eSIM is ready. Save the email for your arrival.

   Wait until you have landed before using Quick Install, scanning the QR code, entering the manual code or activating the eSIM.

2. After you land

   Connect to Wi-Fi. Then install.

   Join the airport’s passenger Wi-Fi and complete its sign-in screen. Open a webpage to check you’re connected.

   Then open your SIM Shop setup email and follow the instructions to install and activate your eSIM.

   Before you go onlineSelect your travel eSIM for mobile data and turn on Data Roaming for that eSIM. Keep data roaming off on your usual SIM.

   Wi-Fi not working? Wait for hotel Wi-Fi or another steady, trusted connection before installing.

Phone checkYour phone comes first.

For the journey

Germany eSIM data for the journey

If Germany means landing in Frankfurt before continuing to Berlin or Munich, keep your airport rail booking easy to find. Mobile data is handy for checking the next connection and messaging your accommodation when an arrival time changes.

Messages and calls in apps use your data. Standard calls, SMS and a local number need a separate mobile service.

Compare the available plans

Choose a fixed data allowance for your trip. Compare the total data, validity and price, then check the selected plan’s coverage and start window.

Buy Germany eSIM data before you travel. Pick the data amount that fits your trip and save the setup email, but do not tap quick install, scan the QR code, enter the manual code or activate the eSIM before departure.

Frankfurt has two airport stations

Frankfurt Airport’s Regionalbahnhof and Fernbahnhof are different stations. Match the station on your booking to the airport signs before heading for a platform. A search for Frankfurt alone is less useful than the full station name on your ticket.

Check the journey again on the day

DB Navigator shows current journey information, including changes to platforms and connections. Open the journey before leaving for the station and again when changing trains. Keep the ticket itself saved too; a screenshot of an earlier itinerary will not show a later platform change.

These plans are data-only unless a product option says otherwise. They do not include a local phone number for standard calls or SMS. Check compatibility, coverage, validity and hotspot needs before purchase.

Recommended setup timing: buy before you fly, then install only after you land. Join the airport’s free passenger Wi-Fi where offered, complete its sign-in page and open a normal webpage to prove it works. If it is unavailable or unstable, wait for hotel Wi-Fi or another steady trusted connection. Open your SIM Shop setup email and install only when that Wi-Fi test works.
