eSIM for Germany: Plans, Prices and Setup Guide (2026)
Kudo eSIM plans for Germany start at EUR 3.79 for 3+1 GB, meaning 3 GB plus 1 GB free, valid for 60 days. A 5+1 GB plan costs EUR 7.99 and a 30+1 GB plan costs EUR 19.99. All prices include VAT. The eSIM sets up in about 30 seconds, can be bought before you fly, and your home phone number stays active while you use data in Germany.

You land in Frankfurt or Munich, turn off airplane mode, and your phone asks a question you do not want to answer: pay roaming rates or hunt for airport Wi-Fi. For hundreds of thousands of people visiting family in Germany, or flying in for work, this is a solved problem. A Germany eSIM installed before departure connects the moment you land, and your regular SIM never leaves the phone.
Kudo eSIM plans for Germany: prices in 2026
Kudo eSIM, the first eSIM provider from the Balkans, has offered travel data since 2022. The Germany lineup is built around bonus data: a 3+1 plan means you pay for 3 GB and get 1 GB free on top. All prices are in EUR with VAT included, and you can pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
- The 3+1 GB plan costs EUR 3.79 and stays valid for 60 days, enough for maps, messaging and browsing on a shorter trip.
- The 5+1 GB plan costs EUR 7.99, also with 60-day validity, a comfortable middle option for a few weeks in Germany.
- The 30+1 GB plan costs EUR 19.99 with 30-day validity, sized for heavy use, video calls and working on the road.
- If you want unlimited data, daily-allowance unlimited plans that cover Germany are available through Europe + Region, starting at EUR 8.50 for 3 days.
Why 60-day validity matters for Germany trips
Most travel eSIMs on the market stop at 30 days, which is awkward for exactly the kind of trips people make to Germany: a long summer with family, a work assignment, a semester visit. Kudo's 3+1 GB and 5+1 GB Germany plans run for 60 days, so a six or seven week stay needs one purchase, not two. And because validity starts only when the eSIM first connects to a network abroad, not at purchase, you can buy it days or weeks before you fly at no cost.

There is no store visit and no plastic SIM. You buy online, and the QR code appears instantly on screen and in your email. Setup takes about 30 seconds.
- Buy your Germany plan online and receive the QR code instantly on screen and by email.
- On your phone, open Settings, choose Add eSIM, and scan the QR code.
- Activation takes around 30 seconds, and the plan starts counting only when the eSIM first connects in Germany.
- Your home SIM stays active alongside it, so your regular number and WhatsApp keep working the whole trip.
A Germany data plan for tourists visiting more countries
Plenty of Germany trips do not stop in Germany: a drive to Austria, a weekend in Paris, a train to Amsterdam. For multi-country itineraries the Europe + Region plan covers Germany plus 45 more countries on a single eSIM. Fixed plans start at 1 GB for EUR 1.20, unlimited daily-allowance options start at EUR 8.50 for 3 days, and you can top up directly in the app without installing a new QR code. One honest note: on unlimited (Pa Limit) plans hotspot sharing is not available, so pick a fixed-data plan if you need to tether a laptop.

Hotspot sharing is allowed on all fixed-data plans, such as the 3+1, 5+1 and 30+1 GB Germany plans. It is not available on unlimited (Pa Limit) plans, so choose a fixed-data plan if you need to tether a laptop or tablet.
