A local SIM card can be useful if you plan to stay in Germany for a long time, as it may offer more affordable plans. However, if you only need mobile internet for a short trip, an eSIM from Vlex eSIM can be a more convenient option, as it lets you avoid visiting shops and buying a physical SIM card.
Mobile internet speeds in Germany are generally high, especially in major cities such as Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt, where 5G networks are available. However, speeds can be slower in rural areas, so it’s important to check coverage in the specific region you are visiting.
Most modern smartphones support eSIM, but it is important to make sure that your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM functionality. Check your device settings or contact the manufacturer to confirm compatibility.
To activate an eSIM in Germany, you need to scan the QR code provided by Vlex eSIM after your purchase. Make sure your device is connected to the internet to download and install the eSIM profile.
Yes, with an eSIM in Germany you will have access to popular social networks and messengers such as WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram. An internet connection via eSIM provides full access to these platforms without restrictions.

Couldn't find the QR setting on my Samsung at first. Support replied quickly and walked me through it.
First time using an eSIM — the email guide got me set up in three minutes.
My main SIM stayed in place, bank SMS kept coming while data went through the eSIM. Handy.
