If you're flying from the UK to Berlin for a long weekend, or landing in Munich for a semester at university, you need data that works the moment you step off the plane. A Germany eSIM from Slashtel gives you prepaid data on a major German network without a contract, a local address, or a bank account.
For Indian students arriving in Germany, the same applies. You can keep your Indian SIM active for bank OTPs while the eSIM handles data. You don't need to deal with a German SIM card or a postpaid plan before you have a German address.
Choose based on how you actually use your phone.
| Trip length | Data plan | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| 3–4 days | 3GB | Maps, WhatsApp, email, light social media |
| 7 days | 5GB | Maps, WhatsApp voice/video calls, social media, some streaming |
| 10–14 days | 10GB | Daily video calls, streaming, heavy social media use |
| 30 days+ | 20GB or 50GB | Full-time data for students or remote workers |
A 5GB plan from $X.XX covers a typical week: navigation on the autobahn, WhatsApp video calls home, and the occasional YouTube break. If you stream Netflix on the train between Munich and Berlin, go up a tier.
Arrival airport data. Frankfurt, Munich, and Berlin airports all have free Wi-Fi, but it can be slow during peak arrival times. Install your eSIM before you fly so you're not hunting for a Wi-Fi password at baggage claim.
Keep your home SIM for OTPs. If you have an Indian SIM, keep it active for banking and UPI codes. Your Germany eSIM handles data while the Indian SIM stays on for SMS. You can also use your UK SIM for calls if needed.

Prices checked [August 2026]. Plans from $X.XX for 5GB. No contracts, no hidden fees — just data that works.
Yes. If your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM, it connects to a major German network as soon as you land. You install the QR code before you fly, and data starts on first connection.
For a 7-day trip with maps, WhatsApp, and occasional social media, 5GB is comfortable. If you plan to stream video or use video calls daily, go for 10GB. Light users can manage with 3GB.
Yes. The eSIM handles data while your home SIM stays active for calls and SMS. This is useful if you need to receive OTPs from your Indian bank or keep your UK number reachable.
Usually, yes. UK networks may include roaming in Germany, but data limits and fair-use policies apply. A dedicated Germany eSIM gives you a fixed data allowance at a set price with no surprise charges.
The data starts when your phone first connects to a German network. The plan runs for 30 days from that moment, not from the day you buy it. You can install the eSIM weeks in advance.
Most recent iPhones and Android flagships support eSIM. Check your phone's settings under Mobile Network or Cellular. If it doesn't, you may need a physical SIM or rely on Wi-Fi.
