FAQ
Will my phone work with a Germany eSIM?
Any unlocked eSIM-compatible device works — iPhone XS or newer, most 2019+ Android models including Pixel 3+ and Galaxy S20+. Check your phone's IMEI in settings before buying if unsure.
Can I activate the eSIM before my flight?
Yes, scan the QR code anytime before departure. The plan starts only when you connect to a German network after landing — no data is consumed until then.
Do I need to change APN or other settings?
No. After scanning the QR, the profile installs automatically. Just enable data roaming in your device's mobile network settings once in Germany.
Which networks operate in Germany and what speeds can I expect?
Germany's main operators are Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, and o2. All three offer solid 4G LTE coverage in cities and on highways. Typical speeds range from 30 to 100 Mbps in urban areas; some rural pockets may fall back to 3G.
Does the eSIM include calls and SMS?
Most tourist eSIMs are data-only — no voice or SMS. Use Wi-Fi calling or VoIP apps like WhatsApp for calls. Check the plan description if you need a local number.
Can I get a refund if I don't use the eSIM?
Refunds are only available for unactivated eSIMs — meaning the QR code has not been scanned. Once the profile is installed on a device, the code is considered used and no refund is issued.
What happens if I run out of data mid-trip?
You can purchase a new eSIM or top-up via the KodShop dashboard. Delivery is email-based within 60 seconds of payment. Install the new QR code profile alongside the existing one.
