How much data do you need?

  • Messages, maps, email: about 0.5 to 1 GB per week
  • Social media, photos, video calls: about 1 to 3 GB per week
  • Video streaming: about 1 GB per hour in standard quality, more in HD

The packages for Europe compared:

  • Europe (30+ areas) 1 GB · 30 days enough for messages, maps and email
  • Europe (30+ areas) 10 GB · 30 days also enough for social media and video calls
  • Europe (30+ areas) 50 GB · 180 days the same use, for longer stays

“Unlimited” means high-speed data per day, then you keep browsing at reduced speed.

Calling with your German number

Data package on, calls as at home: with Phonestar you take your German mobile or landline number along in the app; calls and texts run over the eSIM data.

  2. QR code arrives

    Your eSIM arrives by email, usually within minutes, and is in your account.

Top-ups

If the allowance runs out, top up: on the same eSIM, up to 9 times, in your Phonestar account. You get access to the account with your first eSIM.

Even more with a Phonestar plan

With a Phonestar plan your German number lives in the Phonestar Connect app. Over the eSIM's mobile data you can call abroad without roaming charges and receive texts, including codes from your bank. You can then also book mobile data right in the app.
