Does data work well when travelling by train in Germany?

On ICE high-speed trains and regional trains, the connection is generally good on urban stretches, but the signal may weaken from time to time when passing through mountainous or rural areas. The German government is pushing to improve coverage along rail lines, so it is gradually getting better. Overall, a Telekom-based eSIM is the most stable.

Will data speeds be OK in Munich during Oktoberfest?

During Oktoberfest (late September to early October), hundreds of thousands of people crowd into the festival grounds at the Theresienwiese in Munich, so data speeds may be slower than usual. We recommend saving important information in advance as offline maps or notes. Even so, the Yeohaengyusim eSIM uses the Telekom and Vodafone networks to keep your connection as stable as possible.

Can I also use a Germany eSIM in neighbouring countries (France, Austria, Czechia, etc.)?

A single-country plan for Germany can be used only within Germany. If you plan to travel to neighbouring European countries as well, choose Yeohaengyusim's multi-country Europe plan, and you can use it conveniently in several countries, such as France, Austria and Czechia.

Can I just plug Korean plugs into German outlets?

Germany uses Type C/F outlets (also known as European two-round-pin plugs). They are similar in shape to Korea's 220V plugs, so most Korean products can be used straight away without an adapter. However, some products may not fit because of differences in pin thickness, so check before your trip.

How do I activate an eSIM in Germany?

When you buy a Germany plan on the Yeohaengyusim website, We email you a QR code. Scan the QR code in your smartphone's settings and the installation is complete. If you install it before you board your flight, it connects to the network automatically the moment you reach Germany, and you can use it straight away with no separate activation steps.

Does eSIM work in Germany?

Germany supports eSIM, and plans start from ₩1,492. Install it with the QR code you receive after buying, then just turn on data roaming after you arrive and you are connected straight away. There is no need to swap your SIM.

Travel eSIM or carrier roaming: which is cheaper for a trip to Germany?

For a short trip or light data use, a travel eSIM is usually cheaper. Unlimited roaming from Korean carriers costs about ₩11,000–₩15,000 a day, but with an eSIM you can buy just the days of data you need in advance. For a short trip for one or two people, an eSIM has a big advantage; for a family or very heavy data use, compare carrier unlimited roaming too.

Which carrier network does a Germany eSIM use?

In Germany it connects automatically to local carrier networks such as Telekom (Deutsche Telekom) · Vodafone · O2 (Telefónica) (4G/LTE, 5G where supported). Population coverage is about 97%. It picks the network with the strongest signal automatically, so there is nothing to set up.

Can I keep using my Korean number while travelling in Germany?

Yes. The eSIM works as a data-only second line, so your Korean SIM and number stay as they are. Use the Yeohaengyusim eSIM for data only, and keep receiving calls, texts and KakaoTalk on your Korean number.

Can I add to or extend my Germany eSIM plan?

Yes. When you use up your data or the plan period ends, you can buy a new plan at any time. Keep using the eSIM profile you already installed; there is no need to install it again, so you carry on without interruption.

Can I use tethering (hotspot) in Germany?

Yes. In Germany you can share your eSIM data with other devices such as a laptop or tablet by tethering (hotspot). Shared data also comes out of your plan allowance, so if you tether a lot we recommend choosing a little more data.

Do I set up the eSIM before I leave or after I arrive?

We recommend installing it (registering the QR code) before you leave, while you have Wi-Fi. Data starts when you turn on data roaming after you arrive in Germany. Just remember "set up before you leave, switch on when you arrive" and you can use the internet as soon as you land.

Why you really need a travel eSIM for Germany

Germany covers a large area, and you often travel between major cities such as Munich, Berlin, Hamburg and Cologne. When you travel between cities by train, you often want to look up the scenery outside the window along the way or check where your next accommodation is. At times like these, it is really inconvenient without a stable data connection. Buying a SIM locally in Germany means hunting around airports or convenience stores and going through the activation steps while reading instructions in German, which takes quite a while. A Yeohaengyusim eSIM, on the other hand, can be installed easily with a single QR code before departure Korea. You don't need to take out and insert a SIM card, and your existing Korean number stays as it is, so staying in touch with family on KakaoTalk is no problem. Based on the Telekom and Vodafone networks, it boasts 97% coverage across Germany, and in big cities you can even enjoy 5G speeds. Whether you are driving the Romantic Road or climbing up to Neuschwanstein Castle near Munich, enjoy a trip to Germany with an uninterrupted connection wherever you are.
