Why this one

The iPhone XS / XR doesn't need a 1 GB plan, and most people don't burn through unlimited.

The iPhone XS / XR natively supports eSIM with dual-SIM standby. Installation is a 60-second QR scan — see the install guide for the exact tap sequence.

In Germany, our wholesale routes ride Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone DE, Telefónica O2 — 160 – 260 Mbps urban · 32 ms RTT. The 7-day window matches the median trip length we see for this destination, and unlimited gives you breathing room without surprise overages.

If your trip is shorter or longer, the Germany page has the alternates.

iPhone XS / XR in Germany

Before you buy.

For most iPhone XS / XR travelers in Germany we recommend the 7-day plan with unlimited data. It matches the median trip length we see for Germany, and iPhone XS / XR runs eSIM cleanly so the only real decision is how much data you need.
We picked unlimited because it removes the only stressful part of a working trip — watching a data counter. Full speed up to the fair-use ceiling, then it slows rather than cutting off, so iPhone XS / XR stays usable for calls and messaging in Germany.
Maps, messaging, and email on iPhone XS / XR sip data; video calls and streaming are what add up. Our pick — unlimited data over 7 days — covers a normal working trip to Germany with margin. Heavy streamers should size up.
Our iPhone XS / XR pick for Germany is $38 for 7 days — one up-front charge, no subscription, no surprise roaming bill. Stripe adds local tax based on your billing country at checkout.
In Germany, iPhone XS / XR routes on Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone DE, and Telefónica O2 — 160 – 260 Mbps urban · 32 ms RTT. It hands off to whichever has the strongest signal where you are; you never pick the carrier manually.
After checkout the QR arrives by email; on iPhone XS / XR it is Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → scan. Under two minutes. The full step-by-step is on the iPhone XS / XR install guide.
The 7-day plan is our default, not the only option. The Germany page has shorter and longer windows, and you can top up the same iPhone XS / XR eSIM mid-trip without reinstalling if you run low.
Full refund if the Germany eSIM fails to activate on iPhone XS / XR; half refund if it activates but underperforms on Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone DE, and Telefónica O2. One click from your dashboard — no email thread.
