How To Have Affordable Mobile Internet Access While Travelling Across Germany

Sunday, December 15, 2013

If you are travelling across Germany along with your mobile devices such as a smart phone and tablet, you need to figure out how you are going to get internet access that won’t cost you a fortune. If you try to use your own phone’s data package, you can end up with huge bills to pay, especially if you don’t rely on getting a lot of free Wi-Fi. So, here are two simple options you can consider to have internet access while in Germany.

 

Get a Prepaid Germany SIM Card

If you have an unlocked GSM phone, you can easily buy a Germany SIM card to replace your own so that it can be used for the duration of your trip. Companies like Rebelfone offer these local SIM cards with call and data plans at very affordable prices. If you wait to buy a card from a local vendor, you might face some difficulty, as these cards are only provided to German citizens. Therefore, it is much better to get the card online before you leave for your trip.

Internet data packages on these SIMs can easily get you ample data allowance for a 30-day trip without any difficulty. Even if you do run out of your initial data limit, usual charges for GPRS on these local cards are extremely affordable, especially when compared to the prices you’ll get if you decide using your own SIM during the trip.

 

Buy a Mobile Internet Device

If you need to use the internet on a number of different devices and not just your smart phone, you can simply buy a “Mi-Fi” mobile internet device from Germany to use during your travels. With this device, you can use the internet on five different devices including your cell phone, tablet and laptop. All you’ll need is a local Germany SIM. You can get this from Rebelfone and place it in the device and use its data package on multiple devices.

These Mi-Fi devices can also be purchased online quite conveniently. Extremely affordable and handy, these devices can be perfect if you are travelling to Germany for business and need to make online video calls or other such functions that require you to have internet on your laptop and tablet. You can charge this device just like your phone and when you don’t need it, you can put the card back in your phone.

In any case, you should continue to look for free Wi-Fi in areas like restaurants or hotels. This can help you use free internet while you are in Germany without having to worry about piling bills. However, a local Germany SIM is definitely the best option.
