prepaid eSIM purchase from europe

Hello,

 

i want to purchase a prepaid esim from germany. ist that possible? Should work in US onlly. When i drop of the plane, i can be online again, including a US Phone Number.

unlimited 50GB / 50$ Month -

Kind regards Michael

 

  • What I understand is that you want to purchase a prepaid T-Mobile (US) eSIM, for use in the USA, while you are still in Germany. This is the first time I’ve heard of anyone doing this. Who knows, It might work. What’s the worst that can happen? You may have to provide a US address and I’m not sure if the system will take a non-US credit card.

    Thanks for your opnion drnewcomb.

     

    Well i guess a telephone Number makes this more complicated. A pure datacard will also solve my problem. 

    Can i purchase somehow a eSIM with 20 or 30 GB Data only?

    VIa normal purchase option, always needed a local adress.

    They have these prepaid data plans:

    2GB of 5G data for $10

    5GB of 5G data for $20

    10GB of 5G data for $30

    30GB of 5G data for $40

    50GB of 5G data for $50

    I’m not too familiar with them. You could see if they can be purchased from abroad. I have no idea when the meter starts running (when you buy or at first use).

    Well the question is not WHAT to buy, better say how to buy from germany.

    German Roaming is quite expensive on data.

     

    I need a t-mobile assistant.
