BEST VALUE
25 GB at €8.99/4w on Vodafone 5G (50 Mbit/s cap). Same price as ALDI TALK and the supermarket cluster.
Why we picked it: LIDL Connect's mass-market tariff. Vodafone network means strong city + decent rural coverage.
BEST UNLIMITED-ON-DEMAND
25 GB at €9.99/4w with endless 1 GB re-top-ups when you finish your bucket.
Why we picked it: The only mainstream prepaid that lets you re-top-up data the same way you top up an empty plan. Right for variable users.
BEST FOR HEAVY USE
100 GB at €18.99/4w with full 100 Mbit/s 5G on Vodafone.
Why we picked it: Higher tier matches the €18.99 price NORMA hits on Telekom. Pick by network preference (Vodafone vs. Telekom).
BEST ANNUAL
250 GB for the year at €99.99. Pay once, no 4-week cycles.
Why we picked it: Cheapest 250 GB annual prepaid in Germany. Matches ALDI TALK 250 GB Jahres-Paket for the same price.
A unique LIDL Connect feature. On the Unlimited On Demand tiers (25 / 50 / 100 GB at €9.99 / €14.99 / €19.99 per 4w), when you finish your bucket you can re-top-up 1 GB — and another, and another. Endlessly, until the 4-week cycle ends. The net effect is effectively unlimited data at a fraction of the unlimited-tier price (CallYa Black is €79.99/4w; this is €19.99 + small per-GB re-top-ups).
Yes. LIDL Connect is an MVNO using Vodafone cell sites with 5G included. Coverage and signal match Vodafone-branded plans. Speeds are capped at 50 Mbit/s on Smart S/M and 100 Mbit/s on Smart L; CallYa-branded plans uncap.
First eSIM swap is free. Subsequent swaps cost €1. Order online, complete VideoIdent, receive the QR by email. The free-first-swap rule applies to switching from physical SIM to eSIM or moving the eSIM to a new device once.
Online at lidl-connect.de, in the LIDL Connect app, at any LIDL store cashier, or via auto-debit from your bank account. The cashier route is unique to supermarket brands — LIDL shoppers can top up alongside groceries.
Check per tariff. The fetched price list shows EU roaming included on all tariffs. Switzerland is generally treated as a separate roaming zone with paid use. If Switzerland matters, NORMA connect (Telekom-network) or fraenk are clearer choices.
