CallYa includes EU roaming on every paid tier, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Moldova and Ukraine. Great Britain is also included on most tiers (verify per plan). Each paid tier bundles Germany-to-EU minutes and SMS: Start has none, S has 200, M has 500, L has 500, Black is unlimited. Switzerland is sold separately as a roaming option.
Same headline price on the entry tier (€9.99/4w for 25 GB on CallYa S vs €9.95/4w for 20 GB on Telekom M). CallYa wins on EU calling allowance (200 minutes/SMS Germany-to-EU on S vs none on Telekom M) and on eSIM activation friction. Telekom wins on coverage in rural and alpine areas plus includes Switzerland and UK in standard roaming.
Yes. Vodafone has a dedicated CallYa eSIM order page with VideoIdent built into the flow. Order online, verify with a video call holding your passport, scan the QR with your phone — done in under 20 minutes.
A no-monthly-fee prepaid tariff where you pay only per call (9 cents/min) and per SMS. Useful for backup SIMs or numbers you rarely use. Comes with the same 5G capability as the paid tiers.
No, not by default. Switzerland is sold as a separate roaming option. If you regularly travel to Switzerland, Telekom prepaid or fraenk includes it without an add-on.
