The cheapest mobile plans in Germany 2026

Anyone looking for an affordable mobile plan in Germany quickly ends up at congstar: With the Congstar Allnet Flat S from €10.00 per month on the Telekom network, Congstar is one of Germany's cheapest full-featured mobile providers in 2026 — with unlimited calls, 5G coverage in cities and no minimum term. Anyone needing more data should choose the Congstar Allnet Flat L from €20.00/month For EU roaming, we recommend the O2 Free S (24M) from €12.99/month

For comparison: Telekom starts at €29.95/month, Vodafone at €19.99/month and O2 at €12.99/month — with comparable network quality. Congstar and Aldi Talk are so-called MVNOs (virtual network operators) that resell the major networks at low prices. The result: the same network, the same reception — at a fraction of the price.

Use the filters above to filter by data allowance, contract term and features like eSIM or EU roaming — and find the plan that truly suits you in under 2 minutes.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ: Mobile plans Germany 2026

What is the cheapest mobile plan in Germany 2026?

The cheapest full-featured mobile plan with 5G is currently Congstar Start from €11.90/month on the Vodafone network (24-month term). O2 follows from €12.95/month with its own network, 1&1 from €13.95/month on the Telekom network. All three offer unlimited calls and texts in Germany. You can find the current comparison directly in the tool above.

Which mobile plans are available without a contract term in Germany?

If you want to stay flexible with no minimum term, you'll find options at O2 (O2 Free, no minimum term) and 1&1 (monthly cancellation possible). Congstar plans, on the other hand, run with a 24-month minimum term by default. Without a contract commitment, you're more flexible, but you generally pay a bit more per month.

Is 5G worth it — or is 4G still enough?

For most users, 4G is completely sufficient for everyday use. 5G is worthwhile especially in cities, if you regularly transfer large files, stream 4K videos on mobile or care about low-ping gaming. In mountainous regions and rural areas, 5G is barely available yet — there, a 4G plan makes just as much sense.

How much data allowance do I really need per month?

As a guideline: 30 minutes of daily HD video streaming uses about 10–15 GB/month. If you mainly use social media, messaging and the occasional maps app, you'll get by fine with 5–10 GB . If you stream a lot on the go or often work without Wi-Fi, you should choose 25 GB or more, or an unlimited plan.

Vodafone, O2 or Telekom — which network is the best?

Telekom has the broadest area coverage, especially in mountainous regions and rural areas. O2 and Vodafone (Congstar, 1&1) are equally good in cities and metropolitan areas. For commuters and anyone who regularly travels to rural areas, it's worth checking the coverage map of the respective provider.
