Mobile data in Germany: what to know

4 of the 5 carriers here run their own network, and 1 rents space on one. congstar runs on Telekom. A carrier that rents a network often has its own APN, so copy the one on its card, not the host's.

Telekom and congstar use a username and password in the APN. For the others, leave both fields empty: a username where none is needed can stop data from working. Where an authentication type is given: o2 uses PAP and congstar uses PAP.

congstar lists separate settings for picture messages (MMS). If texts work but photos in messages do not, those are the values to check. Telekom, Vodafone and congstar also have a second APN for some plans or devices, shown on their cards.

The carriers here use the mobile country code 262, the first three digits of every network code in Germany. Android usually fills in the MCC and MNC from the SIM, so you rarely need to type them.

Visiting Germany with your own SIM? Keep your home APN: roaming data still goes through your home carrier. You only need these settings with a local SIM bought in Germany. Or skip the SIM shop with a Germany eSIM, which sets its own APN.

How to change the APN

iPhone

Open Settings, then Mobile Data (Mobile Service or Cellular in some regions).
Tap Mobile Data Options (with two lines, tap the line first), then Mobile Data Network.
Type the APN, username and password into the Mobile Data section.
Go back. The change saves by itself.

No Mobile Data Network option? Your carrier locks it, and the iPhone sets the APN for you.

Android

Open Settings, then Network and internet (Connections on Samsung).
Tap SIMs or Mobile networks, pick your line, then Access Point Names.
Tap + or Add, and fill in the fields shown above for your carrier.
Save from the menu, then tap the new APN so it is selected.

Made a mess of it? Reset to default in the same menu brings the original settings back.

Still no data in Germany? Check these

Data and roaming on
Mobile data must be on, and airplane mode off. On a local SIM, data roaming can stay off.
The APN, letter for letter
For Telekom that is internet.v6.telekom. One wrong dot or capital is enough to block data.
Username only if listed
Only Telekom and congstar need one here. Leave it blank for the rest.
Select it and restart
On Android, tap the entry so its dot is filled. Then restart the phone and open a website.

Calls and texts work, only data does not? That points to the APN, because calls and normal texts do not depend on it. If nothing works at all, the SIM itself may not be active yet: ask the shop or the carrier.
