Our verdict

EDEKA smart suits households wanting prepaid mobile on the Telekom network with a low entry price and no long commitment. kombi S starts at €4.95, sim only options and 1 and 12 terms keep it flexible, though the unlimited kombi MAX 5G sits well above the market at €94.95.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Entry pricing of €4.95 sits under the site median of €9.30
  • Sim only options and terms of 1 and 12 keep commitment short
  • 5G and an eSIM are both available on the Telekom network
  • EU roaming is included, which few prepaid rivals include

Cons

  • Unlimited kombi MAX 5G at €94.95 sits far above the site median of €23.19
  • kombi S carries only a small data allowance, so heavy users need the pricier tiers
  • Coverage outside DE is not something the plan facts extend to
  • Running the SIM only line through an mvno adds a layer between the customer and Telekom

Who it suits

  • Households in DE that already shop in the Edeka store and want one bill
  • People who want 5G and an eSIM on the Telekom network without a long contract
  • Travellers who need EU roaming included at no listed extra

Who should look elsewhere

  • Heavy data users, since kombi S is a small allowance and kombi MAX 5G costs €94.95
  • Anyone wanting a bundled handset deal
  • Shoppers who prefer a direct network contract to an mvno

Where it sits among rivals

On price from, EDEKA smart ranks 89 of 258 brands listed on price, with an entry point of €4.95. On unlimited price the picture changes: kombi MAX 5G places the brand at 172 of 173, since €94.95 is a premium tier rather than a budget unlimited option. In short, the cheap end of the range is competitive and the unlimited end is not.

What it does well

Sim only options are available, so you can keep an existing handset and just move the tariff. 5G is supported, which matters for a prepaid line at this price. An eSIM is offered, so a new number can be set up without waiting for a plastic card, and hotspot sharing lets the same plan serve a laptop or tablet. Together these cover the basics most prepaid tariffs leave out.

Pricing

The range opens at €4.95, below the site median of €9.30 for entry pricing. At the top, kombi MAX 5G is an unlimited plan priced at €94.95, well clear of the site median of €23.19 for unlimited plans. Because billing is prepaid, there is no introductory discount to lapse and no renewal step, so the monthly figure is the figure you keep paying.

Who runs it

The service is provided by Telekom Deutschland GmbH, based in Germany, and it runs on the Telekom network. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so account questions can go by email, phone or through the online help centre. Being run by the network operator itself means the tariff sits on Telekom infrastructure while the shop relationship stays with an mvno.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest EDEKA smart plan?+

The entry point is €4.95, on the kombi S line, and it sits below the site median of €9.30 for entry pricing. Billing is prepaid, so there is no introductory rate that later rises. The trade-off is a small data allowance on that tier.

How much does unlimited data cost?+

kombi MAX 5G is unlimited and priced at €94.95. That is well above the site median of €23.19 for unlimited plans, which is why EDEKA smart ranks 172 of 173 on unlimited price. It suits heavy data users rather than light ones.

Which network does EDEKA smart use?+

Plans run on the Telekom network, provided by Telekom Deutschland GmbH in Germany. Because the operator is the network provider, coverage is the operator's own rather than a wholesale partner's. The tariff itself is sold as an mvno.

Do I need a new handset to switch?+

No. Sim only options are available, so you can keep the phone you have and move the number across. Terms of 1 and 12 mean you are not locked into a long minimum period. An eSIM is also offered if your handset supports it.

Is roaming included outside Germany?+

EU roaming is included on these plans, which is a minority of prepaid tariffs across the site. Availability is limited to DE, so this is a single-market service. If you travel in Europe regularly, that inclusion is worth weighing.

What support can I reach?+

Support runs on email, phone and help centre. That means email, phone and an online help centre are all open channels for account and billing questions. The provider behind the tariff is Telekom Deutschland GmbH, so the help centre belongs to the operator.

Is 5G and an eSIM included?+

Both 5G and an eSIM are supported on these tariffs, on the Telekom network. Hotspot sharing is also available, so the same line can carry a laptop or tablet. That set of features is more than many prepaid entries at the €4.95 price point include.
