PremiumSIM
PremiumSIM suits people in Germany who want a low entry price on a sim only plan, a wide support choice and a fibre option from the same seller. Sim only tariffs start at €6.99, and the fixed line runs on fttc and fttp.

Pros and cons
Meow Mobile
Pros
- Entry pricing is easy to start with: the capped data plan starts at $10 a month and the unlimited plan opens at $15.
- A credit check is not required, so a line can be opened without a credit history being put forward.
- Billing is prepaid and rolling, so there is no long fixed term to serve out and nothing to negotiate on leaving.
Cons
- The renewal step is the catch: Initial $15/mo for 3 months then $30/mo, so the opening unlimited figure is not the rate you keep.
- It serves a single market, US, and roaming is paid, so travel costs sit on top of the monthly bill.
- Support runs on email and chat only, so there is no phone line for anyone who wants to talk a problem through.
PremiumSIM
Pros
- Sim only plans start at €6.99, below the €9.30 median across listed brands
- Terms run 1 and 24, so a rolling option sits next to a longer commitment
- 5G, eSIM and wifi calling are all available, which is what most listed mobile plans carry
Cons
- The fibre line carries a setup fee of €49.99 and post contract pricing of €44.99
- As an mvno, the provider sets its own tariffs on another carrier's network and stays inside DE
- Uploads of 5.8 to 40 Mbps sit below downloads of 1,000 Mbps, which matters for sending large files
Who each suits
Meow Mobile
Who it suits
- Households in the US that want a prepaid, rolling SIM only line on AT&T without a long contract.
- People who rarely leave the country and stream or hotspot often, since roaming is paid and unmetered data opens at $15.
- Anyone adding a spare line for a child, a partner or a second phone, since a credit check is not required and hotspot sharing is included.
Who should look elsewhere
- GETESA, which sells as a network (network), for readers who want the host network itself rather than a virtual network operator.
- yesss! and Lonestar Cell MTN, both sold as networks (network, network), for anyone who treats buying direct from the network as a condition rather than a preference.
PremiumSIM
Who it suits
- People in Germany who want a sim only plan on 1 and 24 terms
- Households that want mobile and a fibre line from one seller, with €49.99 to budget for at the start
- Travellers who need EU roaming included in 33 countries
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after unlimited data, since no unlimited plan appears among the reference plan prices
- Buyers who want the host network itself, where yesss! sells as a network
- People who need service beyond DE, with Lonestar Cell MTN listed as a network

Questions about each
Meow Mobile
What does Meow Mobile cost to start, and what happens to the price later?+
The capped data plan starts at $10 a month and the unlimited plan opens at $15. The opening unlimited rate is introductory, because Initial $15/mo for 3 months then $30/mo. Budget from the ongoing rate rather than the headline figure, since that step is what most of the monthly bill depends on.
Is Meow Mobile a network or a virtual operator?+
Meow Mobile is a virtual network operator, so the coverage comes from AT&T while the plans, pricing and support are its own. That split is the usual reason a plan here can sit below what the network charges. Readers who prefer to buy from the network itself have GETESA and yesss! listed alongside, both of which sell as networks.
PremiumSIM
What does the cheapest PremiumSIM mobile plan cost?+
The starting price across the range is €6.99, set on a small allnet plan. A second reference plan adds a much larger data allowance at a higher monthly cost, and no unlimited plan appears among the reference plan prices. Heavy data users would pay for the larger tier from the first bill.
How long is the contract?+
Plan contract months run 1 and 24, so a short rolling arrangement sits alongside a longer commitment. Billing is offered as contract or rolling, which lets you match the term to how long you expect to keep the line. Households that expect to move soon should read the longer term carefully.
