Pros and cons
sim.de
Pros
- Entry pricing of €6.99 is below the site median of €9.30
- The Unlimited on demand plan costs €19.99, under the site median unlimited price of €23.19
- Contract terms run 1 and 24, so a plan can sit on a monthly term or a longer one
Cons
- The Unlimited on demand plan is tied to the longer of 1 and 24, so unlimited data is not offered on a monthly term
- Service runs in DE only, so the tariffs are not offered outside that market
- As an mvno, sim.de sells on the 1&1 network rather than owning it, unlike the network operators getesa, yesss! and Lonestar Cell MTN
Vectra
Pros
- Internet, television/SmartTV and mobile services.
- An availability check helps customers see whether service reaches their address.

Questions about each
sim.de
How much does a sim.de sim only plan cost to start with?+
The cheapest way in is the entry data plan at €6.99 per month, and it can run on a monthly term rather than a long contract. The larger data plan and the Unlimited on demand plan sit on the longer of 1 and 24 instead.
How much is unlimited data on sim.de?+
The Unlimited on demand plan costs €19.99 per month, and it is tied to the longer of the contract options, 1 and 24. That price sits under the site median unlimited price of €23.19, but the commitment is the part to weigh.
Is roaming included on sim.de plans?+
Roaming is included on the tariffs, and the roaming reach covers 33 countries. EU roaming is part of what you get rather than an add on, so regular travellers from DE can keep the same plan instead of buying roaming credit separately.
Vectra
Which technology carries voice calls on the mobile plan?+
Voice calls run on VoLTE, a technology that carries calls over the 4G LTE network. Earlier calls travelled over 3G and 2G networks, while LTE was mainly used for data. Carrying voice on the same LTE network lets calls and data share one connection, which is the main change the technology brings to everyday calling.
