Setting Up Internet and Mobile Services as an Expat in Germany

For expats in Germany, setting up internet and mobile services can be a complex process due to language barriers and unfamiliarity with the local market. However, with the right guidance, you can get connected quickly and efficiently.

Steps to Follow:

  • Research Providers: Compare services from major providers like Telekom, Vodafone, and O2, considering factors like speed, coverage, and contract terms.
  • Understand Contracts: Contracts are typically in German, so it’s important to understand the terms or seek help if needed.
  • Document Requirements: You’ll need a German bank account and registration (Anmeldung) to sign up for most services.
  • Avoid Scams: Be cautious of providers that seem too good to be true and ensure you’re dealing with reputable companies.
