International friends- phone data abroad

[lolcantturn]

Hey guys,

I'm going to be in Germany in a couple of days to drive on the nurburgring and visit frankfurt and such. I'm wondering whats the best solution for having phone data abroad? I'm just worried about getting lost at some points, or where I really need it (lets say for an UBER car in frankfurt).

Yup, just got back from doing the exact same thing - Lots of free wifi in most restaurants, all train stations, hotels, and McDs. Never really felt that i was stuck

Yes but if he has existing T-mobile I believe Data and text are free while abroad.

You might also want to look into seeing if you can get prepaid "data only" cards in DE (i know you could in italy). if your phone's unlocked it'll be worth it!

I paid 25 euro for 100 minutes, 100 texts and 1gb data in Italy. Similar prepaid deals exist all over, the up front cost to get the SIM and sign up is what kills you, I topped it up another 15 euro and had it the whole 6 weeks and it was enough. Be prepared to give your passport info to get it though.
