Hi all,

I will be moving to Germany for work for a few months, to the Stuttgart area.

I have an unlocked iPhone 6, working well with no battery issues, so I'll need a "local" SIM card (although I could 'roam' on my current SIM, the cost would be painful!)

Can anyone advise on the best carrier to choose, in terms of 4G coverage and quantity of data (data usage is more important to me than calls), I probably need around 2GB of data a month.

I've looked at T-Mobile and Vodafone, but am not sure if there's anyone else/anyone better, or how good the services of those two are?

Also - would you suggest a contract, or a "pay as you go" SIM? (I'm considering PAYG, but...)

Any assistance from German members, or anyone else who's been to Germany, most welcome!

(note, did a search, only found a couple of very old threads)
