About LIDL Connect
Germany's strongest mass-market Vodafone-network supermarket prepaid.
Key facts
What is it?
LIDL Connect is the mobile brand of discount-supermarket chain LIDL, operated as a mobile virtual network operator on the Vodafone Germany network with 5G access. It is the strongest mass-market Vodafone-network prepaid in Germany.
The main ladder uses 4-week billing: Smart XS 5G (1 GB EUR 4.99), Smart S 5G (25 GB EUR 8.99), Smart M 5G (50 GB EUR 13.99), and Smart L 5G (100 GB EUR 18.99). The matching annual packs are 60 GB / EUR 69.99, 250 GB / EUR 99.99, and 450 GB / EUR 149 - the last being the largest annual prepaid bucket on the German market.
LIDL Connect's two distinctive features are Unlimited On Demand - the 25/50/100 GB tiers can re-top-up 1 GB endlessly when exhausted - and a free first eSIM swap. Subsequent eSIM swaps cost EUR 1. The eSIM order flow is dedicated and avoids the "active SIM required for SMS code" friction that affects ja! mobil and Penny Mobil eSIM swaps.
