I am in Germany in an area that only has Vodafone coverage. Friends with a German Vodafone chip are getting 4G. However, while I am getting excellent signal strength, my data is limited to edge (2g) which barely works with most codes and scripts. Is there a reason why Vodafone is restricting data use age.

Have you tried restarting your phone, or manually selecting different networks in Germany?

@Dewedding173 I have exactly the same problem roaming in Germany with Vodafone Edge. EE used to allow 3G coverage for Vodafone but now they’ve restricted it.
Their first choice is O2-DE normally offering 4G but of poor quality. Vodafone 2G is just a backup.
I was able to manually connect to Telekom and I got 4G, but surprise surprise I mentioned it on here and I got disconnected.
Unfortunately EE are providing awful service in Germany
these days. Three however provide Vodafone on 4G, so as soon as my contract is up I’m leaving. I’d advise anyone that goes to Germany a lot to do the same.

I have the same issue.. Can't connect to 4G on Voda or Telekom.
Only 2G is connecting on these networks which means no internet!! And the O2 has no 4G option 🤬🤬![]()

EE don't strand your clients like this, otherwise we leave!

Hi @Adib ,
Are you able to connect to the official 4G roaming partners which I believe can be found online in a list and are as below as of around 2020?
Germany O2 - 2G - Germany
Germany T-Mobile Germany

I know there are a few threads on here regarding EE and their roaming partners in Germany.

Just read that somebody said, in major cities. I beg to differ. I was in Munich and Hamburg, sometimes I was lucky, most of the time I tried to find a WIFI I could hook on.
If EE is not sorting that soon, then I have to leave. I spend a lot time in Germany. Not good, if you can be reached and can't get internet.

@Sreynold1 It’s the roaming network that has an issue not the EE network. EE have no control how that roaming network is operating.

I don't think so. I think when I initially arrived in Germany, I had LTE, but now I have only 2G, making eg. Google Maps and VoIP unusable. The "Welcome to Germany" text said I can use my allowances, but this way, it's just not true. I am pretty confident that the quality of service being provided is subject to negotiation, and EE should be able to negotiate 4G for everyone who has a capable device.
