SIM for travel in both Germany (Berlin + Dresden) and Czech Republic (Prague)

Accepted answer

The European Union has removed roaming restrictions a few years ago so if you buy a German SIM card you are good to go.

For example, LIDL Connect says

LIDL Connect SMART XL: When you activate it for the first time, you have a starting credit of €10. You can use the following inclusive services for €17.99/4 weeks: Free calls and SMS to all German networks (telephony for national standard calls and/or national standard SMS, each to all German networks, not to special numbers and abroad 60/60 rate) and a mobile Internet flat rate with 12 GB with a max./advertised bandwidth of 25 Mbit/s in download and 10 Mbit/s in upload, from consumption of the data volume 64 kbit/s in upload/download . Applies in Germany and other EU countries.

Not at all accidentally, LIDL Connect is one I would suggest mostly because it's cheap as dirt and LIDL is everywhere. You will need id and proof of address, your hotel will do.

In the past I have used third party sim cards in Europe. They are cheap and work well, but you will get a new phone number and that can cause problems. For instance, if you want to buy something on Amazon, it will send a code to your phone. You have to switch sim cards to get that code and then go back and enter it. That is just a pain to switch back and forth. I now have T-Mobile in the States and their free international roaming does fine for me. It is 2G speed, but it is free. If you want more then you can pay $10/day or $35 or $50 for longer periods. The AT&T International Day Pass is probably similar to the paid option for T-Mobile. The free European roaming is one of the major reasons I switched to T-Mobile as I go to Europe two or three times a year.
