Phone and data tips
- Train tickets and live connection updates live in the DB Navigator app, so keep data available on travel days.
- Signal still drops on some train routes and in the countryside, so download maps and something to watch before long rides.
- Cash is still used more than in many countries, but card and phone payments are increasingly accepted.
