    Maybe activate it over EE wifi calling in Germany? It would mean a number of pre-requisites: being on an EE contract/sim only plan, having a wifi calling compatible handset eg iphone 6 or newer, and getting a UK IP address eg through a router based VPN. Bit of a faff, but do-able (I think!)

    It used to be the sim had to be in the UK to enable it to register and get the updates from the EE server.   It might work through wifi calling, maybe 50/50. . .
