Yes, you need a smartphone for the Deutschlandticket from TicketPlus+. We offer the ticket exclusively as a digital mobile ticket.
Here are the details on other formats:
PDF / Paper Printout: These formats are not permitted. According to the nationwide tariff regulations, a Deutschlandticket as a PDF or paper printout is invalid (due to risk of forgery) and will not be accepted during inspections.
Chip Card: While the Deutschlandticket is available as a chip card from other providers (like regional transport authorities), we at TicketPlus+ are a fully digital company. This focus allows us to provide you with instant access to your ticket and unique benefits, like our flexible pause function, which a physical chip card cannot support.
You will receive your valid ticket from us directly in the TicketPlus+ App or you can save it to your Apple or Google Wallet.
