Hi,

since people have been asking for it, I can offer to bring along German SIM cards for those who are interested.

They'd be Lidl Mobile (on the O2 network). They come with €10 preloaded.

You can activate a data pack if you like, the data pack is €6.95 and comes with 500 MB high-speed (up to 7.2 Mbps) data volume. After the 500 MB are used up, the speed is restricted to 64 kbits. The pack is valid for 1 month and will cancel itself when there are insufficient funds on the card (ie you didn't top up the preload).

Calling fees are 9 cents per minute to any German phone and 9 cents per minute to fixed lines or 29 cents per minute to mobile phones in 51 European and North American countries. (for a list of countries, see here).

The cards come in both miniSIM and microSIM, so if you have one of the newer phones that require microSIM like the iPhone 4 or the Galaxy SIII, you can use it without having to punch or cut the card.

The card does not expire, so you can use it again whenever you come back to Germany.

The price of the card is €10 per piece. Payment in advance through PayPal required, unless I know you personally.
In compliance with German law, the card will have to be registered with the network operator before activation. For this I will need your name and date of birth in a personal message.

When interested, PM me please.

I'm still learning this forum, but I would like to get one of those German SIM, if. That is still possible

That's very interesting. I'll check if I can find a micro-SIM puncher first but if I do i'd be willing to get one :3

Sounds interesting. How do you get the data addon once you have the card?

You can activate it either via their web site or by SMS.

Hmm, this will work out much cheaper than using my UK operator with roaming data. I don't need to be contactable by phone out there anyway. Put me down for one

Nice deal

I plan to visit several countries: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Croatia, Slovakia, Czech Republic...
Are there any cheap options to avoid buying SIM-cards in every country?
I need only data services (no voice, sms or other services needed)

@ Basil Lion

Nope, once you leave the country you bought the sim card in its going to be expensive.

@ Nightfox
Thanx!
