Bugger...and i am going in early september! aww piss pants!

you have to order this SIM on the internet anyway.
But as far as I remember they just accept german postal adress for delivery.

Mmmmm could see if the hotel i will be staying at will hold that post for me...mmmm would the network deliver to a hotel?

You can enter 2 adresses there. One for the card owner and one for delivery adress. Maybe you can put in your us-adress as the owners adress with some tricks. Might be worth a try

I wouldn't bother with Simyo, as the whole hotel-address thing is too complicated and IMHO not very reliable (hotels are good at losing people's mail, esp. if they're not guests at the time). Just go to Aldi or Schlecker (or Vodafone or O2, if you prefer a non-discounter) when you arrive and pick up your SIM there. They're everwhere, and it's no problem.

Again thanks guys am gonna pick one up whilst there, you all have been a great help!! (Though i am worried about the guy who thinks i live in the US??)

Erm. I was too quick reading the posts from you and didnt look closely at your flag. Sorry... :wacko:

Chris

thats ok no worries hehehehe!

Hello,

please be aware about the fact, that the prepaids which work on "e-plus" network (Simyo etc...) have a voice-mailbox, which cannot be disabled. For the prepaids working on T-Mobile and Vodafone, the voice-mailbox can be turned off. For me, I find it quite annoying if there's a voice-mailbox, that can't be disabled. I have to hurry answering the phone, as within 20 seconds, the voice-mailbox answers my call... And when the phone is turned of and someone tries t reach me, he or she has to pay, even I am not reachable. So my recommendation would be "D1 Xtra" or "Vodafone CallYa" if you mostly like to receive calls. If you want to do calls, then perhaps one of the e-plus prepaids like Simyo would be cheaper. Calling abroad with every German Prepaid-SIM is too expensive (like 1.99 Euro per minute), better to use Calling-Cards for this purpose.

Regards,
Klaus

its not really a problem for calling me (though thanks for letting me know,!!) umm mainly it will be a way for me to call german numbers while there and not pay a fortune on roaming rates, also a way for me to chat to my little cousin!

Malkav, NOT in the US....at least not knowingly!!!
