Lowest initial credit or top up available ?
 

Hi All

Some great reading on this site but this is my first post.

I am going to be in Germany for 4 days and need a pre paid sim almost exclusively to receive calls and at worst I might need to make the odd text so looking for the lowest top up available.

I am visiting a friend so can ask him to register on Netzclub. Does Netzclub allow you to use the free data without topping up anything ? That would work perfect for me as if I needed to send a text I could do it via mobile data.

Otherwise I have seen you can get a free Lebera mobile sim, does anyone know what the minimum top up is?

I know I can go into Reisebuero or several other shops and get a 10 euro starter pack from other networks but trying to avoid this if possible as there is a chance I won’t make any calls, just receive them.

Any help would be great.

Many thanks

Hi,
ask your friend in germany to order you a "o2 Freikarte". O2 is shipping free SIM cards with 1 Euro initial credit. So you will not need to topup: o2 Freikarte - Kostenlos bestellen

Hi Chris

Thanks for the tip!

Do you know it Netzclub lets you use the free 200meg mobile data with no top up?

Hi Chris

Do you know if Netzclub lets you use the free 200meg data without topping up anything?

yes, netzclub cards dont need to be topped up to work.
I have a zero cent card for many months already in my android phone

Old 200 MB tariff no longer available
 

The old 200 MB advert-sponsored tariff is no longer available to new members of Netzclub. This tariff has now been replaced by the 100 MB "Sponsored Surf - Basic" tariff, which has different conditions:

After the initial data allowance of 100 MB of the new "Sponsored Surf - Basic" tariff has been used, the data transfer rate is throttled to 32 kBit/s for the remainder of the month. Calls cost 9c/min to all german networks. Each SMS costs 9c to german networks; 19c to foreign networks.

babble is right. New customers will only get 100MB/month, but can upgrade to the "Sponsored Surf – Pro"-option for € 5/month, which includes 300MB of unthrottled data.

Monthly, Free Data Allowance: 100+ MB
 

The monthly, free data allowance is actually more than 100 MB. For new members, the first 100 MB is provided at "high mobile data-transfer rates"; afterwards an (unspecified/unlimited?) amount of additional data transfer is provided at 32 kBit/s for the remainder of the month.

Ab einer Datennutzung von über 100 MB pro Abrechnungsmonat steht nur noch eine Bandbreite von 32 kBit/s zur Verfügung.

I tried to sign up to Netzclub but didn't have a German bank account.

So I ordered a o2 sim and also a Lebera sim.

After ordering the Lebera sim I got an email saying I would get 2 euro credit when activating. I should also get 1 euro on the o2 sim.

This should cover my requirements while I am in Germany.

Thanks for everyone's helps.
