Thanks very much for your help.

I've been connected for 7 minutes now, so I think (hope!) I found the solution.

Apparently you must first make a phone call with the phone. I registered it on-line and thought that was enough. I tried making a call, only to receive a message in German. I asked the very kind lady at the hotel front desk to explain it, and she said I needed to enter the PIN. I did that, and another recording in German came on. She pressed some more buttons, and then it worked!

She commented how frustrating it is that they make these systems so complicated - it isn't complicated if you know German, of course, but it must be hard for immigrants and tourists like myself! You would think that operating a phone should be simple!

Anyway, I don't know if it is worth adding this to the section on the Aldi Talk card on the prepaidgsm.net site, but you do have to make a call first, which involves entering your PIN, and then possibly some other numbers, but I'm not sure which!

One more question - does anyone know how to check the balance on the Aldi Talk / ePlus network? (This info would be helpful to post on the website as well.)

Thanks again,

Kelly.
