Obviously your card isn't fully activated yet. You need to dial your voice mail (IIRC 9911). You will be prompted to select a PIN number for that. This will finalize activation. Once activation is finalized, checking balance with either 1155 menu 1 or *100# will work.

Just the raw balance. For phone calls, 1155 menu 1 will also give access to the cost of the last 5 calls.

AFAIK not from the provider. A workaround would be buying codes via a third-party vendor like (I hope I won't get flak for this)
Verivox.

And as soon as you top up € 15 or better, an additional 12 months, maxing out at 24 months.

AFAIK medionmobile has already announced lowering their prices to the EU-prescribed levels. As for the rest, I wouldn't hold my breath.
