borjeg · **PrePaids in Europe this summer. -** 12-08-2007, 20:25

We have been around a bit this summer and I have tried out as many PrePaids as possible.

Estonia: 3 cards, ZEN from Elisa, Smart from Tele2 and Simpel from EMT. They're just a users dream, to buy, to understand and to use. On top of that they all are very cheap.

Latvia: 5 cards, Amigo and OKarte from LMT, Ura and Zelta Zivtina from Tele2, Toxic from Bite. The same as with the Estonian cards. Just perfect!

Estonia and Latvia: Tele2 has ho roaming charges at all within the three Baltic states. From this spring they have even included Sweden Tele2 in this cooperation (but not bilateral).

Denmark: 1 card, Telia Just Talk. Good in every sense but the price list which I never could figure out.

Germany: 7 cards, Loop and Tchibo from O2, Medion Mobile from Rewe (E-Plus), Ja! from Aldi (T-mobile), Xtra from T-mobile, CallYa from Vodafone, Smobile from Schlecker (Vodafone). All cards were ok but I had difficulties buying them. Many shops demanded that my address must be in my passport?!?!?! I though that dissapeared with the Soviet Union.

Italy: cards, Tim card from TIM, a prepaid from Three (the operator), a Vodafone prepaid.
My experiences were all negative! Aboslutely noone speaks English (or German, French, Dutch or whatever) in the customers service. I tried to get the grps-settings from TIM. They demanded 10 euros!!!! I have never heard of any company that SELLS settings!!!! Three counldn't provide me with the settings. The answer was "there isn't any". Vodafone couldn't sell me a credits recharge for less than 25 euro, which was to much for me in this situation.
