Thanks for the report. Bought on eBay US or DE? And it was Medionmobile and not one of the offshoots like Aldi? So how much did you spend in one week & how much data did you retrieve? Or how much did you use the data portion? Did you need to REGISTER yourself? I bought 2 T-MO cards from eBay DE a long time ago and had to send back registrations. Then I bought a SIMYO online and the online purchase serves as a registration. Then I bough a SUNSIM online and same thing.

Not surprised you had not data roaming elsewhere. Maybe our German friends will comment, but I believe that is fairly standard. e-plus does not service and cannot be received in the other countries expect perhaps very near the border with DE-land.

I have had my MDA there, but never set it up for data. I have never taken a laptop over there. Several reasons for me, including just one more thing to keep track of and not lose.

Somewhat OT....... The expiration date on the credit card I used to purchase the SIMYO card about 3 years ago was closing in and they kept sending me emails telling me to update my records. Well, I could not do it -- it never "took". I had complained via email that SIMYO would not allow me to update my credit card info with any of my VISA cards; even talked to customer care and they were powerless. They said the card had to be a German-based credit card. I later tried my US-based AMEX card and that took.

Merry Christmas.
