I searched for the card on US ebay but it came up as a DE listing. The brochure which came with the card says 'Aldi talk mit dem MEDIONmobile'. I made a few calls to the US which didn't cost much but mainly I used the card in the laptop as I run my own business and have to be connected all the time. The data cost was a maximum of 15 euros a day; I probably used about 50 euros on data but am not certain how much data I was using. I am pretty certain that I was hitting the maximum only because I was using it on my laptop. Did not need to register the card at all, and the best thing about it was being able to just get an e-plus top-up voucher whenever I started to run low; none of the issues of dealing with a non-German credit card. I was wondering if the requirement for a credit card could be circumvented by getting a pre-paid card; I'm not certain where you can buy one in Germany but they're supposed to be the same as a regular credit card, so maybe it would work for topping up SIMs.
