What a bl***** dege*****tes! It's a prepaid, not a contract!

I had exactly the same problem yesterday :-/
I visit Germany once a year or every 18 months, and I would like to be able to be able to keep the same number if possible (ie. have a card that doesn't expire). I don't have a problem adding some nominal amount of money to the card via the internet + credit card every once in a while if that helps keep it alive so that I can use the same number on my Verizon S3 when I come to Germany.
I bought a Tchibo card, just like the OP above, and in the same way it turned out to require a German bank account for the "Freischaltung" of the SIM card.
Can anyone recommend an alternative easy and hopefully cost-effective solution? I think the going rates per minute are 9 cents. (I'd be willing to pay a bit extra (up front?) if it makes the process quick and painless)
Thanks!
I may head to Saturn as suggested, but wanted to check here first.
(*) Note, Verizon's S3 has been "crippled" so that it can't surf the net overseas, but only be used for voice and SMS. (They have disabled the APN menu, so I suppose it makes no sense for me to pay extra for a data packet).
