I spent 3 days in Hamburg and 1 day in London.
While in northern Germany I used the Aldi card on my old Siemens S55 (which my dad ruined quite a bit...). I must say I had some problems in dialing several times. The dialing time is always quite long and sometimes it didn't dial at all. Quality of the audio was also pretty bad almost anywhere, but that could be due to the S55 in not so good conditions.
Anyway I was not impressed by this MVNO... surely it's cheap but the quality seems to be quite low as well...

I think it was your handset regarding the bad voice quality. E-Plus usually has the best voice quality in germany.

The long dialing could be network overload.
E-Plus is gaining new customers very fast these days (as they have bunches ov MVNO's and also the only affordable UMTS flatrate card) and they already announced overload situations to be fixed within the next months as they invest more in network technology again.
