But now, the Nokia is saying SIM card registration failed.

I try registering online at medionmobile.de, not knowing Germain, I do the best I can. It gives me a customer number (Kundennummer) and an order number.

But apparently registering at their website does nothing for activating the SIM?

Can it be this convoluted?

I see a hotline but I can't dial it because the SIM card is not registered and/or I can see a network. Probably because SIM is not registered.

What more do they need besides a SIM? The Aldi store clerk didn't speak English so I would think it's pointless to go back there.

Hi, you need to find a different phone to dial this hotline. Either a payphone or hotel etc.

Or online on this form: https://www.medionmobile.de/merit/registernew.do

Takes about 6 hours to get the sim active.
