Alternating between Tchibo & Lidl 5 GB/mo plans - would that work?

Thank you very much for your excellent advice. I think you pretty much answered my questions.

To clarify my query about the strategy of alternating between Tchibo and Lidl that you addressed in your fourth paragraph, I was thinking about the following hypothetical scenario:

Start a Tchibo 5 GB plan on Dec. 1. Three weeks later, I find that I've already used up 5 GB. On Dec. 21, switch SIM cards, start a Lidl 5 GB plan and let the Tchibo plan go dormant. Three weeks later, around Jan 15, I find that again I've already used up my 5 GB allotment from Lidl. Switch SIM cards again, reactivate the Tchibo 5 GB plan and let the Lidl plan go dormant. And so on.

In this way, I could manage to have seemless service from the O2 network, if typically I use up a bit more than 5 GB/mo, without breaks during which speed is reduced to virtually nil. From what you've said, this should work, shouldn't it, or am I missing something?
