Do other e-plus and their mnvo SIMs have these longer numbers, or is this something gradually being introduced across all German networks?

This shouldn't matter too much for me if I only dial out via the Voipcheap callthrough access number, but I wonder what will happen if I attempt Voipcheap sms callback

the 4 digits prefixes are full.
they start now with 5 digits - e.g. 01520 for Vodafone, 01577 for e-plus and 01570 for vistream...

Any idea why they never reassigned the C-Netz prefix (0161)?

I haven't heard of any troubles reaching these 13-digit numbers yet, however the +49-157 prefix is pretty new, when it was introduced there was some trouble reaching it with some providers, these problems should have been solved by now though.

E-Plus was the last operator to introduce 13-digit numbers, T-Mobile and D2 already used them since 2001, O2 has had them since 2003.
However you can still get a 12-digit number, especially when you sign up for a contract you'll probably get one and even with most prepaid cards there's a chance of getting one.

They asked me to update my credit card as it is expiring. Sent them an email which they promptly answered with something RELATED but not specific to my question. Asked me to CALL for any followup. I did this morning. It seems there system will not take any US-based credit card. Funny, that is how I bought it in the first place 2 or 3 years ago and how I made several recharges. The customer care rep was going to check and email me back. Did not happen today. They only accept European-based credit cards.

The credit card billing system from eplus is crap. We can not recharge our company SIMYO-cards by credit card anymore either (we have about 100 pcs of them running). eplus has a global limit for each credit card number. If you are over this limit it will never accept this card anymore. We reached the limit (i think it was 2500 Euro) some months ago and now we do manual bank transfers for each card.

My suggestion is to go for Blau. They have the best rate to call abroad (USA for 9 cent/min)

Thanks, but.... I have a balance of > 12 euros and the sunk cost of the starter set. Not interested in changing just yet. SIM can be used for national (German) calls and 800 (toll free) access for using up my sunk costs on prepaid cards.

Do any retail outlets in Germany sell Sunsim or Solomo SIM packs and top-up vouchers?
