Yes. But don't forget to top up your credit to at least € 20 and thereafter to activate the data option before you connect to the web. Further you'll need to set an access profile for Tchibo in Mobile Partner, which uses the APN "webmobil1".

Are you definitely still able to activate the sim to give you a 10gb allowance or have they stopped it now?

Yes. But all three Tchibo SIMs, for which I've activated the data flatrate so far had to be activated by phone, as SMS-based activation failed each time. So be prepared to call customer care at 017964242 and ask them for activation of the "Datenflat". Also the Tchibo SIM must be registered before they will activate any option for you. If you buy it in a shop it might take some hours until the shop employees have faxed the registration form and it has been filed.
