Thank you for refering to my number during activation!

Those € 5 should have been accredited before June so you'll end up with a total balance of € 15 which would allow you to activate the 5GB monthly flatrate before arrival.

Top up codes can be redeemed only through your mobile by USSD (*103*cashcode#). But since your Lidl SIM should roam on Hong Kong networks you could actually enter the code already now. Submitting USSD commands does not involve any costs, even from abroad. Btw you can also check your current balance by submitting *101#.

You're so wonderful!
After putting the sim into my phone and turn on data roaming, I have used the USSD code to top up to total euro 25 just now. After that use *101# to check the balance is now euro 25. But in the service portal, it still shows the balance is euro 10, I guess it may take a few hours to update from the mobile network just like last night after I activated the sim card the portal shown the balance is zero but this morning it shown the balance is euro 10.
Now it seems perfect that I just need to subscribe the 15 euro monthly data plan just a day before my departure from home.

I recall someone in the forum reminded that it is better to change the data plan back to usage base before leaving Germany to save the money.

Anyway, you gave me a big help indeed!!

Cheers
