Suggestions for German SIM for data?

For how long you like to stay in Czech Republic and where do you like to use data?

I'm only going to be in the Czech Republic for two weeks, mostly in Praha. However, the person we are renting an apartment from will rent us a PC Card for Internet access on my laptop for 45 Euro. This will probably be easier than me trying to buy a SIM card and getting it to work correctly with my laptop, although it sounds like the Czech Republic has one of the least expensive and fastest data options!

Thanks!

Kelly.

Great info you have there... very useful, tks!

On the internet.eplus.de Aldi-talk network, which smtp server should I use?

Some networks forbid smtp access to outside servers, to prevent spam... is that the case? If yes, what are the allowed smtp servers?

Tks a lot,
Gustavo

No, you can use any SMTP server. The internet access on these cards is not restricted.

For the records...

I've just returned from Germany.

Got there last friday, bought an Aldi-Talk GSM card. It didn't work but I was busy through the day and only at night realized I had to fax-in a registration form.

Sent the form on saturday early morning.

By Tue evening when I boarded back to my country the card was still not working. Monday was a holiday which would explain a part of the problem, but the fact is that for me that card was EUR 15 thrown in the trash bin...

It would be nice if carriers would realize that tourists sometimes use their services! You can register by phone or on-line, but it is entirely in German. I managed to register on-line.

Even when you top up your balance, you have to understand German - you would think it would be as simple as entering the necessary numbers, but it seems you also have to press 1 a few times in response to questions to make it work.

Fortunately, I was able to ask someone to help me with it. It made me realize that something as simple as using a phone, isn't always that simple.

Sorry that your experience was so poor - now that it has been activated, it works very well. GPRS works fairly well, the UMTS is great where available, and the data is very inexpensive.
