Never had problems buying a German card just with my Italian ID, not even passport... I just discovered I live in a former Soviet Union country: Italiastan!

BTW Tabacchi shops also sell small refills, at leat the 10€ ones. They usually don't have the scratch cards anymore, they just ask you for your number and they refill it automatically.


Bak to the initial purpose of this thread, I bought 2 new prepaid cards this summer as well.
- Georgia: I went to a small shop with Geocell sign and the English speaking girl just asked me for passport and made choose among hundreds of free numbers on a printed page. I chose my number, she gave me the card, all ready to go, very straightforward. The only problem is that instructions are in Georgian only, not even russian. On their website, in English, there are instructions for activating services like data and configurations too. After 1 day I could use also the 3G network.
- Armenia: I went to an Armentel official shop, very nice, in central Yerevan. They asked just for passport and in 5 minutes I had my card, in very nice cd-box, ready to go, with booklet in Armenian and English. No data settings there, but you can find them in their website, in English.
