I can take a look at my profile on Simyo website to see if I have to activate something, but I didn't see any option in the past...

At my company we now have 164 SIMYO-cards running in GPS tracking devices and all run perfectly with GPRS.

Its really weird that yours does not work.

APN: internet.eplus.de
username: eplus
password: gprs
is all that we set here. Nothing magic about it.

Maybe you can try to set the eplus DNS: 212.23.97.2

Greetings from sunny Leipzig, unfortunately there´s no way to use my Simyo card with data.... fortunately Wind is not so expensive...

I tried with my K600i, the settings are correct, I tried both in 2g and 3g, no way, I always get an error at once saying there should be something wrong with the settings... now I'm back in Italy, but I'll be again in Germany in October... I'd like to solve this problem...

yeah we should definetely get it work. Where will you be in october?

I'll be in Freiburg just for a weekend (20-21), I suppose I won't use much data connection, but I come so often to Germany and it would be nice to enjoy the Simyo data tariff...
Then in February I should go to Köln for some days...

I had to get help from the very friendly staff at my hotel for the top-up. After following the instructions on the top-up card, it turns out you have to then press another digit - I'm not sure which, but they sorted it out for me.

Other than that, the card worked great, excellent data speeds and you can't beat the price! I pay $20 CAD for 2 MB here in Canada. That same 2 MB in Germany is less than 0.50 Euro.

Try these settings:

WAP GPRS:
APN: wap.eplus.de
WAP-Gateway: 212.23.97.9
Startseite http://wap.eplus.de
Sicherheit: aus
Benutzername: Eplus
Passwort: wap

Internet GPRS:
APN: internet.eplus.de
Benutzername: eplus
Passwort: internet

As far as I remember, user name and password are optional, but maybe this is not correct and the wrong password might cause the problem.

You can still use any EPlus "Free and Easy" topup card/method with Alditalk. They're sold everywhere. No need to go to Aldi again for that. However, no guarantee that it'll work one week from now. Even an (international) bank transfer to the EPlus account works. UMTS Data is working fine, however as I just recently found out, US UMTS phones only work, if the have the european UMTS frequencies, they're using different frequencies in the US for that, just like they do with GSM.
