German info here: http://www.eplus.de/dienste/8/8_2_1/8_2_1.asp
Anyway, I would call 01149-177-1157 right now from any phone and ask how long the card is active. It may be that you need to provide some identification to get that info.

Hope that helps

That info should be helpful to the OP.

Seems to me E+ makes it quite clear (see *) that OUTBOUND CALLS from USA and Canada (among others) will not work.

I take it the automated (E+ German) SERVICE NUMBER (1155 as opposed to HOTLINE with an actual agent on the other end) is NOT reachable from another phone?

I can confirm that 1155 doesn't work here in Canada.

I tried using the *104*put NUMBER from Verivox HERE# method, using 111 111 111 111 as the PIN number (not a valid number, but I didn't want to buy one and not be able to use it!) The response was "dieser service ist nicht vorhanden" which I assume means "This service is not available." Not sure if it is not available because I didn't use a valid PIN, or because it just doesn't work here in Canada. I was able to retrieve my balance, however.

Fortunately, if they give you another 2 months after the 12 to recharge, I should be fine, since I hope to arrive in Germany before the end of April (unless I run out of my supply of Milka chocolate that I brought back last year). Although I've always found Aldi stores in the past, I may still buy the PIN code on-line before I leave and bring it with me.

Thanks to everyone for all of their help! Now I'm going to try searching for good data rates for a few days in Poland and Romania.
