You can top up with credit card, too. The SIM costs 7 EUR less than Solomo, too. However, while receiving calls in France is very cheap (13 cents/min) it is not particularly cheap to call the US from France with it. Even so, I'd use a calling card from a payphone there.

Just one warning: At the moment Credit Card topup does not work. I tried to load my card and i got a email that i should use bank transfer instead of (which worked fine, though).

Hmmm, worked fine for me (with auto topup) a month ago. I'll keep watching the situation -- my balance is about to drop under 5 EUR, which should trigger a new topup.

One advantage of Blauworld is that the cards are usually available at Saturn (and, I think, Media Markt) and some other electronics retailers. Saturn and Media Markt are in all big cities. (Think of Best Buy and Circuit City -- and think of them being owned by the same company and only pretending to compete with each other. That's how it is.)

The German market is very dynamic. T-Mobile has just announced that it will introduce a new tariff on Easter Monday for prepaid customers.

The new "daily flatrate tariff" will cost 99 cents per day and include all calls to German landlines and T-Mobile numbers.

This might be perfect for holiday makers who stay in Germany for one or two weeks. If you are staying for longer, the constar prepaid flatrates are cheaper, but you need internet access (internet cafe?) to switch the flatrates on and off.
