Germany | simyo to launch 1GB/month-pack for € 9.99

[inquisitor]

There are not much details yet, but only that they'll charge € 9.99 for 1GB valid through 30 days and the subscription will be recurring. The tariff will be launched on November, 17th.

UPDATE: Exceeding traffic will be billed with € 0.24/MB unless another 1GB-pack is being ordered.

To be precise: If you use up your 1 GB before the end of the 30 days you can just buy the next one. It is mandatory a monthly option.

I am coming to Germany right on November 16th... and I would be interested on such an offer (the morning after...).
Do you think having a SIM sent to my hotel would be a viable/safe/etc. option?

Thank you!

Yes, delivery to a hotel should work, as simyo do not verify your identity or address. However blau.de do offer the same tariff on the same network and in contrast to simyo their SIMs are also sold at retailers (Norma, Real, Kaufland, Media Markt, Saturn, ProMarkt, Budnikowsky, ateka and debitel).

But they are not going to offer the 1GB pack, are they?
Otherwise this would be my choice!

Thank you!

All the best,

Yes, Blau.de offers this option as well.

Thank you.
I had checked on Blau Websites and read all sorts of documentation, but there was no hint about this new option (which is already advertised on the simyo site).
I will then try to get a Blau SIM, then. And with the offer of 20 Euro paid/20 Euro credit (till November 17th!) it can be still advantageous even at 0.24 Euro/MB, as long it is a short trip like mine and you do not exaggerate in data transfers (and maybe I can keep the remaining of the 20 Euro for the future...).

All the best,
Sleepy

I just realized, that blau.de will launch their 1GB pack only on November 17th. You'll find some info at http://www.prepaid-wiki.de/index.php5?title=Blau in the paragraph "Handy-Internetflat 1GB".

This is very good. I will get the Blau SIM on Monday morning and I will activate it right away (if I find the right APN somewhere... it should be internet.eplus.de).

I am coming to Germany on Sunday evening, therefore I think this is the best I can do) I do not think I can get it anywhere on Sunday)!

Strange they do not advertise it on their own site like Simyo does...

Very nice site with the wiki you pointed me at!

Thank you again,

Sleepy
