Do you guys have any sugestion on how to proceed? Have anyone gone through this?

I understand some Fonic users have emailed Fonic and given them a different German address. Fonic sent out the confirming letter again, it didn't get returned to them, and their SIM got unlocked.

I am curious - did the address you gave Fonic include the hotel name? Apparently it should NOT. So, for example, if you are staying at the Hilton in Ramstein and the hotel address is Hilton Ramstein, 24 Main Street, Ramstein Germany 45555, you would give Fonic the address as Your Name, 24 Main Street, Ramstein Germany 45555. You would also need to tell the front desk what you are doing and hope the postman will deliver the mail to you at the hotel.

Yeah I did all that. I did not used the hotel name and still the letter was not delivered.

It has been a week since they locked my sim and still no real answer from Fonic....

This really is a great thread. Thanks to all !!

I can't find any information about using a Fonic SIM outside of Germany. I'll be in Germany and Switzerland this summer. Can I make phone calls from within Switzerland with my Fonic SIM ?? Any idea what the rates would be? If Fonic posts this information somewhere could you post the link? I realize it would probably be in German - that is fine.

THANKS

Just prepping for a visit to Germany next month and was pleasantly surprised to find that the charge has dropped from 2.50 euros a day to 1.99 euros for 500MB of data.
