So I still think you can use any PayPal account to load German SIM cards on prelado.de.
It doesn't work with paypal either, when paypal is based on a non-German bank card. I have tried several times. The underlying card has to be German for Prelado to accept the payment.

you need to have positive balance on your paypal account, then it will also work,

Yes maybe so, but then the whole point with paypal would be lost.

No. wrong Users are looking for a way to maintain a German SIM card. To keep it alive without being in the country, you need to do some activity from time to time, at least once or twice a year. Cards of some German providers, you need to top up too.

German SIM cards don't last forever not using them. Some users don't want to buy a new card all the time when coming to Germany. It's inconvenient and extra cost and time to do it.

So, how can you top up a German SIM card (without a German payment system)?
- > You can buy vouchers in Germany before and redeem them from abroad, but this is quite uncomfortable and need some action in advance.
- > You can go to Lebara or Ortel mobile. The only providers to be topped up online by credit card. But some (non-German) cards may not work as well.

After all, if you consider the PayPal method (via prelado.de) so "pointless", what is your solution: How do you top up a German SIM card from abroad. It's easy to say "nah, what's the point" without showing a better way.
