Prepaid credit, use for payment or refund?

[base station]

I have 2 prepaid SIM which I have not used for years but recharged every year so that they do not expire.

Now I want to finish this but there has now accumulated a lot of credit. This amount of money I want to use for payment or get it back.

1 x AldiTalk (MEDIONmobile)

1 x Pluskom (Nettokom)

Did someone has the experience, tips or suggestions how or where these funds can be used to pay or can be transfrerred to a PayPal or a bank account?

Can this prepaid balance be used to pay for the Deutsche Telekom HotSpot Pass?

Yo can get all of your credit back (minus a handling fee) when you cancel a prepaid card in Germany. It's the law following a court decision a few years ago. Providers generally bury this information on their websites, but there are plenty of how-to guides out there, such as http://www.billiger-telefonieren.de/...en_139725.html

Does anyone know if this is available in any other European countries?
Never really heard of this before.
