(Now it's active, but i forgot the activation code... can i add it later???)

Is that 9,95 euro price just the number, or it contains any balance, because my balance is 0 euro?!

thx,

A quick question: does anyone know whether or not, if I cancel my LIDL Monatsflaterate halfway through the 30 day period and then afterwards reactivate it, the monthly data-volume limit will be reset with the newly activated Monatsflatfate plan?

Throttling is killing me, and besides shortening the plan and just paying to restart it sooner, I don't know how else to deal with it. Getting another sim card would work if cancelling and restarting doesn't, but then I have 2 cards to deal with, and 2 accounts... If restarting the plan worked, it'd be simplest. I could just foresee something weird and maybe really frustrating happening, though, like me paying the 14.95 Euro again but still getting stuck with my already depleted data-volume.

Unfortunately you cannot cancel your current tariff within the ongoing billing period. So you can neither switch to another tariff nor order a second 5GB pack before those 30 days have passed. I don't see any alternative to buying a second SIM.

Thanks, it seems that that's what I'll be doing, other hassles aside.

Remember to enter another Fonic number (presumably your existing number) on registration, then you'll have 15 euro credit total. That way you won't really lose anything by having a second SIM, though you will have to wait a couple of days for the extra 5 euro to show up. You'll get 5 euro credit on your other Fonic SIM, so the net cost will be less than simply adding the tariff again to your existing account.

Can you advice me, which is better in Frankfurt?
(speaking, and mobile net...)

You mean which operator provides better coverage or faster data speeds than O2 (on which Lidl is based)?

arkada · **Lidl or Ja!/Penny -** 11-03-2013, 05:16

Hello,
Please help me to decide!
I’m trying to choose between Lidl and Ja!/PennyMobil.
Ja! and Penny both are based on Telekom and have a better 3G coverage especially near Austria.
So they may provide a faster internet in that area.
Ja! and Penny don’t require an address confirmation.
The only advantage of Lidl I see is the VoIP support.
But this issue on Ja! And Penny may be solved by using VPN.
Is it correct?
Thank you.

Lidl and Fonic have had a series of problems lately that make them hard to recommend any more. You might also consider Edeka mobil, which has the same price structure, but runs on Vodafone.
