  • No problem with SIM purchase

    Anyone can buy a German SIM card, you don't need to be a resident for that.

  • Cheap SIM-Card

    There is a new mobile provider www.simyo.de

    I guess, - current the cheapest SIM-Card provider by shopping via www.
    If you like to get one personally, i recommend you this 1000 of Tchibo-shops in all cities. Check shops and tarif at www.tchibo.de

  • SIM Cards.

    It´s not correct, you have to register all German Cards.
    The only one without registering is the globalsim international Mobile SIM-Card, form globalsim.net.
    I have one and can make calls international without roamingcosts.

  • Phone Calls

    Coming from the States, a cheaper way to call the US from Germany (about $0.029/min) is www.ixp.net/nsylla click on "IXP Voice" for rates.

  • SIM Cards/ Phones

    Under the German Fernmeldegesetz all telephones must be registered to an address and German bank account.

    In November 2005 I noticed that ProMarkt and MediaMarkt and Saturn now have notices that telephones are sold on the basis that a German ID Card or a Passport and Meldebescheinigung are presented at point-of-sale.

    This means that the German Mobile operators are limiting the discount deals on their networks to those actually legally resident in Germany.
