What are the rates?** A: I believe this card does provide data services but do not know the exact rates (and given that I used in back in Dec. 2012, those rates might not be accurate anymore). I recall that the amount originally on the card seemed like it would be plenty for me to make lots of calls during my week stay (to a relative who lived in Germany), but found that the funds ran out pretty quickly. So, I'm guessing even the talk usage rate was pretty high (and therefore suspect the data rate would be very expensive too). **Q: does it work in any phone** A: It did not work in the the blu phone that amazon sold with it, and by the time I got home 30 days were up and amazon would not give a refund. In Germany I went to a E-plus store and bought a new bluworld sim card 9.90E W/500 min.call time which did not work in the amazon phone. The E-plus store sent to a cheap phone store around the corner and they sold me a Samsung GT-E1081T phone unlocked that worked fine in Germany and Austria I think it cost less than 25.00E **Q: Can I use this Sim card in France or any other Europe country?** A: No, this SIM card is for use in Germany only. **Q: Is there a way to get this SIM pre-activated? I am not going to be traveling to Germany for a few months, but need to use the SIM before I arrive. Your warning says not to activate outside of Germany. If this has changed, and I can activate from the U.S., please let me know. Otherwise, can you activate before sending?…** A: You cannot, at least not with a new SIM. The very first time it connects with the network needs to be in Germany on the Ortel network. If you need to use a SIM before you arrive, call Cellular Abroad and ask them to send you a used one. Be aware that you will be roaming and the rates are higher than if you were in Germany. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Never worked quite right *by M***W on December 18, 2013* I do not speak German and would say this is a requirement for this product. The cad did work for several calls, but then stopped and I could not fix it. ### ⭐⭐ It was one of the best sim cards for roaming inside Europe *by F***. on November 26, 2016* It was one of the best sim cards for roaming inside Europe. Excellent 9 cent/minute rate and good data plans but now all is over. In fact, beginning from September, they decided the minimum top up must be 15 euros every six months. I will ditch mine as soon as the credit dries up, then will move to the better Tellink Roaming Sim, still the best option out there for European roaming plus other 40 countries. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 16 digit code *by C***R on April 12, 2013* Directions say a few time to enter at 16 digit code? I do not see a 16 digit number anywhere on the card of sim card...or directions. Can someone tell me where to find it. I am leaving for Europe on the 25th of April.Thanks! I technically can not rate the product because I have not used it yet. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/43362492-german-prepaid-sim-card](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/43362492-german-prepaid-sim-card) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
