Do you have any recommendations on which provider and where to buy?
Danke.
Itīs a two step purchase:
1.) Firstly check if you phone is really simlock free.
2.) Then the purchase of a prepaid card is very easy. There are many providers in Germany specialized on international phone calls for all wanting not loosing the contact to their home country.
Contact any of the call shops which has the advertistement of Lyca, Lebara and several mobile providers in the shop window.
Prepaid cards normally cost between 10 and 15 Euros and only approx. 2-5 Euro are for the Sim Card and the phone number and the rest is credit for phoning home.
If you stay for a longer period in Germany all of the no-frills providers like simyo, blau.de and the likes are the best choice. Sorry that I am not able to provide any linkt but I donīt like the affiliate things and commissions.
So you can search your own and depending on the duration of stay a dedicated call shop will sell you a prepaid card or one of the no-frills carriers is the best way to get it.
Hope this helps.
