WANT TO BUY: valid German D1 SIM

snaimon · *Last edited by snaimon; 19-03-2008 at 18:51..*

Going there this summer. Prefer NATIVE T-Mobile with NONSTOP tarif. Would like to transfer ownership to myself. Would pay with PayPal.

I am told shipping costs to USA from Germany are:

To 20 gr 1,70 euro
To 50 gr 2,00 euro

(Arimail letter, no insurance).

Not sure how much a letter with SIM and documentation would weigh. I would pay a bit extra for your trouble.

I have been looking on EBAY.DE and there are some sellers who will sell to USA. I have unsuccessfully bid on 2 registered cards (seller would send me info to transfer ownership). My bid of a card with a tiny balance was 2.99 Euros.

I had extensive email contact with another seller. He has had several recent auctions for single "VIP" (ha, ha) numbers and multiple numbers in sequence for families starting at 1 Euro - end without a bid.

I am looking to pay a total of 6 - 7 Euros for this card. I am guessing the new price with a 5 Euro starting balanace will be 10 - 20 Euros.

There is currently a D1 card on EBAY USA with a balance of ~ 4 Euros and I am considering that. One bid at $0.99 + $5 shipping but will require a fee of 4.95 Euros to transfer from Xtra to NONSTOP.

Any offers?

Thanks,

Stan

If it's useful, when I bought my SIM last September, the standard charge was 20 euros (including 10 euros of prepaid time) but there was a special on when I was there and I only had to pay 10 euros, including 10 euros of time.

Jim,

Thank you.

I believe the current INTERNET offer is the same. However, I doubt they will let me sign up/deliver to a foreign address. I would rather not chance spending 20 euros for a 10 euro balance. TRUE, I might be lucky and they cahrge 10 for a 10 balance. I would rather take my chances on a low/no balance card under 7 euros now.
