Vodafone has no sense at all, unless you plan to visit other countries where they have their network, but if you plan to visit many countries there are other better solutions, IMHO.
I really think it's not a problem to get an Aldi card, or maybe a Tchibo (more expensive, but Tchibo stores are usually in the center of every German city, so very easy to find).

Well, you can buy the starter kits with locked phones for the same price as the pure SIM-card if you go for the special offers in the shop (as i already wrote before - in our local store "Kaufland" supermarket they always have one simple phone with card for below 20 Euro). So it can be an option too and later on throw the phone on ebay...
I dont know how easy it is for a non german speaking person to activate the ALDI sim on the hotline (they cant do it in the store). The Tchibo is more easy as they fill in the form together with you in the shop.
