Default Go with ALDI, or if not, Blau - 12-03-2007, 11:02

I'd go with ALDI Talk, because ALDI is ubiquitous and the card also offers cheap national calls (14 cents, and 4 cents between ALDI Talk users, if you're travelling in a group), and most importantly for data, UMTS access.

Alternatively, Blau is available at electronic stores like Saturn and Media Markt and has the same data rate (though national and Blau-to-Blau calls are slightly more, at 16 and 6 cents), but no UMTS.

International calls are, unfortunately, a ripoff with both Blau and Aldi Talk (2 euros per minute) and you will want Blauworld for that (9 cents/min to Canada); you can get it at the same places regular Blau SIMs are for sale (however, Blauworld has expensive data, sigh.)

There are no different settings for UMTS; they are the same as GSM, although you will obviously need an UMTS phone. The APN is wap.eplus.de - there's no reall difference in settings between E-Plus offers (which is what Blau, Simyo, ALDI Talk, etc. are).
