Got a new (used?) Riiing card off Ebay Germany and UM transferred my 29 Euro balance on the lost card to the new card. Have not verified that yet on the phone, but their help desk responded to my email request.

Sold the Malta Go card on Ebay for a pittance. Took a big loss, considering I have have the card for 2 years and had to refill twice at 18 LM ($60). Overall, apart from the convenience and security of having an easy way to call my boys/family, the deal was a financial bust. Wife might want to return to Malta another time, but not next year. That would mean another $60, possibly twice that until she returns. NOT WORTH IT.

Sold one of the T-Mobile Germany cards for about what is is worth. Can't complain about my usage on that card. Had it for 3 years. Apart from the boys making international calls and daytime calls @ 79 ecents on it to run down the balance prematurely, I am pleased.

Will be trying to sell the other D1 card, too, along with some refills.

Next time I go or wife goes, we MAY be looking to update and buy one or more German cards. This time (August) I could not see purchasing another card just to "feed" it for a year or two.
