On the billing, I'm confused by the terminology. In the Germany pages, they talk about billing and have notations like 1/1 or 60/30. But in the France pages, they refer to a "Debiting Method" which I assume is the same thing?
And I'm guessing that 60/60 denotes billing per second? So if you do have a 75 second call, you get billed for 75 seconds, not 2 minutes?

Aldi Talk. Yes, only there and in Aldi stores.
Debiting same as billing. The first # is for the first minute and is in seconds. The second # is for subsequent minutes and also in seconds.
So with 60/60 the 75 second call is indeed billed as 2 minutes.
You can buy SIMYO or SUNSIM, among others, online in advance SHIPPED TO A GERMAN address like a hotel. You will know your # in advance.
If there will be more trips to other locations, the international SIM may be better IN THE LONG RUN (meaning next trips). I think the local SIMs may be the way to go if it will be just this once or just this once for quite some time. Of course I don't believe any of the internationals have UMTS service yet.
Bon voyage.
