Apologies for the delay in approving one of your posts. The forum is set to sometimes pre-moderate posts by new users, but I thought the strictest setting was only for people adding a link in their post. And it took a while to notice ...

German networks do maintain the credit associated with the account, and will refund it on request, but some seem to reserve the right to cut the SIM off if it's not used for a time.

I don't know exactly what O2 policy is on this, and one of our German members can advise, but I would guess you might be able get the old credit transferred to a new SIM. This might be more trouble than it's worth if there's only a Euro or so there.

Fonic or Lidl would be fine in Germany, but I don't know about their roaming options.

Another possibly useful option is that eplus and some of the brands on it, such as Aldi, have an interesting data roaming bundle of 50 or 60 (Aldi) MB for €5 for a week
