Hello, I bought a Fonic SIM card from germansimcard.com.
it is running well so far but the 20 € of credit will expire in a few day and I don't know which recharge to buy. Does the O2 recharge work or should I buy Fonic? They are the same company or not?

I am just pissed at those germans right now. I wasted 55 bucks on stuff that doesn't work.

First i bought a so called surfstick from o2 to acces the internet from my laptop, the stick was 15 Euro and on the box it said to get 15 euros free when topping up 15 euros. so i bought another 15 euro worth top up card. The next morning i tried the stick, everything worked until i actually clicked on connecting, it always said can't start up the internet device. i already cashed the 15 euro top up card, so that i can book the monthly plan, because it said it is neccessary to do that first. By the way, no free 15 euros, so that's a lie right there. Then i just couldn't connect to the internet, the text messaging worked and the card worked in the iphone, just not in the stupid stick like it's supposed to. Of course i can't return it, because the sim card was already activated.
30 Euros for nothing.

That was yesterday, today i went and bought a congstar prepaid sim, to use with the iphone. Again paid 9,99 for the card and bought another 15 euro top up card, activated the card online, and here u go, the iphone says no service, it works with a t mobile card, but i read congstar is cheaper and uses the t mobile network so i bought one, well that didn't work out. I tried selecting carrier manually, it doesn't show congstar.
This time i didn't top up before i tried out the card, but of course those top up cards aren't returnable.

All that money together i could have just used the t mobile card i already have and which works, but i tried to get something cheaper.

Now i have to get more money on the t mobile card and then gonna spend another at least 50 bucks on one of those surfsticks from another company.

Germany SUCKS. I am so happy when i am back in the USA
