ALDI Talk!

OR: Where to buy a cell phone contract? At the grocery store, of course!


Roland: With a population of 82 Million people - and probably just as many cell phones - competition is extremely fierce on the German market. Hence, even some of the supermarket chains offer their own cell phone contracts.

After thorough internet research I went to the next ALDI store and purchased a SIM card for €15 ($20). The package already includes a credit of €10 to consume during the first month. The monthly fee for 300 minutes of airtime and 300 MB of data costs €7.95 ($10.50), and the contract can be cancelled at any time! Additional roaming is available for purchase online using your cell phone and at €5 per week!

Setting the phone up was a easy as pie, and two hours later the phone was activated. Sometimes life can be very simple (and cheap)!
