In Germany, you can get them basically anywhere. Quoting an impressive article I just looked at, you get them at a "big supermarket, drugstore, service station or electronic market chains". And of course in the stores of network providers. One of these should easily be found in or around all major train stations. For reference: http://prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/Germany | ||

I got stuck with a sim from a company that had a great roaming deal on their German website, but apparently had a completely different and much less attractive deal in Switzerland, which is unfortunately where I bought one. I'm sure that was obvious to everyone but me, but anyway. | ||

Don't do that! contrary to popular belief, it is very hard to get some decent prepaid sim package in most of europe countries, due to telecom business is tightly linked to government/infrastructure. UK/Ireland are the 'easiest' countries you can get nice disposable cheap prepaid sim package (france/spain to certain extend but language) | ||

Apparently I can use in swiss and Italy too, so I just need to get another card for Germany and Holland. Its probably overpriced since I don't need 12 gig data, but that's what they had. Whatever haha. I thought 3 should cover Germany? Germany gave me the biggest headache when it comes to the 'disposable traveler simcard' aspect. Just use the £5 per day service if you need it for a full day etc. And that's why 3 has been great for recent years, nobody does allowance data like them lol (others allow like 500mb-2gb). Have a great trip!! | ||
