    Going on Wednesday,left it a bit late, but is there anyway to get one when I arrive. I'm Kerry, and leaving from here so won't be able to pick up in Dublin or elsewhere. In Germany as far as I know it's normally a much more complicated procedure than here. So has anyone ever picked one up on a visit. Not that important and wouldn't pay a premium.
    thanks

    You can buy the main networks in mobile shops. Take your passport. They registered me at my home address - I was rather surprised that the Vodafone Germany website had a full UK postcode search.

    It would be worth looking at various mvno SIMs though, and I don't know if for example Blauworld (excellent international rates) is available in shops. Sunsim and a new one Youni look cheap for Germany, and could be used with calling cards or other callthrough

    If you end up with one of the main operators, note that 0800 calls are free in most cases, so calling cards might be possible. This would need quite a bit of research though, as some of the cheapest are blocked
