Hi Lemmy.
I would like to get hands on some SIM for my laptop. I reside in Germany so roaming would be required.
Anyhow, I do not want to pay some amount x every months or four weeks. Instead I would like to have some old school SIM where I can use my data until its gone. 4G speed and 5 GB would be plenty.
Anyone knows of such a SIM from within your country?
Cheers.
Check Italian mobile providers like i.e. https://www.iliad.it/offerte-iliad-mobile.html
Dont know if they have this in Germany but i think they are all over europe. I have one as a backup XIPO connect 64euros for 10gb for a year of use after that you can refill or not or sooner. I use this as a backup when internet goes down at home.
If your laptop supports esim you can checkout https://esimdb.com/ which as a pretty comprehensive list. Most of these are prepaid for X months and you get Y GB of data. So could fit what you need.
There is a plan matching my needs from BNESIM!
No expiry and e.g. 5 GB would be plenty.
The perfect answer, Sir or Madam. Appreciated very much!!
I mean you could buy an AldiTalk SIM and book a package, like Daten-Paket M, 5GB for €9,99/4 weeks. Or you could use it in the basic price scheme without any package where it costs 24ct/MB, so you could charge your SIM with €1228,80 monthly and use the Internet until it is empty again.
this is hideously expensive, in poland there’s a package that gets you unlimited data in a month (mosly at lte speeds) after you spend more than 30zł in given month (a bit over 7€/mo)
I do not understand why German mobile data is so heinously expensive!
E.g. in Austria https://www.hot.at/tarife.html
The Kombi packages are actually cheaper. The AldiTalk Kombi-Paket S gives you 10GiB with 5G for 8,99€.
What’s the point of 5G if you have no internet left after watching a single 1080p movie
The point of my comment was that the AldiTalk Kombi Paket S for 8,99€ offers double the amount of data compared to the Daten Paket M mentioned by the previous commenter with the same speeds for a Euro less
5G has lower latency and higher cell capacity for the same cell tower. Speed isn’t the only advancement. It’s better at maintaining connections while on the move (i.e. in a train) and security and privacy has been improved in a few key areas.
There’s a world of difference between an EDGE 120kbps connection and a 5G 120kbps connection.
Still, a site can weights several megabytes. The minimum for a month should be 60GB of data at least.
I get by just fine with 8-10GB per month of data+tethering. It’s no replacement for my fiber internet connection, but I don’t even know what I’d use 60GB for. Might be useful on holidays I guess?
Valid option, so thanks.
I do not like to be bound by ALDI in order to renew my SIM, though.
