If you encounter any problems with your German sim card, you should reach out to the customer service of your respective provider. A few things can only be corrected through the phone and the customer service personnel is also happy to answer any questions you might have about using your sim card in Germany. Usually, all employees speak English as well.
The fastest way to contact customer service is through the support hotlines. However, be aware that you could encounter long wait times (up to 30 minutes) or automatic machine menus in German. If you choose to call one of the hotlines, it is advisable to ask a German-speaking friend to help you. If you choose to write an email, you might only receive a reply after a few weeks.
Note that you need to be a current customer to benefit from this service. If you are looking to order a sim card, please read our overview.
