I would not recommend this as here is what I went through today and would not get past step 1 without a fluent German and video cell phone access in hand. First have your helper read the included insruction page that the sim is attached to and follow instructions. You need your passport, good video connection, an address in Germany(I used my hotel) and patience…mine took a few hours to process. Also, after you install your sim and get your email from them (wifi access or other email access required)you need to power off and on your phone and enter one of the PIN numbers at the bottom of the instruction sheet. The federal law now requires approval of your passport with your presence by video or the Post office. This step happens at the end and takes about 20 mins

Even in 2016 it still works. You just need the telephone number and the SIM card number on the letter glued the sim of the €12.99 starter pack. In the address field, you must put in a valid address consisting of street name, house number, post code, province. Then they ask whether you want to port your old number ignore that. They should have chosen the starter plan for you. Package 600 with 600 MiB and 1.5 GB.

The answer: Yes, at least in 2013. I bought the ALDI Talk SIM in Germany in summer 2013. It was one of those regular SIMs with a detachable micro SIM, so after popping out the micro SIM, it worked fine in my Nexus 4. I registered with the online form (and some help from Google Translate) and put in my hotel address and it activated fine.

Registration can be done via an online form, and as far as I’ve heard it only checks that the address exists.

According to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jz2Sic7kUAo the Aldi Talk starter set now contains a SIM card that consists of a Micro SIM and a plastic frame.
