<div>This is turning very interesting as I travel often. My German
SIM card is useless outside German borders, no roaming, nothing. I
wonder if any of these European SIM cards are available in Germany.
It would be very nice to be able to use the same number instead of
buying and discarding them.</div>

have told me that they have to check all new accounts manually now
because of "terrorism" and pressure from French authorities. They
told me to wait 24 hours before asking about it again. For anybody
only arriving in Brussels today and buying a SIM in the evening, it
is not clear if it will really be activated over the weekend or
only next week so you may just be wasting time and
money.</blockquote>
<pre>As roaming within the EU becomes free (to a certain limit), I see
competition kicking in and you'll be able to get your European SIM card
really easy. Maybe you'll be able to preorder your Spanish or Danish SIM
card a week before the event... Next year, things will be different.
You'll see. :)
Grtz,
Jurgen.
