Was forced to use WhatsApp a while ago and didn’t want to give Facebook my phone number.
Got a pretty cheap prepaid SIM, forced myself through the KYC, used it for close to a year without issues. Now they want me to top it up with at least 15€ to avoid cancelation. Surely there’s a cheaper way?
Edit: Looking to buy one in Germany

Hmm, you are right, it is possible that the initial activation is more difficult if you are not in NL.
I found a forum post of someome having problems with a KPN sim card, but for LycaMobile I still don’t know: https://community.kpn.com/prepaid-16/sim-card-activation-doesn-t-work-in-germany-591780
I wil be going to Germany in a few days so I will bring one of those SIM cards and check what happens when I try to activate it, I’ll report back.
That’s very helpful, thanks!
Ok! I’ll update you then 😄
