• No problem with SIM purchase

  Anyone can buy a German SIM card, you don't need to be a resident for that.

• Cheap SIM-Card

  There is a new mobile provider www.simyo.de
  
  I guess, - current the cheapest SIM-Card provider by shopping via www.
  If you like to get one personally, i recommend you this 1000 of Tchibo-shops in all cities. Check shops and tarif at www.tchibo.de

• SIM Cards.

  It´s not correct, you have to register all German Cards.
  The only one without registering is the globalsim international Mobile SIM-Card, form globalsim.net.
  I have one and can make calls international without roamingcosts.

• Phone Calls

  Coming from the States, a cheaper way to call the US from Germany (about $0.029/min) is www.ixp.net/nsylla click on "IXP Voice" for rates.

• SIM Cards/ Phones

  Under the German Fernmeldegesetz all telephones must be registered to an address and German bank account.
  
  In November 2005 I noticed that ProMarkt and MediaMarkt and Saturn now have notices that telephones are sold on the basis that a German ID Card or a Passport and Meldebescheinigung are presented at point-of-sale.
  
  This means that the German Mobile operators are limiting the discount deals on their networks to those actually legally resident in Germany.
