After reading this excellent German entrance, I ordered a Congstar sim at Amazon.de (the German site of Amazon). I just paid €5.49 for the card (containing €5 credit plus another €5 bonus, which is given after activation of the card) + €0.77 for shipping (I live in the Netherlands). The vendor (Handynarr in Siegen) immediately sent me an e-mail, only minutes after ordering, in which they asked for (1) my date of birth and (2) my mail address. These two are necessary for the activation of the sim. The date of birth is typically something Congstar demands as some sort of ID. Handynarr (German for: Mobile Phone Jester) filled out these two and added their shop's own address in Siegen as my German residence. Foreign addresses are not recognized on the Congstar website. Minutes later I received a mail from Congstar with a login and a temporary password, welcoming me as a new client. The sim itself, already activated, arrived by mail two days later.
