Hi guys, I'm looking to use this sim for a 4-week trip in Europe. I'll be starting in the UK & ending in Germany so first question is can things like credit be added and the Cross Europe Roaming Package (CERP) be added away from the "home" network of Germany? Ie, could it be done upon arrival in the UK?

Secondly, has the lag with adding credit/activating the CERP etc improved? Would be a deal breaker to arrive in the UK, add credit, wait up to  days for it to show, add the CERP then wait up to another 2 days for it to activate.

Finally, this would suggest that the best option would actually be to add the credit & then the CERP before I leave, so that it's actually up & running before I arrive in Europe. As my trip is about 4 weeks, I could actually do this before I leave Australia, and presumably it would be up & running by the time I arrive in London. But this obviously raises two further issues:  first, although the Ortel website has an English option, is the account still only in German? I don't fancy trying to sort that out online via the account page in German. And second, I would obviously need confirmation that the credit had been added, before I add the CERP. Would I be able to receive these confirmation texts in Australia, if I loaded the sim here to check?

Cheers
