That's exactly why the pre-purchase of German (or European) SIM Cards is not recommended on this WIKI. Credit Card approval is a hit-and-miss and even PayPal wants to see your delivery address to coincide with the given address nowadays, though recharges normally work. So the safest bet is to purchase the SIM Card on location. You can go to e.g. to ebay.de and choose another provider. They sell Fonic, blau, ortel, Lyca, Lebara or the major operators there and deliver it for a surcharge to your home country, but not Aldi. Again, better buy it in Germany in a store. If you want to stick with Aldi, take some scissors, a template or a cutting device (from ebay) with you as swapping SIM Cards doesn't make sense for a shor stay. All SIM Cards are sold unregistered. They Need to be registered online on your name. This procedure is explained in the Basics section above.
