How did you find a Tchibo stick on a Sunday?

OK. That's why I say here resellers are a bit tricky to activate for non-Germans. It's not banned as a non-resident. We don't want to make it too here easy for you:-)

I activated some weeks ago a Tchibo mobile SIM so I know. But you could have read the section about Tchibo mobile in O2 article. There is the link for activation and here again: https://mobilfunk.tchibo.de/hilfe-services/sim-freischaltung/. Try to use the desktop, not the mobile version. You need 2 numbers written on the card tray and the date when you bought the SIM at Tchibo.

Tchibo is strictly prepaid. You can link it to a German bank account. But this is not a must. You can use vouchers instead. Take care that Tchibo sends you a welcome letter to the given German postal address. So take your real address in Germany and take care that this letter is not returned to sender as unknown.

If you can't handle this online registration, you can register over the phone Mon-Fri 8am-10pm.at the number given in the article.
