And if it did, it would most certainly cost much more than making a call from a locally purchased sim card in Germany, etc. --- Open your eyes. Free your mind. Touch lives. Sink into the different.

Maybe you can also use the cell without sim for emergency calls with the number 112, you have to try that.
