Other Information

Buying A Phone Number

• Aldi Talk is the cheapest, but if you still expect to travel a lot, Vodafone or O2 is your best bet.
• Phone Number needs to be activated, the last time someone used Vodafone there seems to be a bit of a problem activating online (system changed from last year), activating at a post office might be your best bet here. Buying a phone number directly from a mobile phone shop is impossible because of corona rules.

Emergency Numbers

• Police: 110
• Ambulance: 112
• Find a doctor: 116 117

If you are sick, just call 116 117 and request an appointment with a general practitioner (Keyword: akute Behandlung beim Hausartzt). Then go to the appointment bringing your insurance certificate with you.
