I recently bought a German SIM card - Talktime Vodafone- on Ebay for my
trip to Germany. It turned out to be PIN locked. I unsuccessfully tried to
unlock it. Now it requires PUK to start working. The seller doesn't
remember and unable to establish either the phone number or PIN or PUK. I
also bought a 15 euro recharge card together with this SIM. I have no doubt
this SIM card wasn't lost or stolen. Is there any solution to this
situation?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
Serge.

| i dont think so....maybe you should contact german vodafone and when you
come to germany visit one of their centres....other alternative is to buy a
new sim card when you reach germany....probably on every corner ;) keep the
recharge card and when you buy/replace the sim u will have 15EUR + what you
get with a new sim on ur account.

If the seller cannot provide it, then you are at loss.

Get a refund. Most of those ebay sold SIM cards are sold at a
very high premium to what you can buy them at in the country of
question. Unless you really need one that badly right when you get off
the plane, it's not worth messing around with those, so do as someone
else suggested and buy one there.
That being said, there is a big long number on the SIM (probably
printed very small). This is the SIM serial number and also how they
identify it in their system, whether you know the phone number or not
they should be able to look it up and give you the PUK based on that,
whether they will or not is a different question.
