The Wacken Hot Tub (General Chat)

I think with all the people being there in the fields the internet is completely overcrowded so it doesn't really work.

Yeah that's true. Sometimes I've had difficulties getting a text through so I can imagine how the internet is. o.o

Might be a weird day at work today... Half of the school is not there At least it'll be easier.

I wish I could say half of our customers won't be working today, that would be really great

Heh, last year, hamburg.com got hold of me for their Wacken video. Maybe this year I should try getting into the official wacken video

Thanks I'll take a look on ebay if it looks legit, if not I should be able to find that when I'll get in Hamburg

And make sure it's not O2! That's one of the worst providers! Unlike in America, you cannot be roaming in your "own" country! Take either T Mobile (D1) or Vodafone (D2)! I don't know about E-Plus, but to my knowledge, these 2 are the best!

 

[dishayu]

Maybe yes



Not sure how it would work, I get a sim card so a phone number I guess? And how do they charge me ?

Probably a prepaid thingy?

I would guess that too but if it's the case I didn't know we could have internet on a prepaid phone. I don't think I ever had a prepaid before

But why do you need internet? And I'd guess you can't have internet on prepaid. Maybe.

If I want a way of communication with some of you through the forum, unless I get phone numbers to be able to text message instead

I think this is where I should pitch in.

Unless your phone is carrier locked (or CDMA), you can buy a GSM sim card with mobile data on it (you can send/receive normal SMS/Calls too). I got a Lebara sim last year for 20 Euros at Hamburg airport, which came with 2 gigs of data (30 day validity). One of my German friends said that I could have spent half of that if I bought a simcard at stores called "Aldi", but I haven't had a chance to verify this yet.

The WiFi areas at Wacken are extremely congested, but they're definitely good enough for text based apps (Whatsapp/Viber etc) with some patience.

It was actually surprisingly good for me. One of my friends, who's a massive fan of Immolation literally begged me to stream it for him and he could just about watch it live with some stuttering. Audio stream was reportedly without issues.
