Registration FAQ
How does it work?

As of 01.01.2019, according to the Telecommunications Act*, WOWWW! prepaid cards must be registered before activation. For this purpose, data of the SIM card owner** will be collected for identification purposes before activation or activation. Activation of the WOWWW! prepaid card without registration is no longer possible from this date.
All WOWWW! prepaid card customers who activated or activated their WOWWW! Wertkarte by Dec. 31, 2018, must register no later than when their balance is topped up after Sept. 01, 2019.”
