I'll be travelling for the day to Cologne in just over a week and will probably pick up a microsim. The T-mobile tariffs seem the best ones so I'll probably pick one of those up (also I know there's a T-mobile shop a short walk from Köln Hbf).

Question: It says on the T-Mobile site that you get 2 free days of use when you buy the €9.95 card. Do you have to use the two days immediately or can you use them when you want? I'd usually assume it does the two days post activation but the "inklusive 10,- € Startguthaben" suggests it might be otherwise.

Also, do you renew via an interface on the iPad or do you have to call up and top up credit etc? We're planning a Ski-trip to Austria early next year and since we'll be doing most of the driving in Germany, I'd like to use the sim in a mifi or something for the passengers in the car to stay connected for the journey.
