Decided to try something else, in this case a SIM from Blau.de

Registration was a little bumpy, but we got the Post Ident done after all. OK, so I can use this now to browse the web, right? Wait, not so fast.

Took over an hour before I received two files I needed to install. There is no mention of any of this on the website. Apparently APN settings telling your phone how to connect to the Internet. No valid APN, no Internet.

About to throw the sh*t away because it was literally slow enough to count the bits. Then came those files and for a brief moment a working connection; which decided to go dead again, without me changing anything.

Checking phone settings again, requesting, installing files again, no fun. Plus, phone number says *******. Appears that sort of joke has been around for years. The web is full of reports, no fixes though. Switched off the phone, factory reset, tried again, no no.

End of experiment.
Blau? Never again!

First: This review applies to lycamobile.de

Ordering a SIM December 19 2018 -- Delivery took over two weeks, finally arriving January 4 2019. Silly me having had it topped with 30 Euros right away.

There is no way to activate the damn thing online. Help menu has a reference, but that only opens a shop finder, which returns exactly two shops in my region - the Indian way I presume.

However, while both sell the crap, neither does registration. Support is a joke. First mail took over 24 hours to get a dumb reply. Calling support was equally fun.

First call confirmed two shops, but said one of them had registered a card on December 5 2018. Back again to the shop, no registration nowhere. Calling support again, and was told there were many shops in other places.

Yeah, and I believe they have booze in China too. How stupid is that? Do they really expect me to spent time and money to travel around trying to register a silly SIM? Already wasted most of Saturday and a little over 10 Euros. For that I could have bought any other SIM, plus credit, plus register, plus...

Screw Lyca! That's just about as rubbish as it can go. Every fart has its own website, every other phone company provides online registration via Post Ident or similar. But Lyca? Nope. Definitely off my list, and recommending only NOT to use.

ThaiCupid is utterly useless. Consists primarily bots and scammers. Three hits out of thousands of fakes. One of those turned funny, so I blocked her, the other played shy, before finally deciding it was time her mother needed an operation. Sure honey.

That left me with exactly ONE contact. Thus far she's talking and behaving like a charming, kind person would. Zero fuzz regarding bills or hospital fees. Pity, she's not exactly my type, but we get along well, she's funny, and a real human being. Fair enough.

If you are serious about finding a decent; and honest; Thai wife, don't even think about wasting time and money on this site or anything else foo-bar-cupid. Instead, learn some basic Thai, get your butt over there, and stay a month -- preferably as far away from Bangkok, Phuket, etc, as possible.

Summary: This is a hoax! Fraud, if you prefer.
