About Aufladen.de
Aufladen.de is a German online shop for prepaid codes: mobile top-ups for German carriers such as Vodafone, Telekom and O2, paysafecard codes from €5 to €100, and gift cards and game cards for digital stores. The site is run by RLN.com B.V. in Rotterdam, the company formerly known as Alphacomm Digital Commerce, which has sold prepaid credit online since 2003 and also operates opwaarderen.nl, herladen.be and Reloadnow.com. Prices are in euros and the code is delivered by email right after payment, in most reports within seconds. Aufladen.de adds a service fee per order that depends on the product and the payment method and shows it at checkout before you pay; PayPal carries an extra charge on top. Payment options are PayPal, Klarna (including pay later where Klarna offers it), Sofortüberweisung and credit card. No account is needed, and there is no mobile phone billing option. The shop is aimed at buyers in Germany who want credit on a phone or a paysafecard PIN without going to a kiosk, and the site, help pages and 0800 phone support are in German.
