No, it will not.

Other than UK, Germany maintains a mandatory registration system for all inhabitants. Every inhabitant is obliged to register his/her address at the local registration office, and provide a written confirmation from the landlord that he/she actually lives there.

Hi Boff,
I’ve been wandering around in the Eifel and Mosel last week. Met a Dutch ‘collegue’ overthere. Became friends (Dutch and Flemish have more in common than the language LOL).
He did have the German WIFI-system as described. He bought it Kleve and put in the adress of the tourist office overthere for registration: it was OK for registering with Aldi-talk.
But his system works! All the adds I made last week on this forum went through his stick (I paid him off with a few bottles of ‘Dornfelder’ –gloriuous red wine- ).
I must admid: I didn’t buy the stick (yet) for they where sold out in the local Aldi’s. Now I realise that Aldi sells ‘Aldi talk’ in Belgium too. This leaves me with a big ?? I will have to do a little research in that matter I guess
Yours,
Leo

Then probably they did not realize that it was a fake address. Yet. But sooner or later they will run their addresses through a plausibility check, and then the account will be cancelled without prior warning and without any refund.

P.S: I know about Flemish and Dutch. While I am a German citizen, I live and work in Netherlands.
