Aldi Talk (also known as MEDIONmobile and ALDImobile[1]) is a mobile virtual network operator in Germany, Australia and the Netherlands. In Germany, it uses the Telefónica network (since 2014; before, it used E-Plus). In Australia it uses Telstra. In the Netherlands, it uses KPN. On April 7, 2017, it was announced that Aldi Talk would cease all operations in Belgium by June 6.[2] The cause of this decision was the coming in to effect of an anti-terrorism measure taken by the Belgian government, banning the sale and use of anonymous SIM cards, instead requiring the mobile operators to identify and register each of their clients.[3] Because Aldi Talk did not have the necessary capabilities to perform these tasks, a decision was taken to cease all operations in Belgium.[4]
