Mobile phone provider Blauworld has cut rates for accessing the internet via GPRS or UMTS by cell phone. From now on, Blauworld only charges EUR 0.49 per megabyte for accessing the internet over the network of operator E-Plus instead of EUR 9.00 as before. This sounds like a great bargain for new and existing customers of Blauworld, however, in comparison to tariffs of other German discount providers this price for using the mobile internet is still expensive. Customers of other brands using the E-Plus network such as Aldi Talk, Blau or Simyo only pay EUR 0.24 per megabyte – that’s less than half of it.

The prepaid starter package of Blauworld is available for EUR 9.90 and includes a SIM card and calling credit of EUR 10.00. Blauworld offers mobile phone calls and voice mail within Germany for EUR 0.15 per minute and SMS for EUR 0.15 per message. When having topped up new calling credit Blauworld subscribers receive extra minutes for free calls to other Blauworld users.

With a Blauworld SIM card users can also make international calls from Germany to other countries. For mobile phone calls to other member states of the European Union Blauworld charges between EUR 0.05 and 0.29 per minute. Mobile phone calls to the United States and Canada cost EUR 0.07 per minute. For all international calls Blauworld charges an additional connection fee of EUR 0.15 per call.
