Several German mobile phone providers have released information about their mobile data tariffs dedicated to the iPad which will hit Apple stores in Germany on May 28th.

Getting a new landline is pretty expensive, using call-through services is quite complicated – thus, two adequate alternatives for making international calls at low rates are not available to many phone users. Another way to make phone calls from Germany to other countries in the world at comparably low rates is to buy a prepaid SIM card of a German discount provider specialized in international calls. They offer cell phone plans with which mobile phone users can call family members, friends or acquaintances for rates beginning at EUR 0.09 per minute. However, prices vary and interested parties should select their prepaid starter package carefully.

Some DSL and home phone packages of German providers such as Alice, Congstar and O2 Germany come with a minimum term of four or six weeks. The DSL packages include at least an analog landline and a DSL connection with a flat rate tariff for web access. Sometimes a flat rate tariff for landline calls to other home phones in Germany is already included as well.

That is why in some cases the following overview of the Phone Guide Germany shows two prices for one DSL package.

Some mobile phone providers in Germany offer prepaid price plans with flat rate tariffs for a 30-day use period. With such a flat rate option prepaid cell phone users can make unlimited calls to German home phones. They can book and cancel the flat rate option as needed. Prices for such flat rate options range between 10 and 15 euros. Alternatively, some mobile phone providers also offer community flat rate tariffs to their prepaid cell phone plans. With a community flat rate, the user can make unlimited mobile phone calls to other customers of their own mobile phone provider to a flat fee of 3 or 4 euros per month.
