At the moment, mobile phone provider Tchibo Mobil sells cell phone packages for prices of 14 or 15 euros. The packages are available at the Tchibo online store and do not just include a new cell phone with basic features for the casual user, but also a prepaid SIM card. Buyers can choose between Alcatel E105, Alcatel E259, Nokia 1200, Nokia 1208, Motorola C123, Motorola W230 and Sagem my200c. All these phones come with a SIM lock and can only be used with a SIM card by Tchibo Mobil. Tchibo charges additional 4.95 euros for shipping. The cell phone cheapies may be sold out soon.

These basic feature phones are suited for people looking for a second mobile phone at a cheap price, for example people from other countries travelling Germany or being on business abroad. These users can save money by making mobile phone calls within Germany with the Tchibo Mobil phone rather than calling with the mobile phone of their home provider and being charged expensive roaming fees.

With a prepaid SIM card by Tchibo Mobil mobile phone users can make domestic calls for 15 cents per minute while calls to other Tchibo Mobil connections cost 5 cents per minute. Checking voice mail is for free. For domestic SMS Tchibo Mobil charges 15 cents. Tchibo Mobil uses the network of o2 Germany.
