Freenet Funk: Mobile Service and LTE Flat Rate for One Euro a Day | heise online

Freenet’s new mobile tariff can be booked and cancelled on a daily basis. For one euro per day, you get a genuine LTE flat rate – but there is a catch.

I use an o2 prepaid SIM as a fallback in case our internet provider goes down. That costs me €5 for 24 hours including 25 GB. In principle, this new Freenet tariff would be the cheaper solution.

As far as I understand it, however, Freenet only allows you to pause the service for 14 days at a time.

That makes the o2 prepaid SIM more attractive again: it only needs a tiny top-up every six months to keep it “alive”.

Magenta Mobil: Mobile Operators’ Tariffs All Look the Same

First it was mobile operator O2, or rather Telefónica, that named its tariff portfolio after the company colour, simply calling it “Blue”. In October 2012 Vodafone followed with its Red tariffs. And now guess what Deutsche Telekom plans to unveil at IFA 2014?

Exactly! They plan to rename their tariff portfolio after that wonderfully pretty, unmistakable and terribly intrusive colour, magenta. More on the new Magenta Mobile tariffs can be found, among other places, at Teltarif via the following link.

Product Review: The o2 Signal Box S – 3G Reception Without an Existing 3G Network

Who hasn’t experienced it: no or poor mobile reception in an important place, such as at home or in the office. Often you have to go outside to make a call or stand with the phone pressed to your ear against a window. Incoming calls are also difficult to receive unless the phone is constantly kept in a spot with at least some reception.
