Some news from our German friends?
Old customers migrate to this plan or keep the old rates?

The original plan is NO LONGER AVAILABLE from the site. It may be available "second hand," but then you have the transfer of ownership to overcome. I still have it and have not converted. I probably will convert before I return to Germany. It costs 5 euros, I believe, to convert.
True, old customers may keep the old plan or migrate. The only advantage I can see to keeping the old plan is if you have friends or family with a SIMYO card; that rate was 4 cents / minute. That goes away in the uniform rate 9.9 cents.
Our German friends may have more to add.
At the time I bought the card (several years ago, maybe even 3), it was among the lowest rates AND I was able to select a number with the last 4 digits exactly as the home phone # -- easy to remember.
Somewhat off topic.....
Interesting article on teltarif today about T-MO boss Obermann threatening to lower rates. I guess he has been asleep for the last 18 months or so.
Again, perhaps our German friends will add their "pfennige".
