New voice and data roaming options for eplus-based prepaid SIM cards

[dg7feq]

Starting with June 1 there will be new roaming options for eplus-network based prepaid-SIM cards such as Simyo, Blau, Base, MyMTVMobile...

For 4,99 Euro you can get 50 minutes of in- and outgoing minutes or 50 MB of data.
Each option is valid for 7 days. After the 7 days you can book the option again or get charged at normal rates.

Details how to order and activate are not yet known.

Now that is great news! Very interesting for me.

For data it pretty much beats everything we got in here so far: http://www.prepaidgsm.net/forum/euro...-simcards.html

I assume it will be available for all EU-countries, just like their €0,49/MB offer is right now.

Thanks for sharing!

And here it is: Einfach günstig - Tarifoptionen im Ausland nutzen

Major drawback is the 100kB billing for data (and 60/60 billing for calls)

I haven't found anything on MedionMobile's website, I hope they will be participating as well!

Do you have any information on whether MEDIONmobile (being a discounter operator of E-Plus) will also offer this roaming package? I was silently hoping for it... :P

until now they did not announce it. lets see if they will react before the summer holidays where most roaming occurs...

What happens after the 50MB is used?

[inquisitor]

After consuming those 50MB the data connection is being interrupted and you may order another 50MB-pack by calling 1155 (within Germany) or 11551 (abroad) toll-free.

I tried to use the option in greece, it didnt work out. Reason: the 11551 hotline was not reachable from WIND GR (the only provider that allowes to register), also tried with the official international version +4917711551
and the web-login on the phone always told me they are in maintenance and i should use the 11551 instead...
So i used the standard rate of 49ct/MB as i didnt plan to use a lot of data anyway so was not worth searching for a greek card...

You tried with simyo, right?

I am surprised by the quality of the online self service of the German MEDIONmobile, to which I have just registered. It looks sophisticated! (Unlike the Dutch and Belgian MEDIONmobile operators which smell very cheap and have no online service at all)
