Germany | Tchibo underbidding competitors: data-flat for €20 + 500MB-pack for € 10

Yes, in general prepaid tariffs - no matter if data or voice - are cheaper in Germany than postpaid ones. The only reason why postpaid still makes sense is, that you get subsidized hardware and some online retailers even pay out a part of their borkarage. I, for instance, do have an o2 active data tariff including flatrate a a discounted rate of € 20/month, for which I was additionally given a Huawei E169 USB-modem for free and € 300 in cash when signing the 2-years-contract.

back to topic: It's still unclear if Tchibo's data tariff will be available for all SIM cards or if it will be limited to the one sold with their USB-modem.
