So you could assume that you will also be billed € 0.12/min or € 0.29/min for calls to other EU countries. However this would violate EU roaming regulation which caps outgoing calls to EU countries at € 0.24/min which will be further lowered from July 1st to € 0.19/min. Against that background the wording "otherwise 11ct/min" could indeed include all EU destinations.
By the way, according to teltarif.de these new EU tariffs will also apply in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland.

Alditalk clearly states that wherever they mention "EU" this means countries from their "EU-Länder" list: http://www.alditalk.de/sued/hilfe_un...03.06.2013.pdf. Although no modification of the list is expected, there is however at this moment no official confirmation that Switzerland will stay in the list. While all EU operators are obliged to respect the EU price caps for Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland, there is no such obligation for Switzerland.

To the EU caps of € 0.24/min and € 0.19/min one has to add the VAT of the country in which the operator is resident. In the case of Alditalk 19%. That is why currently they charge € 0.28/min. From July on they will have to lower it to 0.22/min or less.

At the moment Alditalk 7 day 60 minute EU package is only valid for outgoing calls to Germany (Enthalten sind: abgehende Gespräche aus dem EU-Ausland nach Deutschland und ankommende Gespräche im EU-Ausland): http://www.aldi-nord.de/print/aldita...er_2013_10.pdf . The charging interval within the package is 60/60 instead of 30/1 without the package.

In the 7 day 60 MB data package the charging interval currently is 100kB instead of 1 kB without the package.

The wording in the SMS regarding the 120 minute package is quite different. We will have to wait for the official statement.
