Mobile voip now dead in Germany

[inquisitor]

Arcor and Alice also give away free SIM cards to their customers, which allow free calls to landlines. Afaik Arcor's and 1&1's flatrates are valid to calls to all landlines (not just to their own landlines).
Kabel Deutschland may be the cheapest offer for a broadband connection with a flatrate SIM, but they require a 24-months contract, whereas Alice don't have a minimum term if you go for a standard tariff.

dg7feq and inquisitor,

I wasn´t aware of the 1&1 and Alice products. The german press is so saturated with 1&1 and Alice advertisements that I ignore them automatically.

What really surprises me is that KD offer the Homebox 7270 for just 80 euro to new customers. You probably already know how easy it is to convert into a FB 7270: just unclick two or three tick boxes and you have a FB with firmware 54.04.67, which can then be provisioned with up to 10 sip voip accounts. Very nice and so simple!

It´s a pity that callthrough can only be made via one sip account, and not via two or three voip accounts. The FB would be unbeatable if callthrough could also be received and made through a sim card in a UMTS USB stick.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use Fbeditor, or JFritz, etc, to extract voip credentials?

inquisitor,

Yes, the contract small print gives the impression that the minimum contract period is 24 months. However, the minimum contract period is really only 12 months:
