T-Mobile has announced exactly what the iPhone will cost in Germany and it isn’t too cheap considering what you get for your monthly payment. Considering the native competition in terms of data plans however, the deal will not doubt feel like a breath of fresh air to early adopters of the German iPhone.
All three iPhone plans which are dubbed “iPhone Complete†are set to include unlimited data, Visual Voicemail and access to T-Mobile’s 8,000 plus wi-fi hotspots in Germany. Although in the UK unlimited data plans for your mobile are getting reasonably cheap the equivalent services in Germany have remained super expensive with both T-Mobile and Vodafone previously offering unlimited data plans starting at about 70 Euros per month, separate from any contract fees (ouch!).
Essentially this means that the iPhone’s lowest 49 Euros a month tariff in the country, inclusive of unlimited data, presents pretty decent value for money and may well force other carriers in the country to slash their prices in order to compete.
Even so, for the money, the deal seems a little skimpy in other departments when compared to what O2 is offering in the UK.
Hit the jump for a price comparison between the UK tariffs and that which our Teutonic cousins will be getting.
| Subscription band | O2 iPhone (UK) | T-Mobile iPhone (Germany) |
| Low | £35 (including 200 minutes and texts) | 49 Euros (£34)(including 100 minutes and 40 texts) |
| Middle | £45 (including 600 minutes and 500 texts) | 69 Euros (£48)(including 200 minutes and 150 texts) |
| High | £55 (including 1200 minutes and 500 texts) | 89 Euros (£62)(including 1000 minutes and 300 texts) |
