Vodafone Germany will begin offering its private customers a new smartphone tariff with unlimited data beginning 15 May. The Red XL tariff will cost EUR 79.99 per month and includes unlimited data within Germany, 23 GB of data per month in other EU countries and unlimited calls, SMS and MMS to all German networks.
The Red XL tariff costs EUR 99.99 per month in combination with a smartphone from the premium segment. Customers can also purchase Red+ cards from EUR 10 to use their Red tariffs on additional devices and share the tariff among family members.
The offer comes just weeks after Deutsche Telekom introduced the first unlimited data plan in Germany. Its MagentaMobil XL plan offers customers unlimited calls, SMS and high-speed data for EUR 79.95 per month. Data use for EU roaming is capped at 23 GB per month.
Vodafone is also releasing a new entry-level smartphone tariff on 15 May. The Red XS tariff costs EUR 24.99 per month for unlimited calls and SMS to all German networks, 1 GB of monthly data and the Vodafone Pass enabling customers to use certain apps and streaming services without consuming their monthly data. Any unused data at the end of the month will be rolled over to the next month for use via the 'GigaDepot'.
Vodafone is also increasing the amount of data contained in all of its Red mobile tariffs for customers who register for a tariff by the end of July. Red S customers will thus receive 4 GB of data per month for the duration their tariff, while Red M and Red L customers will receive 11 GB and 16 GB of data, respectively.Business customers can now enroll in Vodafone’s Red Business XL+ tariff and receive unlimited calls, SMS and MMS throughout Germany, the EU and Switzerland, unlimited monthly data in Germany and 30 GB of data per month throughout the EU for EUR 79.95 per month.
The Black Business+ tariff meanwhile is designed for companies with extensive data needs abroad and offers business customers unlimited data and access to company emails, cloud servers and intranet applications throughout Germany, the EU, Turkey, Switzerland, the US and Canada for EUR 169.95 per month. The tariff also includes an UltraCard for use in additional tablets. Both the Red Business XL+ and Black Business+ tariffs contain Wi-Fi calling and a personal Vodafone contact partner for service issues.
