T-Mobile at CeBIT 2008


Germany’s leading mobile communications provider is presenting attractive products and services, innovative equipment and forward-looking network technology at CeBIT 2008. This year, the spotlight is on low-cost flat rates for telephony and mobile surfing, as well as the new, transparent “Good-Better-Best” system for rates and options. T-Mobile is also presenting new handsets with outstanding design features and showcasing an NGMN (Next Generation Mobile Network) for the first time in Germany on the basis of LTE technology.

Nokia 6650 and MDA compact IV
From June, the Nokia 6650 will be offered exclusively to T-Mobile customers. Stylishly designed and packed with state-of-the-art technology, this handset will optimally support services such as web’n’walk, Mobile Jukebox, MobileTV and NaviGate. Another cell phone tailored for HSDPA is the MDA compact IV with an autofocus camera and a particularly large touch screen. Other new handsets also offer HSDPA, cameras for high-resolution photos and high-quality music players.
Low-cost flat rates for mobile communications
A flat rate drive plus transparent pricing – the flat rate trio Max S, Max M and Max L combines both of these features, ranging from flat rates for novices up to the new Full-Flat rate that can be used on all networks within Germany. Then there are particularly low flat rates for young people and – as a CombiCard – for family members. Now, prepaid options such as the Event-Flat are also available for low-cost flat rate connections. For mobile Internet surfing, T-Mobile provides flat-rate options for less than EUR 10 per month depending on the contract. Besides this, T-Mobile provides the web’n’walk L flat rate for mobile Internet access on a laptop plus a daily flat rate for occasional users. A prepaid version of this one-day flat rate is also available. T-Mobile rounds off its portfolio of flat rates with the Mobile E-Mail and Mobile E-Mail Pro all-in-one packages.

MyFaves and web’n’walk on track for success
Over 150,000 customers in Germany now use the MyFaves popular community service. T-Mobile also has plans to expand this service soon along the lines of the “Good-Better-Best” concept. In addition, T-Mobile is rapidly increasing the number of handsets that support this service.T-Mobile is also on track for success with the web’n’walk Internet service, which has now been booked by over 2.1 million customers. The cooperation recently entered into with Yahoo! will make web’n’walk even easier to use from April. Increasing numbers of HSDPA-enabled handsets are cranking up the speed of Internet access via the T-Mobile network.
