babble · **Not quite identical to the initial UK offer -** 17-07-2010, 00:54

There are a couple of important differences to the initial O2 offer in the UK:

1. So far there are no incoming DIDs back to Germany.
2. There are a wide range of identical O2-o airbag tariffs - the difference is the monthly cost to the subscriber. The lowest airbag price, which was generally available until a couple of months ago, is 40 euros per month. [And Lidl are planning to launch a special 40 euro "airbag-like" tariff at the end of July. But this tariff has a 9c per minute rate, for which the monthly bill is capped at 40 euros. The Lidl tariff excludes an O2 homezone. It may also have other exclusions when it is officially launched.]

I have also seen a couple of, as yet announced, new German O2-o tariffs which include internet access with the airbag for 50 and 65 euros per month. The 65 euros per month tariff was for the addition of flat rate internet access within Germany.

If I remember correctly, the new 50 Euro "O2-0-On" (?) tariff had a download limit of 5GB per month - but I am not certain about the download limit. Perhaps the limit was smaller.

We shall have to wait for the official O2 announcement...
