I haven't seen the new D1 tariffs yet. Here are the T-Mobile Austria monthly contract plans:

SMS is 19 cents in DE on D1. SIMYO is 16.

In AT an Yesss! an SMS is 9 cents. If T-MO AT was trying to rival the discounters, they missed that aspect.

For DE D1, XtraOne is no longer available from T-MO directly. ViktorVox as of today was still showing it. VV does not show XtraPlus -- have not for quite some time although they USED to sell it.

DE D1 has recently said they see more price cutting. Seeing is believing, however.
They just introduced Xtra SMS Friends probably to replace the XtraOne. It has a 92 day validity, however. Here interal SMS is 5 cents.

I read the Xtra Click&Go will revert back to 15 cents and 30 cents after May 31.

Not clear if and when XtraNONSTOP will terminate. So much for price cutting.

The only 2 comparable contract plans are Relax OE plan and Light. If you use 200 min, then it seems the prepaid offer beats Light. On Relax OE plan calls TO landlines and TMO phones seem to be FREE. So if all you calling is to those, you are better off with the Relax OE plan for 17; seems to be a very LIMITED TIME offer.
