So, do you THINK better deals are coming? Any time soon? Do you think T-MO will throw out a bone or two? Perhaps it is too early to tell at this time. There #s increased last quarter. Suspect they won't actually do anything new until their #s start to suffer.

Aldi/Medion still seems to be all the rage right now. For someone just starting with prepay, would certainly be the low price leader. Are DISADVANTAGES, of course. with 1800 net. For callers making only a few short calls per month, I am not sure changing is even worth the bother -- or even economically sensible. Consider someone who mainly RECEIVES calls and dials out rarely. There is the hassle of changing #s with a payback period period in months (use 39 - 15 cents = 24 cents per outbound minute as the difference) The 10 Euro fee (19.95 for the SIM gives you a 10 Euro balance) so it would take about 41 minutes of calling to make up the difference.

Lots and lots of starter sets for sale on Ebay.de. Can't for the life of me figure out WHY someone would PREFER to buy one or more off EBAY rather than from Aldi directly. Now true, some people my abhor shopping @ Aldi.
