Wow, I didn't know Zapp had 3G network, I thought it was CDMA only... interesting!

The 3G network is limited to data only. No voice services are provisioned on it.

And what about RCS & RDS (Digi.Mobil)?

No prepaid on Digi.

Zapp on the other hand launched a killer prepaid package on their CDMA 450 network: NoPay.

While it is initially provisioned on the CDMA side of the network, the new phones come with a hybrid CDMA/UMTS SIM card. It is expected the same card will also work on the 3G network sometime in the future.

The big thing though is prepaid package itself:

EUR3/month gets you 1000 voice minutes to/from Messenger, 1000 text messages to Messenger, 1000 voice minutes on net, 1000 text messages on net and 60 national minutes.

EUR6/month gets you 5000 voice minutes to/from Messenger, 5000 text messages to Messenger, 5000 voice minutes on net, 5000 text messages on net and 150 national minutes.

Messenger can be Yahoo, MSN, Google or a SIP URL.

Here's some info: ZAPP | NoPay
