Three out of four German operators offer own discount rates for mobile phones for several years, only Vodafone had this relatively new, but particularly for this growing market, long time not to be discovered.

But while the three competitors own discount brands in the race sent and thus could bind during the last years of several million new customers, this trend went past seemingly Vodafone. Now we have learned but obviously, that you must open up this market, even if the margins here due to the particularly favourable prepaid rates are not great.
