  • No need to worry about big bills: Telekom gives customers clear control over costs
  • Travel & Surf is available to all contract customers and Xtra customers
  • Offering being launched at 10 of Deutsche Telekom's national companies

Telekom launches its Travel & Surf data roaming option on July 1 , 2011. This add-on makes it easy for customers to purchase a range of different data passes that let them e-mail and surf worry-free while on their travels - flexibly and worldwide. This has the key advantage of giving customers full control over their data roaming costs. What is more, customers enjoy low prices with extensive price cuts in all three of Telekom's roaming country groups. In EU countries the DayPass S costs just EUR 1.95 for 10 MB , the DayPass M only EUR 4.95 for 50 MB , and the seven-day flat rate just EUR 14.95 . Alongside Germany, a further nine of Deutsche Telekom 's national companies in Europe are launching their Travel & Surf offers around now. "Travel & Surf makes connected life even more attractive to our customers," said Niek Jan van Damme , member of the Board of Management of Deutsche Telekom AG and Managing Director of Telekom Deutschland GmbH . "It lets our customers surf, e-mail and keep up with contacts on their social networks when abroad without having to worry. Our data roaming campaign shows that market and pricing competition in Germany can also work perfectly well across national borders - and without the need for regulation." The Travel & Surf option for data roaming in country group 1 includes the DayPass S, the DayPass M, and a flat rate, with a DayPass S available for country groups 2 and 3. The following prices apply in country group 1, which comprises the EU Member States plus Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Croatia: For customers with fixed-term contracts:

  • DayPass S with 10 MB of data for EUR 1.95
  • DayPass M with 50 MB of data for EUR 4.95
  • WeekPass with unlimited data volume for one week for EUR 14.95

For prepay customers:

  • DayPass S with 10 MB of data for EUR 2.95
  • DayPass M with 50 MB of data for EUR 6.95

In country group 2, which also includes Turkey, the United States and Canada, the DayPass S with 10 MB of data costs EUR 14.95 and in country group 3 EUR 24.95 . These prices apply for both contract and prepay customers. The Travel & Surf add-on is available to all Telekom consumers irrespective of which voice roaming plan they currently have. All data passes can be used with smartphones, cell phones, tablets and laptops and are easy to purchase. Customers simply request the Travel & Surf option free of charge. As soon as they try to go online in the foreign network, a text message is received with information on the data passes available in the respective country. The desired pass can then be bought either directly by text message or via browser link. When customers then open the browser, it initially directs them to the page with details of the data passes. The passes offer full control over the costs of mobile surfing abroad. Customers are sent a warning text message once 80 percent of the volume has been used up. Once they have used up the data volume of the day pass, the Internet session is interrupted and they can simply purchase another pass via the Internet site or by text message. The day pass data volumes are available for 24 hours after purchasing the pass, and the flat rate for seven days. The maximum transmission rates outside of Germany are the same as the usable bandwidth specified in the customer's rate plan and any add-on. The Travel & Surf option is pre-configured for new customers. In Germany, there are several ways for existing customers to order the new data roaming add-on free of charge, including on the Internet, by telephone or in a Telekom Shop. Travel & Surf is also available to business customers. Alternatively, they can continue to surf abroad using the existing attractive data passes with low prices per MB for any excess volume used. Telekom customers can make substantial savings on mobile calls outside of Germany with the free-of-charge Smart Traveler option. This enables customers to use the minutes included in the budget of their current rate plan for calls within the destination country and to Germany. Calls outside of the minutes budget cost just EUR 0.29 a minute, with incoming calls free of charge for up to 60 minutes . Inbound and outbound calls are subject to a one-time connection charge of EUR 0.75 .
