Telefónica Deutschland launches its new O2 Blue tariff portfolio in March
and will bring LTE to all high speed areas by mid 2013
MUNICH. Telefónica Deutschland redesigns completely its tariff portfolio:
the new O2 Blue is coming on 1 March. The four options differ mainly by
data volume. Users will now be able to make calls and send texts to all
German networks for free with each of the smartphone rates.
'With the new O2 Blue rates we are getting rid of the telephone minute.
After O2 Genion and O2 o, we're starting the third revolution in German
mobile communications,' René Schuster, CEO of Telefónica Germany, says. 'We
are the first German network operator that is gearing its entire rate
portfolio towards the data needs of its customers. Calls and SMS are
unlimited with all rates.'
For the high-speed rate O2 Blue All-In XL with 5 GB at full LTE speed,
there is even 14 days of surfing abroad and two multicards for laptops and
tablets included for less than 50 euros. The O2 Blue All-In L includes 7
days of data usage abroad in the EU in addition to 2 GB of data volume at
full speed. A landline number is included with every rate so that O2
customers can be reached inexpensively.
Rates can be booked online, via the hotline and in all O2 shops. There's
also the new O2 Blue for the self-employed, freelancers and entrepreneurs
with special advantages. Those who cleverly combine their mobile and
landline products will save up to an additional 10 euros per month with the
combo offer. Customers will find the right smartphone at O2 My Handy. With
the HTC One they'll get for example a high-end LTE device for just 661
euros that also includes a free pair of Beats by Dr. Dre headphones valued
at 99 euros.
More information about the new O2 Blue is available at: www.o2.de/blue and
www.o2business.de/blue
In 2013, O2 customers in all high-speed areas across Germany will benefit
from super-fast mobile Internet. Munich and Berlin go live on 31 March,
with Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Duisburg and Essen to follow in the second
quarter. In parallel, the LTE network is being strengthened in the already
developed high-speed areas Frankfurt, Cologne, Nuremberg, Dresden and
Leipzig. 'Alongside the roll-out, the development in the LTE network is a
key priority this year,' says René Schuster, CEO of Telefónica Deutschland.
'VoLTE represented a breakthrough for us under real conditions, allowing us
to offer customers best sound quality and reliability for their calls in
the future.'
