Deutsche Telekom Raises Prices on Legacy Landlines and New Internet Bundles From October

Analysts say many affected households can cut bills by moving to low-cost mobile plans.

Overview

  • Older voice-only landline tariffs such as Call Plus and Call Comfort rise by up to €3 per month starting in October.
  • Current internet combination offers for new customers, including MagentaTV and Young plans, increase by €1 per month from October.
  • Most existing contracts keep their conditions, though some older internet tariffs for existing customers will go up by €3 per month from November.
  • Legacy fixed-line plans now cost at least €23.95 per month, while allnet mobile plans start around €5, and Verivox estimates savings of up to €228 per year by switching.
  • Experts note SIM-based desk phones can replace traditional handsets, and warn further DSL and cable price increases are possible after Vodafone’s late-September hikes.
