Listen to the mailbox: You will have to pay these costs
If you make a call on your cell phone, this is always associated with costs. We will show you the costs of listening to the mailbox.
Listening to your mailbox: Not always free
- Listening to the mailbox is generally free in Germany. Regardless of whether you have a flat rate telephone or pay individually for each call, there are no costs for a conversation with your own mailbox.
- The situation is different when you are abroad. Here you will be asked to checkout at any mobile phone provider. Depending on the region, this results in low to high costs.
- Within the EU, you pay the usual price for a domestic call, usually 9 cents, and a maximum of 5 cents per minute on top of it. From mid-June 2017, the roaming fees will be completely eliminated, so that a call to the mailbox within the EU will also be free of charge.
- It will be expensive in all other countries outside the EU. Depending on the provider and region, the minute can cost up to one euro here.
