Roaming at o2 Free - you have to consider that
Since mid-2017, mobile operators such as o2 have no longer been able to charge roaming charges. This article tells you what you need to know about using the 02 Free tariff abroad.
Roaming at o2 Free - you should know that
- Since then, EU roaming has been included in all o2 Free tariffs. This means that you can also use the volume of services included in the domestic tariff in other EU countries. This means both minutes of conversation, SMS and data volume.
- However, it is worth reading the fine print. According to the fair use policy, o2 reserves the right to charge a surcharge for "excessive" or "permanent" roaming use.
- Specifically, this means that data usage surcharges apply if you consume more than double the volume "that results from dividing your total domestic retail price for an open data packet by the regulated maximum wholesale wholesale fee".
- Surcharges for SMS, telephony and data are due if you cannot prove that you are habitually resident in Germany. In short: if you are abroad very often. This also applies, but not only if your international use exceeds domestic use within four months.
- In order to be able to assess the whole, o2 may process and use the necessary data for at least 4 months. This affects your location as well as your telephony and surfing behavior.
- For data use, o2 charges a maximum of € 59.50 per billing period. If this amount is exceeded, the download and upload speed is reduced to up to 2 Kbit / s for the rest of the billing period.
