Which network is good?
Depending on where you live in Germany, the network can vary a lot. For example, in Munich, O2 is excellent in the city center area, but not usable in the metro and on the edge of the stands. Vodafone offers high coverage throughout Germany; just like the Telekom network. If you really want to make sure whether the network is good in your desired location, you can always find a network coverage map from the respective provider. You should also ask friends and family for advice about whether they have good reception on the desired network.
What’s the difference between monthly billing and every four weeks?
Some tariffs are billed not by calendar month, but every four weeks. The bill is billed every 28 days, which is a little more expensive in practice. When billed every four weeks you pay around 13 rather than 12 contributions per year.
