Surfing permanently cheap: Freenet celebrates brand relaunch with unlimited tariff for less than 20 euros
Launched three years ago, Freenet gave its mobile phone brand Mega SIM a new coat of paint with fresh tariff offers. These have it all. The entry is namely 20 GB of data volume in the high-speed Internet from o2 for 14.99 euros per month. In addition, all contracts can be terminated on a monthly basis and remain cheap if you conclude them now.
Mega SIM is relaunched: o2 tariffs for frequent surfers
Dieter Bohlen has been Freenet’s figurehead and testimonial for over a year now (we reported). So it’s hardly surprising that the former pop titan in the position created especially for him as “Chief Entertainment Officer” (CEO for short) also has the relaunch of the sub-brand originally launched in 2019 Mega SIM accompanied. This promises nothing less than “mega mobile communications at mega prices” – garnished with a lot of data volume, which ranges from 20 GB to unlimited.
Indeed has Mega SIM two decisive advantages, not to say unique selling points compared to other mobile phone providers: The (new) contracts are on the one hand monthly cancellableso there is no minimum term, and on the other hand guarantee a “lifetime pricing“ – means in plain language: The price at which you have booked is valid continuous and will not be increased even after the usual 24 months. Others too cost traps such as a subscription or additional options, which are often hidden in the small print, are fortunately searched for in vain.

Our conclusion: frequent surfers get their money’s worth
The offers for the relaunch of Mega SIM are really impressive. Although there are always D-Netz tariffs, some of which offer more data volume for even less money, you are not surfing at a speed of up to 225 Mbit/s. In addition, the contracts usually have a term of 24 months and then become significantly more expensive. at Mega SIM on the other hand, there are neither long-term contractual commitments nor hidden costs. After the data volume has been used up, however, the provider throttles it down to an extremely slow 32 Kbit/s. With the competitors it is usually at least 64 Kbit/s.
Permanent surfers will find in theFree unlimited Smart“ A really cheap tariff with no volume limit, whereby the data transmission rate here is 10 Mbit/s or only 5 Mbit/s in the upload. Downloading and sending larger files can therefore take a little longer. In any case, you don’t take any risks with any of the Mega SIM tariffs, especially since you can cancel monthly – for example if there is insufficient network coverage Telefónica or o2. But there shouldn’t be any problems in metropolitan areas.
