T-Mobile offers 3G in Germany without phones

January 15, 2004

Consumers in Germany can now make calls on T-Mobile's 3G network but the company is not going to provide 3G phones anytime soon.

A spokesman for the operator said T-Mobile has activated its subscribers' SIM cards to enable them to user the 3G network, but this does not constitute an official launch of the high-speed network.

"This doesn't mean that it's the commercial launch," the spokesman said.

Customers who wish to use the network now must find a 3G handset themselves, most probably from outside of Germany as none of the German operators have officially launch 3G services.

"If someone wants to try it out, they're more than welcome, but because we haven't launched commercially, we can't guarantee the quality," the spokesman said.

T-Mobile rival, Vodafone, has recently provided service through its 3G network but only to limited corporate clients. The service was not aimed at handset users but rather laptop customers that wish to access the internet and their corporate networks. The operator provided customers with PC cards instead of handsets.

The four 3G operators in Germany plans to begin commercial 3G services in the country later this year.
