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.
