Multi-brand strategy
The E-Plus Group is a successful challenger and driver of change in the German mobile telecommunications market.
Absolute freedom of speech with "Mein BASE"
"Mein BASE" offers the perfect package for everyone comprising no standing charge, an individual selection of flat rates and a completely flexible tariff structure. Freedom of speech was never like this: "Mein BASE" customers take advantage of 30 free call minutes and 30 free SMS to other BASE customers every month - all without any standing charge, minimum call volume or connecting fee.
Customers can therefore sign up for "Mein BASE" free of charge and at no personal risk - with a minimum contract period of 24 months. Every customer can put together his or her own flat rate on top of the free basic service. The flat rate can be flexibly adjusted to meet all personal needs: all flat rate options can be changed, added or deleted every month at no expense and without extending the contract period.
E-Plus - a definite plus!
E-Plus is still offering its existing customers cheap and straightforward mobile communication packages. E-Plus has long been influencing the market in the customer's favour with "Zehnsation" and "Time & More" - both of these packages started out as innovations and can look back on a long history of success. All existing customers can continue using their E-Plus tariffs as before. They will continue to profit from all advantages of the E-Plus brand in future.
With "Mein BASE", the E-Plus group is offering new customers optimum conditions for a mobile lifestyle. Everyone interested in prepaid offers will find a convincing selection of attractive prices at BASE Prepaid, simyo or blau Mobilfunk and in the wide variety of packages offered by partners of the E-Plus group.
simyo
simyo is the first mobile telecoms discounter in Germany. simyo has brought some transparency into the German tariff jungle and made it nice and easy to use a mobile phone: there is just one rate to all networks at any time of day, SIM cards are sold without handsets and the SIM-only product is available exclusively on the Internet. In a nutshell: simyo is a lean product that needs no frills.
simyo reaps costs benefits from selling only over the Internet and not offering subsidized handsets. It passes these savings directly on to its customers - in the form of better rates per minute and a community tariff of five cents per minute for calls between simyo customers.
AY YILDIZ
AY YILDIZ is the first mobile phone brand designed specially for Germany's Turkish community. The majority of this target group keep in close contact with friends, family and business associates in Turkey.
With its simple, low-cost tariffs to all Turkish and German networks, AY YILDIZ enables people to connect with their old friends back home, or with people in Germany, anytime they like.
The customer service also reflects how carefully it caters to its target group: all staff working on the customer hotline speak fluent German and Turkish.
vybemobile
vybemobile is E-Plus's most recent innovation, combining a low-cost mobile phone service with free music downloads and access to over a hundred thousand titles at vybemobile's music store.
The cooperation deal between E-Plus and Universal Music Germany means customers can enjoy the best of both worlds: mobile communication and music. Lucky chance for all text fans: sms within the E-Plus net are free, each text or call minute to any network costs only 10 cents. Another goody is the mobile phone internet flat for mobile surfing by phone.
In addition, 10 free music downloads a month can be downloaded from the website to a PC or from the brand's own Surf & Music portal to a mobile phone.
The website also offers the brand's young lifestyle-oriented target group further benefits, such as regular games of chance and special online offers.
