Prepaid providers are a good alternative to normal mobile phone contracts. You always have an overview of the costs and can top up credit when you need it. With the Rewe cards Penny Mobil & yes! mobil there was a test to see whether the network could be changed. There is now an all clear.

Penny Mobile & yes! stay mobile in the Telekom network

Almost every discounter and supermarket now has a prepaid card on offer. For example, Aldi Talk uses the o2 network, Lidl relies on Vodafone and Rewe, with its brands Penny Mobil & ja! mobile selects the Telekom network. The cooperation is checked at regular intervals. In the worst case, the network could be changed and you could get a disadvantage. The providers Penny Mobil & yes! mobile are considered a little insider tip, because you works with the Telekom subsidiary Congstar. It stays that way (source: Congstar).

the Cooperation has been extended until at least 2026. Penny Mobil prepaid customers & yes! mobile can breathe a sigh of relief. Rewe and Congstar have reached an agreement. If you had switched networks, you could of course get a different prepaid card, but then the choice would be somewhat smaller. For example, Edeka’s prepaid card still uses the Telekom network. Of course, Telekom itself also has a SIM card, but the discounters and supermarkets are usually cheaper.

This is how you can find out whether your mobile phone tariff is really as cheap as you think:

Prepaid cards as an annual package are trendy

Classic prepaid cards are still very popular, but there is also a new trend where you can take out an annual package directly. So you pay in advance for a whole year and can then use up the data volume in that time. But you also have to be careful how this is regulated. We have summarized the best offers here. Sometimes you get monthly data volume, in other tariffs you can burn the entire data volume for the whole year on the first day. After that, of course, it gets very expensive.

The provider “fraenk” has established itself as an alternative to prepaid. There you can conclude a tariff in the Telekom network directly via an app and with PayPal payment and still have full control.
