Deutsche Telekom AG’s T-Mobile will sell the iPhone 3G in Germany for as little as 1 EURO (approximately $1.54) for the 8GB version together with a 69 euro monthly contract, the company says.
Apple is set to reach far more consumers with the launch of the 3G iPhone in 70 countries than it did with the original version a year ago, partly due to having abandoned its insistence that carriers give it a share of call revenue, notes Reuters.
Operators such as T-Mobile now have more scope to subsidize the cost of the phone to buyers in return for more lucrative contracts. Some carriers, including Telefonica’s O2, have said iPhone users consume 30 times as much data as users of other Internet-enabled phones, Reuters adds.
T- Mobile started selling the communications device in Germany last November. As of May 15, 2008, the company said it has sold more than 100,000 units of the communications device.
