D1 is now known as T1 network from the "Deutsche Telekom AG" D2 (former
mannesmann D2) is now vodafone. both cell-networks are operating in the
GSM-900 frequency. O2 and E-Plus are still on air. they using the 1800
frequency. that's the reason why you can have with another provider on the
same place a different singnal strength.

but that's not the end of the big cell-marked here. all those "big players"
are offering sub-networks. E-Plus had a "low-cost or budget brand" called
BASE and BLAU.DE. BASE have shops, and BLUE.DE is a prepaid-provider only.
you can buy the sim-card in a grocery or a tech-shop. than you actived the
card with a password via internet and can use this card. to charge your card
with fresh money you can go to a gas-station or other stores and buy a
charge-code. but i think that's no so much different as in the US.

round about 40(!) cell-phone provider are on the marked. but all of them are
a sub-company or a network-renting corp by one the big player.

using cell-phone is very cheap. you can book a flat to all networks including
the fixnet and mobile-internet for about 20 euros/month. 4G have higher costs
and internationals calls also. people in europe how pay the most for the
cellphone use are speaking also german (mostly). they live in switzerland :)

ok enough about explaining for today.
