Vodafone showed the way, now Deutsche Telekom is following suit. Just like Vodafone, Telekom is also giving its Magenta Mobile customers additional data volume for Christmas. However, the specific approach differs significantly from that of the competitor.

Because Telekom customers do not receive a fixed number of additional gigabytes that is identical for all customers – at Vodafone it is 500 gigabytes. Instead, Telekom will double the data bonus for its customers in December 2023.
Telekom introduced this data bonus in July 2023. The exact amount of the data bonus depends on the length of the contract, so it is a classic customer loyalty measure: existing customers receive an extra 500 MB per month for each year that they are a customer of Telekom’s mobile network. Up to 10 GB (500 MB x 20 years of contract loyalty) additional data volume per month is possible at no additional cost. The data bonus is only available for Telekom customers with the Magenta Mobile tariff of the current tariff generation as well as owners of Plus cards as well as for Young, Prepaid and Business Mobile tariffs. You can read all the details here.
This data bonus, which varies from customer to customer, will now double in December. Since the data bonus can vary between 500 MB and theoretically 10 GB, this means: In December 2023, Telekom Magenta Mobile customers will receive between 1 G and 20 GB extra, depending on the contract length. That’s significantly less than the flat 500 GB that Vodafone is giving away.
How to unlock the double data bonus
From December 1st The Christmas bonus is available in your MeinMagenta app. But you have to activate it specifically. Users of business mobile tariffs get the data bonus for free at pass.telekom.de.
Important: Unused data volume expires December 31st. So you can no longer use double the data volume for New Year’s greetings on January 1, 2024. Vodafone is more generous: the extra 500 GB can be used until January 3, 2024.
