# What are the prices and rates for mobile service abroad?

If you are traveling outside Germany, you have **mobile data** available to you. When traveling within the EU as well as to Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein and the United Kingdom (Zone 1), you can continue using your **mobile** **data volume** without any additional costs. When traveling to all other countries, you have the option to **data volume** add it online.

For trips to Switzerland, the USA and Canada (Zone 2), there is the option to activate a data plan with **250 MB** of data volume for 28 days at a price of €11.95. For the remaining countries (Zone 3), a data volume of **5 MB** is available for 28 days at a price of €17.95. The term begins on the day of booking. If needed, you can stack the data amounts by booking the respective plan multiple times. After the 28 days have expired, or once the data volume has been used up, it can be activated again. To book the data plans, send a **SMS** with the content **250** for the 250 MB data plan or with the content **5** for the 5 MB data plan to the short code +495555.

If you live in the border area near Switzerland, it may happen that your mobile phone automatically connects to the Swiss mobile network. To prevent this, deactivate the automatic network selection in your settings and choose manually **sipgate** .

Calls and SMS that you make abroad via your sipgate mobile connection are charged at a flat rate of 99 ct./minute or 99 ct./SMS.

**Important**: As a rule, there are no roaming charges for SMS and calls within the EU.
