Base - Cheap mobile phone contracts

Anybody know anything about Base?
The deal seems too good to be true. Its only 25 yoyos line rental and all calls to land lines, e plus and other Base phones are for free. Mailbox is also free.
Wonder what the coverage is like.

Base is an E-Plus contract and is based on their system, so coverage in the major cities and roaming is good, however loses out to DT and Vodafone in the countryside, base rate looks ok if you call a lot of land lines, but could get expensive if you have lots of friends with other mobile carriers

You really need to look at your usage to work out if this is worthwhile given your own circumstances. It might not be as good as it seems at first sight. Many people make calls to many other mobiles - if you are calling to non-E-Plus customers then the rates are quite high, as would be roaming costs when abroad. As has been already noted, E-PLus coverage is not good outside of major cities and autobahns...

Even the some pre-paid (pay-as-you-go) deals might work out cheaper. No monthly cost and 14cents a minute for calls to all networks (see here for an example on T-mobile which has good coverage) works out at almost 3 hours of calls before you exceed the €25 that Base would cost you, also bearing in mind that a months vacation out of Germany just wasted your €25 as you can't take advantage of the inclusive calls...
