Missed the contract termination notice

3 years ago

Greetings, 

 

I apologize in advance for not being able to post this in German. My German language skills are not quite built up yet. I just have a few questions regarding a mobile contract and I do greatly appreciate the help. 

First question: 

I have missed the mandatory 3 month contract termination notice. Will my contract be renewed automatically? 

Second question: 

If my contract is renewed automatically, what is the term of the contract? 

Third question: 

If renewed, could the contract be changed to a “pay as you go” plan? 

I do not intend to switch service providers, I only want to change to a “pay as you go” plan. 

Fourth question: 

There is a phone attached to my contract, is the phone mine to keep after the end of the term? 

Thank you for your help.

      Hello @Espy5183 

       

      Due to the amendment of the TKG (Telecommunications Act), you can terminate your contract at any time after the minimum contract period of 24 months with one month's notice.

       

      Alternatively, you can also switch to a "Magenta Mobil Flex" contract. These generally only have a term of one month.

      Or, of course, you can switch to a prepaid rate.

       

      I hope the whole thing is understandable thanks to DeepL Translator. Zwinkernd

      Unfortunately you do not write since when the contract is running and you do not write the exact tariff name.

       

      1. the 3 months period is no more valid, has been legally replaced  on Deceber 1st with a 1 month period; without cancellation or active prolongation from your side the contract is (after the initial 24 months) renewed automatically with an undefined end
      2. undefined end, can be terminated within a one months notice once the initial 24 months are over
      3. if you mean prepad then you explicitely need to cancel the contract and following that actively change to a prepaid plan (tariff change)
      4. the phone is yours

      I guess that you do not want to stay in your current tariff plan because that probably includes a monthly payment on top for the smartphone - and if you do not request a new smartphone (that would trigger a new 24 months contract duration) then it is better to change to a tariff variant "without smartphone".

       

      Assuming that you have basically two options

      1. to the end of your current contract duration you change to the "flex" tariff variant in the "ohne Smartphone" regime
      2. you cancel the contract and drive a tarif change to a prepaid tariff

      There are some differences between the two, e.g. in 1) you have more features, like e.g. an optional multi-SIM for a smart watch or in 2) you can (for example out of a temporary personal money shortage) simply not recharge, so no payment from your bank account is necessary for several months (when Telekom will cancel the prepaid contract due to no more recharging), of course with the consequence that you can no more actively use the SIM, just receive calls and text messages

      Do you need help with the new renewal?

      Kind regards

      Greeting Carolin, 

       

      looking at the contract would be very helpful. I have no interest in renewing unfortunately, not due to service or anything like that. A prepaid plan is just more affordable for me right now. Also I don’t intend to stay in Europe for more than a year and a half longer. Could I message you in private all the details of the contract?

       

      thank you for your help

       

      best regards

      Thanks for your feedback, @Espy5183.

      If you want to switch to a prepaid contract, at least there has to be a termination in the system so that we can switch easily to prepaid.
      Use the linked form to cancel.
      If the termination is set, please write to me here again and I will call you for the change.
      Deal? Fröhlich

      Kind regards
      Carolin L.

      Hello and good evening, @Espy5183.

      We have a small problem with your last name.
      Have you got married and forgot to change your details in the customer center?

      Kind regards

      Good evening ma’am @Carolin L. 

       

      That is correct, well my wife’s name changed. She was Wiesmüller before and now Esparza. It is actually her contract, I am reaching out on her behalf. Do we need to make the name change before the contract termination?

      Hello @Espy5183.
      The termination must be requested again with the old after name. The new aftername is not yet set in the customer information. Afterwards I am only allowed to talk to your wife about the contract and not to you, as you are not the contract holder.
      Kind regards
      Carolin L.
