Munich, Germany Oct. 27, 2008 -- Fonic has acquired new sales partners in the form of Media Markt
and Saturn: the cyan-blue starter packages for the Fonic voice tariff and the new Fonic daily flat rate for mobile Internet are now available across the more than 360 German stores of the two CE retailers.
"Strong partners who help us to spread the inexpensive, simple and fair concept of Fonic even further," says Björn Flormann, Director of Marketing & Sales at this Munich-based mobile telephony discounter.
Fonic has been highly successful on the German market since its entrance just over a year ago, and has drawn a great deal of attention to itself with its new concepts. It was the first provider to introduce a single tariff for mobile telephony and SMS in all German networks - and for a price that was for the first time under 10 cents. The motto "no monthly fee, no minimum charge, no contract" also applies to the second successful product from Fonic – the new Surf Stick with a daily flat rate for mobile Internet. For a flat rate of only 2.5 euros per calendar day, customers can surf in the Internet and can, for example, handle their e-mails, watch videos or download music.
"Fonic is now available at over 5,000 points of sale. We are holding discussions with further partners and intend to speedily extend our sales network even further," Flormann adds.
