Bonn/Cologne Call-by-Call works like this: The actual phone number is preceded by the area code of the selected, cheaper provider. The call then goes through this provider, but the fees are collected via the telecom bill. Call-by-call tariffs can be found on various comparison portals on the Internet. In order to avoid expensive surprises – call-by-call tariffs can change depending on the time – a tariff price announcement is mandatory before the call comes about. Consumers can therefore still hang up if a price other than the expected price is announced. Why is there a call-by-call? in 1998, in the course of the market opening, Deutsche Telekom was required by regulation to offer its end customers call-by-call and preselection. In the early days of the liberalised telecommunications market, this was intended to ensure a competitive price development. Since 2019, VATM and Telekom have agreed on a voluntary agreement.
