History
[edit]Mobile communications
[edit]On 1 July 1992, Telekom Deutschland began operations under the name De.Te.Mobil Deutsche Telekom Mobilfunk GmbH. It took over the car phone network activities of Deutsche Bundespost which operated B-Netz (until 1994) and C-Netz (until 2000). By the end of 1993, the company had 480,000 customers.
In March 1994, the first SMS was sent over the network.
In 1995, the company name was changed to DeTeMobil Deutsche Telekom MobilNet GmbH (T-Mobil),[3] while the network was branded as T-D1.
In 1997, the first German prepaid card was introduced.
In 1998, T-Mobil was assigned 0170 as an additional area code in addition to 0171 by the Regulatory Authority for Telecommunications and Post (RegTP).
In June 2000, T-Mobil became the first mobile network operator in the world to launch a GPRS network. The C-Netz network was switched off in the same year.
In February 2002, DeTeMobil Deutsche Telekom MobilNet GmbH was renamed to T-Mobile Deutschland GmbH. In July of the same year, T-Mobile launched the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS).

Fixed-line communications

On 1 March 2007, then Deutsche Telekom CEO René Obermann announced that the group's brand identity would be radically simplified from summer 2007 onwards meaning T-Home became the universal brand for Deutsche Telekom's fixed-line services.
