Such "data gifts", as Telekom calls them, are more common. In the past, Telekom has repeatedly granted its customers 100 GB of free data volume for limited periods of time. There have also been complete data flat rates for one month.

If Deutsche Telekom had its way, you could watch the European Championship on your cell phone with MagentaTV: Deutsche Telekom's streaming service is showing all 51 matches of the European Championship live, the rights for which the company secured in 2019. ARD and ZDF are only showing 46 matches, including all games involving the German national team.

Theoretically, you can also watch the matches on MagentaTV in upscaled 4k - but you will need a set-top box or a MagentaTV stick. The content is not transmitted in 4k on the app for cell phones, smart TVs and in the browser. MagentaTV costs at least 10 euros for a monthly subscription, which can be canceled at any time.
