Still here in Germany we have a lot of offers for services where the discount price for the first year of subscription is calculated into the advertised price.

- tinco 8y agoBut it's no longer allowed to automatically continue into year long contracts with a higher price after the first year, so these schemes lost some of their bite.
- blumomo 8y agoA family member just made a contract with a "zero fees in first year" offer and the hidden, real pricing starts in second year. As we live in Germany, can you share more information about what you say?
- tinco 8y agoHm, maybe I extrapolated too far, this became law in The Netherlands a couple years ago and I assumed it was European legislation. In The Netherlands we had lots of these 2 year phone contracts going on where you'd eventually pay almost double your phone's value, those have effectively been banned.
