O2 Germany: Customer Retention through Contract Extension

June 2002 (6 pages)
Extended 24-month contracts have been the norm in the German market for several years. Shorter 12-month and 3-month contracts are available from O2 (Formerly Viag Interkom) and T-Mobile. In practice, few customers select 12-month contracts because minimal handset subsidies are available with these contracts. In contrast, substantial subsidies are offered to customers entering into (or extending to) a 24-month contract. The shorter contracts account for less than 5% of all contracts.

Longer contracts ensure that most customers are 'under contract' and this helps to ensure that churn is maintained at below 20% across the German postpay contract market. The subject of this case study, O2, has a contract churn rate of approximately 18% and this is similar to the level of churn experienced by its competitors in the German market.
