After the merger
of Telefónica and E-Plus in 2015 the company first opened the UMTS and GSM networks of O and E-Plus in the course of National Roaming to all customers. Since then, Telefónica customers have benefitted from a significantly improved nationwide network coverage since they can also use the respective other network. Following this opening, Telefónica Deutschland began to unify the existing network codes of the O and E-Plus networks to a uniform network identification. The company had previously informed its customers about the upcoming changes via SMS as well as on individual websites. Telefónica Deutschland had initially begun to unify the network code in Southern Germany in the autumn of 2016. Now the network identification was unified for all networks nationwide.
