  Binary package hint: network-manager
  
  Hi,
  
  this german prepaid provider for mobile internet provides at least two
  ways to use the internet.
  
  So it would be useful to provide these two APNs in Network Manager and say 
what they do. From my view the following applies:
  tagesflat.eplus.de: flatrate price 2€ duration 24 hours (this is missing in 
network manager)
  internet.eplus.de: you pay for every MB of traffic, iirc 24¢/MB
  AldiTalk has a third mode, which is a 30 day flatrate, but it is not very 
easy to activate, and if acitvated you need the APN internet.eplus.de. I take 
http://www.eee-pc.de/board/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7034#p56505 as a source for the 
monthly flatrate and translate it into englisch:
  "the flatrate for 30 days has to be booked explicitly
  
  the easiest way is to enter the USSD code into the mobile phone and send
  it
  
  *121*004# book 30 days internet flatrate
  *122# cancel of the booked option
- *123# status request which option if booked
+ *123# status request which option is booked
  
  and enter the apn internet.eplus.de at the stick
  
  you could also enter this via a terminal programm"
  
  In the documentation it is said, that if you book a 24h flatrate, you
  will not be able to book the monthly flatrate until the 24h are over.
  But this seems only to fit to the windows software which is shipped with
  the modem.
  
  I hope here is someone with more details on the prices of AldiTalk,
  since I am a bit confused about it and the missing feature of network
  manager to receive sms makes it even harder. With sms I could easily
  see, which option is booked.

  update: I found more details about the 30 days flatrate and updated this bug 
report
  update2: this is also a source describing how to activate the 30 days flatrate
  http://www.ip-phone-forum.de/showthread.php?p=1353903
+ update3: the reason for the cancel of the booked option code is, that the 30 
days flatrate will automatically be extended to the next 30 days, if enough 
money is on the sim card.
