This question was phrased by the source as follows: "Mobile flat rates allow customers to make phone calls or access the internet without any limits for a monthly fee. How about you: Do you have a flat rate?"
(Original German question: "Wenn man für sein Mobiltelefon eine sogenannte Flatrate hat, bezahlt man einen monatlichen Pauschalpreis und kann dafür unbegrenzt telefonieren oder im Internet surfen. Wie ist das bei Ihnen: Haben Sie für Ihr Mobiltelefon eine Flatrate fürs Telefonieren, oder eine Flatrate für das Internet, oder beides, oder haben Sie für Ihr Mobiltelefon keine Flatrate?")
