Some people can get a reduction in the broadcasting fee (formerly GEZ fee) – who is concerned? Some people with disabilities can still apply for a reduction. Pensioners can also be exempted from paying the fee under certain circumstances.

With the mark RF in their severely disabled person's ID card, holders are entitled to a reduce in broadcasting fees as well as reduction in telephone charges from Deutsche Telekom. However, certain conditions must be met before this can happen. The application can be filled out online and sent to the contribution service.
