When calling the service numbers of Vodafone, O2, Congstar or Telekom, the voice menu is always in German. You can change the language to English by following these steps:

Telekom Mobilbox

Call 33 11 and press “3” (change settings). Then press “4” (change more settings) and select “1” for English or German.


Vodafone CallYa

Call 22 9 22 and press “3” (tariff announcement). Then press “5” (change language) and select “2” for English.

This language change affects the menu language for 22 9 22 (account server), 22 0 44 (tariff manager) and 0172 / 229 0 229 (CallYa Team).

For CallYa Digital customers, reach out via WhatsApp: 0172 200 02 29


O2 Mailbox

Call 333 and press “9” (configuration). Then press “5” to select German or English.

    In Germany on O2 as soon as the phone answers after dialing 333 hit * then 9 then 5. If you don’t hit * after it answers it will take you right to your voicemail.

    i am using CallYa, tried to call 22922 and then option 3/5/2 but seems not working as expected.

      Are you calling from Germany or from a different country?
      When calling from Germany, try 22922 and then press “4” and select “1” for German and “2” for English
