omnitel
omniTel® is forsa's daily omnibus survey in Germany. Except for weekends and holidays, experienced interviewers survey 1.000 representatively selected individuals nationwide. To meet these demands, forsa operates offices with telephone studios in Berlin and Dortmund.
All German speaking individuals, aged 14 years and older, living in private households equipped with a telephone, are eligible to be surveyed.
An accumulation of results across several survey waves is possible. forsa also offers interviews with partial groups (e.g. the head of household, primary breadwinner, women, teenagers etc.) If questions are commissioned before 2 p.m., the survey can be conducted in the very same day.
Results are available at lunchtime the following day, i.e. 24 hours after the survey has been commissioned (including brief commentary and tabular data documentation).
