Here in Spain operators abandoned the subsidiaries two years
ago, and went for a plan plus monthly payment for the phone.
Myself, I had already abandoned the big 3, and now am in a
MVNO that gives me an excellent plan for a fraction of what I
would have to pay elsewhere:
Minimum monthly charge: 6.90€+tax (meaning that if I spend
less than that, I pay that, but if I exceed that I pay for the
service I used)
Calls at 0.05€/minute , plus a 0.15€/call setup charge. First
10 minutes of every call between users of the same MVNO free,
though you still pay the flat per call charge
No idea on SMS as it has been ages since I sent one
750MB/month for free, with data overages at 0.03€/MB. No
restrictions on its use, tethering and VoIP allowed.
I can cancel at any time, and as there is a price war with
other MVNOs this forces mine to match any improvements others
offer within days, as otherwise everyone would swap operators.
The end result is that I rarely pay more than the minimum and
get everything I need. Other companies are jumping into the US
model of large minute bundles that few actually use,
"unlimited" data that gets throttled to 64kbps after
ridiculously low thresholds and who knows how many texts for
an order of magnitude more than what I pay. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
