How much?

The Register posted an article this week about a subject that must be close to everyone’s heart at the moment: tariff transparency.

Seems that the gentlemen in grey from the UK telecom regulator, Ofcom, have once again been prompted into action to do something about telephony provider tariffs. Why? Because the public just cannot understand the tariff plans on offer and are fed up. Biggest amongst the complaints is switching network provider for a better deal that turns out to be more expensive.

Caveat emptor? In the world of mobile, bundling minutes and SMS has to be one of the greatest legitimised scams of all time. Ever tried to compare either prepaid or post-paid mobile plans? It’s hard and it should be a lot easier. More choice does not always equate to better value.

Once upon a time I sold corporate airtime from one of the world’s largest mobile operators to suits in the City of London. Were these companies offered bundled minutes and SMS? No, we would not insult their intelligence so. The offer? Straightforward line rental, service charges and per minute billing. Keep It Simple Stupid we would say.

We tried to keep MO-Call rates as easy as possible to understand. Despite the fact that MO-Call World can be a fairly complex service for the new-to-mobile to understand, we think that we have done just that. Plain per minute rates, no surcharges and no hidden fees.

PS: if you’re interested in seeing how we stack-up against our MO-Call competition, please have a look at this site: www.lowcostmob.com. We might not be the cheapest of the alternative operators but we like to think we are one of the best. If you live in one of our MO-Call Home countries, we’ll even give you some free credit to try before you buy.
