Tariffic cellphone bill optimisation in SA

The example: Current package is MTN Any Time 500 and s/he can make do with Cell C's Straight Up 30?
What were they thinking when chosing their current package?

I think there is more truth in your statement than many may realise. I personally also think that few look at the finer detail of their contracts, its all about which phone they want and the service providers know this and thus structure there packages accordingly.

They will most definitely not give you the best and leanest package on one of the better phones. You can be sure that there will be some fat profits built into that deal.
 
HTF do people make a company for something that is blatantly obvious for any individual to do on its own? :wtf:

Lets be honest, with the way networks operate unscrupulously, I would gladly pay someone R35 to check what the hell is going on and keep a check on my package and costs that are being deducted from it to make sure I am on the right package.

Do you think people have the time or effort required to do this monthly? I doubt it

You'd be surprised at the level of ignorance amongst consumers!

If the cellphone companies really wanted to attract customers then they would supply this service themselves. Of course, that means that they would need a competitive basket of products...

When clients upgrade with me I always try and check their historical usage for the last 3 months ... take the average and suggest going either on a higher or lower package. It often happens though that clients usage is not always constant. You will sometimes see dramatic rises and plummets in usage. Also ... if a client have signed a 24 month contract ... there will be fees involved in doing a downgrade to a lower pakcage if his usage no longer justifies the bigger pakcage 6 months into the contract.

You are an exception to the rule :p

But would you advise them to move to Cell C or Telkom Mobile (for example)?
 
guys this service is aimed at corporates that stand to save alot of money not so much for individuals.

seems like a good business idea that's taking off.

i wouldn't spend R35 per month on my R399 contract to check where I can save R120 or something.
