How can I compare different telcos prices?
Very difficult to do accurately, because of the complex discounting structure operated by some telcos and the varying usage patterns of subscribers. The automated comparisons found on the Internet depend upon the telcos’ making comprehensive, up-to-date information available in a format which can be integrated into the same database. Independent consultants can analyse your usage and make a tailored report, but the cost of the report has to be balanced against any likely savings. Beware – some consultants may not be independent, and some may offer to carry out the report for a share of the savings but want to tie you into a long term agreement which may not be appropriate – always read the small print before signing anything.
