Why is Roaming So Expensive?
Roaming is expensive for many different reasons, but here are just some of
them:
The official excuse
Networks like to claim that roaming is expensive because billing the call
is more complicated. This is true as the network you roam on gets part of
the money as well, and issues like VAT can complicate this further.
However, mobile networks have extremely complicated and powerful billing
systems anyway (how else would they be able to handle all the different
tariffs, discount packages and other nonsense that they have?). So this
excuse is like many old wives' tales - it does have a vague element of
truth, but nowhere near enough...
Networks are greedy
Up until now, networks have been able to get away with their high charging.
There was no real competition and they could therefore charge whatever they
liked. SaveMoneyOnRoaming.com changes this - you can now get
cheap roaming. Help punish the networks for their greed!
Networks spend millions on excessive
advertising
Just try it - see how long you can go without seeing advertising for one of
the big mobile networks. Orange like sharing the wisdom of their Chinese
wise man with you, and like reminding you to switch your phone off in the
cinema. O2 encourage you to "see what you can do" and the other networks
advertise heavily, often using expensive celebrities. T-Mobile tells you
to 'mix it', and Vodafone likes using catchy tunes from The Mock Turtles
and The Dandy Warhols. Every time you see
one of these ads, you can be sure that it cost thousands of pounds to make
the ad, and thousands of pounds to buy the airtime, outdoor advertising
or print media space. Do you want to help pay for this any more than
necessary? Thought not - get cheap roaming from
SaveMoneyOnRoaming.com.
Networks like to run expensive shops
High streets and shopping centres up and down the country are dominated by
mobile phone shops, and all the networks are at it. How much do you think
it costs to rent a shop on Oxford Street in London? Even worse, a lot of
these shops are run by people who like the 'visibility' idea of marketing,
which means you can have 2 shops from the same network within a mile of
each other. All this has to be paid for - do you want to pay for it?
