Cheaper phone plans for Canadians could be closer than we think.
On Monday, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced that it’s reached a significant milestone in increasing phone services competition in Canada.
They clearly will. Assuming you are not lying, your claim is demonstrative of it.
They just don’t usually have to because most people are more than happy give up more. If someone is begging to pay you $80 per month, why would you only charge them $45?
They won’t, those plans are exclusive for business users. I worked as a loyalty rep for Bell so I got to see all of the disgusting prices business-class people pay.
There are better plans you can get as ‘retention plans’ per say, but you have to really milk the system i.e, bitch to your rep until they cave and they’re not nearly as good as business class plans. But anythings better if you can get it tbh.
Also, no one is begging to pay $80. These are all hidden plans. If anything, the average customer is getting scammed.
They do. It is true that businesses are less likely to be emotionally driven, and more likely to have people on staff calculating exactly what a service is worth to their business. If you tried to charge them $80 they’d laugh and walk away.
Yes, similarly the consumer who refuses to pay top dollar will see a lower rate come their way.
Granted, it is unlikely a consumer will put on as much pressure as a business. If the operator says: “Nope. It’s $80 or nothing” the business will, again, laugh and go use two-way radio or something else instead. A regular consumer is more likely to find value in having such service – their friends don’t have two way radios or some such – thus will be willing to pay more.
They are. While the number was arbitrarily selected, it is pretty clear that lots of people are keen to pay an amount in that ballpark, if not more. The price is set by what the customer is willing to pay. Why would you charge them less?
My personal plan is $55 for $75 gig and unlimited calling to 28 countries. Via koodo.
