我算了下Rogers, Fido,Koodo,Freedom Mobile, Telus的兩年計劃,以500分鍾2G流量的計劃為基準。
Freedom Mobile的兩年計劃$1756贏得最實惠計劃冠軍。
另外三個公司的定價策略有一個特點,就是首付在接近3/4時(Fido $719, Koodo$670),總開銷突然比上麵的計劃出現斷崖式差距(因為他們都沒有$85,$75的選項)。所以$60元月費的計劃成為首選。原因不清楚,可能是市場競爭最激烈的計劃。
如果類推到其它手機。$60元計劃與帶機入網的$45元計劃流量相當。所以,其實二年內,實際你為設備的付出是$360。在他們的定價策略中,60元計劃的首付的與零售價的差額應當大於$360,因為手機公司要利用這個來換取你與他們兩年的合約。以FIDO為例,全付$1099-$719(60月計劃)= $380。就是他們以小小的$20元代價,將你綁定兩年。當然,你手機服務總是要的,不綁在這,也綁在另一公司上。
基本上來說,就是不能盲目追求低首付,一定要盡量首付在到$60計劃,才最劃算。在$95月費以上的計劃,基本要被狠宰一把。
這個表格還沒算什麽911或雜費,Tax,賬單下來還要你掏更多。
