我算了下Rogers, Fido,Koodo,Freedom Mobile, Telus的两年计划,以500分钟2G流量的计划为基准。
Freedom Mobile的两年计划$1756赢得最实惠计划冠军。
另外三个公司的定价策略有一个特点,就是首付在接近3/4时(Fido $719, Koodo$670),总开销突然比上面的计划出现断崖式差距(因为他们都没有$85,$75的选项)。所以$60元月费的计划成为首选。原因不清楚,可能是市场竞争最激烈的计划。
如果类推到其它手机。$60元计划与带机入网的$45元计划流量相当。所以,其实二年内,实际你为设备的付出是$360。在他们的定价策略中,60元计划的首付的与零售价的差额应当大于$360,因为手机公司要利用这个来换取你与他们两年的合约。以FIDO为例,全付$1099-$719(60月计划)= $380。就是他们以小小的$20元代价,将你绑定两年。当然,你手机服务总是要的,不绑在这,也绑在另一公司上。
基本上来说,就是不能盲目追求低首付,一定要尽量首付在到$60计划,才最划算。在$95月费以上的计划,基本要被狠宰一把。
这个表格还没算什么911或杂费,Tax,账单下来还要你掏更多。
