Compared to prepaid users in the United States, Spain, Italy, Germany and France, those in the UK are benefiting of cheaper mobile phone and broadband deals. Ofcom has created 5,000 household profiles to come to this conclusion. Participants of the survey include households with most basic mobile requirements through those with more comprehensive communications services. The other positions in the top five are occupied by Spain, Germany, France and Italy, while the United States takes the sixth position.
Mobile phones are no longer objects of luxury and they can be spotted in the hands of budget-conscious consumers. The advent of affordable prepaid plans has allowed commoners to immediately a device of their own. When they go for prepaid plans, consumers could have complete control over any aspect of mobile communication.
They can decide the amount of money they intend to pay for their talk time. Activating the plan should require no waiting time and it can be performed instantaneously. They can do whatever they like with the phone, such as switching to different carrier and they don’t have to stick with inflexible, rigid schemes. This would be helpful, because some prepaid network providers are notorious for changing the plan without informing customers.
