Djinn,

All in all,these other providers are still far behind Safcom by far,remember those guyz in Kibich with their high traffic the call time is averagely between 15 and 45 seconds so somehow they still dont clog the network for long and as yu say this tarrif aim to improve quality,a blanket cheap tarrif cannot be supported by safcom network,so give your customers something back but safeguard on quality........imagine there are people who will be calling sub 3 bob throughout,you expect them to move to YU.....naaahhh!!!!


The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

the supa ongea thing is a better compromise....

the limit being 0.80 - 8.00 is better than the previous 10/- all day long...

today in the morning i actually called at 80 cents....

you've heard me..

I found this quite intriguing. Last night i switched my hubby to supa ongea and the discounted rate was displayed as 80c per minute. I checked mine at the same time and it was 2 bob per minute. Doesn't make any sense

Shakl,

As Chris has said this was most probably caused by overlap,most common in densely populated areas with many BTSs so standing next to somebody does not necessarily imply being on the same cell.........still 80 cents or 2 bob is a bargain....huh!!!!

According to what I understand from the terms and conditions,the rates are determined on an hourly basis based on historical statistics in that particular cell location. Unless you're in a vehicle your phone is unlikely to register in two cell locations at the same time. Hence when you do *155# what you see displayed is what you'll be charged. And even if you're in a moving vehicle and you initiate a call in a cell where the rate is 80 cents,you'll be charged at that rate regardless whether you move into an 8 bob cell or not. In other words,it's the TIME and LOCATION of initiating the call that matters. My two cents...

Be the change you want to see in the world...
