Why Pay As You Go Isn’t All That Bad
Just this week, four people have told me how amazing their payg mobile broadband is. Then they’ve gone on to bang on – and on-and-on, in one case – about how amazing it is to have a contract mobile phone. They do this because they know that a) I have a Pay As You Go phone and don’t care much for contracts and b) they love the word amazing. Honestly? If it was me in charge I’d ban the word amazing, then I’d make everyone aware of just how devious the mobile phone people are.
See, it’s amazing that you can get a phone on contract that you could never get on Pay As You Go, and it’s amazing that you get all these free minutes and apps and things. Great. But what people don’t realise, when they enter into a contract, is what a pain it is to get out of one of these things. The fact is you can’t: I once had a contract phone, and the cancellation fee was so expensive that it was cheaper just to pay money every month, even though I barely used my phone because the network where I was was so rubbish.
Of course, there are loads of advantages, but Pay As You Go isn’t all that bad either. For example, yes it costs me much more per call, but if I don’t want to top up for a while then I don’t HAVE to. So I am free, in a way. And since everyone I know has enough free minutes to call me for hardly any cost, is there really any point in me also getting a contract phone?
