Telecom's 'suspicious' offer

[benlav]

Anyone here with Telecom? I'm currently on a plan which is about 120gb for I think $105 or something, plus the tivo scam on top of that. Anyway, I received an offer in the post this week, offering to up my allowance to 150gb for $6 less. Not only that, in they are offering the chance to win a samsung 3 if you do it before sometime soon. Then in the fine print, it says if you switch plans, you can't revert back. So naturally I'm really suspicious. I cant figure out why I wouldn't want to get more data for less money. But I can't seem to figure out what their angle is... anyone else know?

edit: just to clarify, that includes the land line. I never really use it so I think local calls are free.

Maybe you are just on an old plan which they are trying to get rid of?

[camy205]

On the 120gb plan as well, think they have a new 500gb plan for 20 bucks extra. They probably are trying to get rid of that plan

[Emrico1]

Probably cable rolling though soon and they are wanting to stitch you up... Or something. You're right to be sus, they aren't doing it to be good guy gregs.

Because you're living in the past, rofl.
120Gb for over $100.
fuck I pay $70 and get over 150Gb.

Not with telecom, but pretty much all places radically increased their caps a wee while back.

So get with it. It's not so much telecom that you need worry about, it's your lack of market research. You're paying too much for shit all as it is.
Likely they're trying to consolodate their customer base as other's have suggested, so they don't end up with some crazy logistical nightmare.

[Retardobot]

Boom.

Just got the same letter. Was on 160GB for $135 a month.

Now on 500GB a month for $129 a month.

Win.

[Pyromanik]

Winning.

[BerG]

8GB for $160 a month.

Living in the mountains, fuck yes.

The 150GB plan is way better... IF youre not making massive amounts of toll calls. No you will not be able to change back as the old 120gb plan is no longer grandfathered. Dunno about the chance to win a free S3, take that shit with a pinch of salt. But yeah, if you aren't calling all over the place all the time the new plans are way better value. If you want flick me a pm Ill make sure youre saving money (f**k the bandwagon homos)



TRU STORY

[Pyromanik]

No rage at all, sorry if you interpreted it that way.

Why didn't you just ask your wife?

[Retardobot]

LOL.

Yeah, asking your wife would surely garner a much more accurate response considering her place of work.

[Spigalau]

Bobs rule 203: Man should never ask wife anything for fear of getting an ear bashing he did not want.

[benlav]

My wife deals with supplier negotiations and contracts. Very little to do with retail telecoms.

No, rest assured it's not because of you. But what is hilarious is that he STILL hasn't given up.
