Interesting article in the Independent on the numbers behind our mobile “deal” with UK providers (or any provider, come to think of it). At Rebtel, we’ve been saying for a long time how we love our operators, and how inclusive minutes are a boon, rather than a curse. The Indepent writes:

It used to be common for unused minutes, paid for as part of your monthly contract, to roll over until the next period. This is no longer the case. While there are exceptions – certain Orange price plans allow a roll-over for one month – few of us bother to check if the time we spend on the phone matches the time we’ve paid for. A recent survey conducted by Uswitch.com revealed that around £1.8bn worth of calls and texts included in monthly contracts go unused each year – that’s £90 per person. It’s no surprise that many of us are too lazy to keep tabs on our tariffs and talk-time. And the mobile networks aren’t about to remind us.

We say: use the minutes in your bucket plans to call through Rebtel. £90,- left unused by you and me: at Rebtel we know how to make those work.
