壟斷

2007-10-01 | by cgrotto_admin | Categories: 雜論

Mobile

幾年前﹐電訊業競爭激烈﹐所以收費計劃選擇多和便宜﹐合約短﹐贈送的電話質數也較高。

自從大的電訊公司合併﹐競爭者減少﹐在市場壟斷的情況下﹐消費著選擇少很多﹐逼著要挨那越來越高的月費。

洞主的手提電話服務兩年約滿﹐早前電話公司致電留言﹐建議續約﹐可以順便upgrade電話。

其實早於兩年前﹐出一部比較像樣的手提電話﹐除了要簽兩年長約外﹐還要繳交額外費用。

所以對於所謂upgrade電話﹐也不敢抱有期望。

前幾天去到附近的銷售店﹐店員就向我展示一列續約後免費贈送的電話。

我望著眼前一桌又大又不好看﹐功能又少的電話﹐心想怎麼電話又開始流行越來越大的款式﹖照這種趨勢可能過幾年美國又會流行以前那種水壺型的。-_-"

隨手拿起一隻龜殼般大的﹐不禁皺起眉頭。

「 沒有別的選擇了嗎﹖你們好像請我來upgrade ﹐不是來downgrade的。」我用無奈的眼神看著店員說。

店員苦笑了一下﹐搖搖頭。

「那麼﹐請問有沒有加錢換的型號﹖」我問。

「其實你現在用的電話已經不錯﹐所以就算加費後﹐可以選擇的還是不多...」店員回答﹐完全沒有意欲向我展示其他型號的電話。

兩年前的型號﹐現在還算不錯﹖我不知道店員的意思是不是純粹建議我乾脆不要拿新電話﹐繼續每月繳交電話費給他們就好了。

我告訴她我要想想看﹐然後二話不說就離開了。

後來在網上找到個第三銷售商﹐提供一個比較可以接受的優惠﹐就決定申請了﹐過兩天會收到新的電話。

真懷念百花齊放的日子...

In Taiwan, we have many choices with new cell phone style during 續約. I think people here like to use mobile and 根據統計現在平均一人超過一隻手機. Not sure the purpose anyway... maybe different mobile for different boy/girl friends. haha!

HK has the newest and most mobile phones in the world. Generally there is a new one available every month. Mobile phone companies use HK to test the market response before launching their products worldwide. Based on the response, they will improve their design and features, or simply pull out from the market. The best of all is you can use the phone on any carrier. There won't be any lock on the phone to force you to choose a single carrier, just like the iPhone now. So I think you should buy a phone from HK and bring back to the states to use. Just make sure you choose a GSM plan.

Re: linda
I already sent you the link. If I receive the phone before end of the week, I can bring it to the fellowship so that you may have a look before you decide.

Re: Aga
有見地... but I am not in the pursuit of new models as they come out too frequently. I assume the high montly fee does include the price of the phone, I just want to get a ok model... there's no point in spending additional cost buying a phone somewhere else.

Do you need to pay service charge for unlocking the phone?

反正到處都在搶錢... -_-

美國的固定月費比起香港貴不少﹐尤其對於我這種少用電話的...

我最近都係換咗手機(see my blog)。

既然您少用電話﹐不妨用電話卡。唔使畀電話公司綁死。^^

Re: ching
呢邊嘅pay-as-you-go service又係好搵苯﹐分分鐘無乜點用都貴過簽contract。-_-
