Jeepers, it takes a little more than a little flexibility. A lot of quick disposable money first, and then you can afford to think about flexibility. Sorry, I saw “New MVNO”, and I thought there might be an outside chance of a new approach, or at the very least a change in perspective: Instead of targeting smart phone wannabe’s,and selling data-centric plans, I had hoped for a more modest offer to people who like, and need a phone for doing exactly that: phoning. In the hype (and probably profit), the small users really are getting lost. And consequently it’s opening up the low-income market to all kinds of extortion. Take the senior’s cellphone market for example; there’s a host of providers out there selling ‘specialized’ devices for seniors, but as soon as you attach that term to anything, it suddenly quadruples the price – for a basic device?! And so that leaves budget minded pensioners with the only prepaid, nationwide option: tracfone’s SVC brand of phone, and plans. Now how healthy is that? Apart from at least having the option, which is good, I think carriers need to rethink strategies a little, and offer products across the board of markets.
