He dTest compares prices so. unlimited tariffs at home and abroad. The survey focused on the tariffs of foreign operators that their content closest to the Czech menu. "The survey results Czech consumers certainly pleased. The situation can be summarized as that in other countries for the same service pay half the amount, and for your money you get much better service. Randomly be in Austria offers one of the operators within the unlimited tariff, besides calling and SMS and eleven times more data than us, and you can send unlimited SMS messages in the EU and USA. All this for less than half of Czech prices, "says Luke Green, head of the legal department Dtest.
Everyone largest Czech mobile operators offering unlimited tariffs within unlimited calls and SMS to all networks in the Czech Republic together with the data package amounting to 1.5 GB single price of CZK 749 per month. Dtest survey showed, among other things, that lower prices abroad are not only the work of different operators that the Czech Republic does not. The biggest Czech operators in other countries offer not only much cheaper fares, but they provide within them a much greater volume of services. "For example, with our Polish neighbors take for T-Mobile's unlimited plan with a data package amounting to 5 gigabytes per fabulous price of CZK 305 per month.

Sounds from the perspective of the Czech mobile services market as an absolute utopia, because none of the Czech operators are not under the unlimited tariffs this option or included in the offer.
"Operators obviously not measured by the same standards everywhere. While not argue the favorite phrases of differing costs of living in the EU, as paradoxically prices in developed European countries are considerably lower than either us or them for a comparable price offered significantly greater number of services, "says Green.
