Small annoyances no 37

 

I'm on Skinny, no. 1 and 2 midgets are in Spark, no. 3 midget 2 degrees.

 

So, why have Spark decided to bugger up a perfectly good system and move to 28 day prepay stuff, was it to convenient to be able to update automatically say 2 days after getting paid. And what do we get for that extra payment a month.

 

Why is it so difficult for 2Degrees (and Warehouse Mobile) to allow auto monthly credit card top ups to be a number I want, why does it have to be $20 or$10 pm, why mot $19 for a $19 combo.

 

Skinny is also on 28 days, which is just as annoying, but they are at least a bit cheaper, and I can top up with a number that doesn't end in zero.

 

This is all capitalisms fault, come the revolution...

This is to be expected as customers get more data / minutes for less $$ the best way they can increase revenue is move to 28 day packages

 

Not rocket science

Well yes good for them, and that's the main thing.

Because most people are on weekly or biweekly pay cycles. Particularly those that are so bad with money that they can only top up based on the pay cycle.

An interesting point, though being a bit cynical, I rather think they've done it for their own benefit. I just think its another form of shrinkflation, but maybe I'm wrong, I usually am.

 

Still see no reason why debits can't be for whatever amount you fancy though.

Of course they have done it for their own benefit well for the Share holders anyway
