Crazy December's battle for new subscribers in Moscow between the MTS and Beeline successfully completed in January could relax a little and slowly reflect on new initiatives for prepaid-subscriber. It is for them, since the mass prepaid-market is the tidbit from the standpoint of obtaining an attractive statistic for shareholders. To invent something really new and original with each passing year becomes more difficult, but it is not scary: you can always repeat the well-proven action-zavlekalochku.
MTS: SMS for half price
Funny coincidence - or is not a coincidence? The appearance of billboards MTS with the inscription "Great little worth, and the number" 50 "coincided with the appearance of Beeline tariff" Super 50 ". Details about the new MTS look here. We can say, done an event of historic significance: two times cheaper SMS-messages, and it is great happiness to all fans of mobile-written communication. Finally, MTS 'super-Jeans stop squint enviously at their colleagues' O'Laytom "with his trehtsentovymi SMS! However, after a careful study of conditions share some initial enthusiasm is tempered. Things to note:
Validity of shares - less than two months (until March 31), and extends this initiative is only for new connections and only to the tariff Super Jeans. Why is this the TP - it is easy to guess, this is the rate recently losing its position as one of the leading prepaid-marketplace. For intra-communication "Jeans-007" profitable, and for mixed traffic with lots of local calls, people are increasingly choosing contracting TA MTS or prepaid-rates of other operators. Super Jeans "in his time is certainly the hit of the season, but today looks less attractive.
Simply switch from the current TA Super Jeans does not work, it requires the purchase and activation of a new set.
Discount does not apply to premium SMS-chat, voting, ordering ring tones, pictures, etc. services.
Share a role to perform and cheap SMS consumers were found, the benefit of the time of the selected flawlessly - the mass "SMS-Valentines" and congratulations on March 8. Many certainly happy will give 49 rubles for the opportunity to send one hundred and fifty Greeting SMS-app for the holidays.
Beeline: Action "15"
Detailed information on "15" look here.Action Beeline to add 15% bonus dollars / cents for payment was first launched about a year ago, today we see its reincarnation in its previous form with minimal changes. All parameters remained unchanged, with our last year's survey can be found here. It works only on the tariffs with the online charging, ie All TA Bee + GSM and Prime. The essence of the campaign in a nutshell: Call number 0815 (which connects to the program), then you make payments to begin considered. After reaching the threshold of $ 15 (amount and timing of payments can be anything) comes to an SMS-message that the next payment will be a bonus. The bonus amount - 15% of the payment. After transfer to the account payment + bonus again begins the accumulation of payments until a threshold of $ 15, then history is repeating itself. It is obvious that getting the error threshold is reached, it makes sense to deposit more, and "mezhdubonusnye" payments to limit the required 15 tugriks. The maximum amount of lump-sum payment in the system Bi + $ 5000, but that's the theory. Realistically, even in the planning fees and availability of money, the average bonus amount is unlikely to exceed 10%.
There were certain "neponyatki" with the terms of the action. Officially, the program is valid until August 31, 2005, after which 15% bonus will no longer accrue. On this fair warning on the website and in news reports. Those who joined the first such action in May last year, received SMS-message with the notification of the date 31.08.2005. However, in the "old" versions of the shares of any terms of speech were no restrictions now - not entirely correct. Specified in the subscription service: indeed, the current promotion is valid until 08/31/2005, and last year's expiration does not matter. It's funny, but it's true. One can not but rejoice that the action is beneficial to all prepaid-subscribers, and is not another "carrot" solely to promote new connections.
MegaFon-Moscow: gifts will be later?
At this time, Megaphone elephants are not handed out (not counting cards, valentines), which do not have to wonder: is planning a set of subscribers, 2 million users in the Moscow region already have. Play "dogonyashki with MTS and Beeline yet meaningless, and the planned rate of new connections are easily adjustable tuning of tariffs and prices of prepaid-sets. Accordingly, to establish "rides unheard generosity" not necessary. Is that the official celebration of the two millionth connection with something "tasty" to celebrate. While recalling the history of tuning the famous tariff FIX, more likely one can predict the news of another kind.
