Comparison of mobile operator tariffs

When choosing a mobile operator, you need to carefully consider what you really need.
Don't just go for the low price, but rather check what the price includes and what benefits the operator offers. Why try a virtual operator?

We've already covered choosing a tariff in a previous article. Here we detail how to calculate the amount of data you'll need to function so that you never run into problems with data shortages. Now we will focus on the well-known mobile operators and make an indicative comparison.

Unlimited tariff - yes or no?

The big three, as Vodafone, O2 and T-Mobile are often called, come with many different benefits, but are they really better than the virtual ones?

Vodafone's unlimited tariff offers a combination with home internet and includes unlimited calls and texts to all the operator's networks. T-Mobile has three offers that vary in volume and speed of mobile data, as does O2. With both you can expect unlimited SMS and calls.

All of these options sound interesting, but on the other hand, they are expensive compared to virtual operator services and many people don't even take full advantage of them. If you only use the internet on your mobile sometimes and are on Wi-Fi the rest of the time, or don't spend much time on your phone each day (e.g. seniors), an unlimited plan isn't worth it.

Virtual operators

One of the main benefits of all virtual operators is the lower price. Among the best known are Blesk mobil and Tesco Mobile. Lightning mobile allows clients to make cheap calls to all networks, easily port their phone number and enjoy convenient data packages - without any long-term commitments. Tesco Mobile, on the other hand, promises you free calls and texts (within this network) in addition to calls to other networks at a discounted price. But these are far from the only benefits available, there are many other virtual providers on the market - Telestica among them.

With Telestica, you can get tariffs priced between 100 and 300 CZK per month. Each one comes with a certain amount of free minutes and data volume, which you can increase as you wish - the tariff can be changed once per billing period and you don't have to subscribe to anything. You'll also find child and senior tariffs among the options. One of the biggest advantages is that you can enjoy the tariff for three months for free - just recommend the service to your friends. The more new customers you bring in, the longer you'll have the free plan.

And what about calling abroad?

The same prices apply in Liechtenstein, Norway, Iceland and twenty-eight EU countries as in the Czech Republic.
