So now also mobile phone rates: After huge price increases for energy, food and other everyday goods, Austrians will soon be confronted with higher costs for internet and telephony. A change can be worth it.
A1, Drei and Magenta have announced inflation-related price increases of 8.5 to 11.5 percent for existing customers. However, before switching providers, make it clear what the ideal rate is for you. We’ll tell you how to find out where you get the best value for money, what’s important besides data volume and costs, and why ‘subsidized’ mobile phones are still expensive.
How to find out what you need
To determine the ideal mobile tariff, you need to know your personal needs. For devices with the Android operating system, open the device settings and find the menu item “Data usage”. iPhone users can find the usage in the device settings under the menu item “Mobile data”. Here the amount of mobile data volume that has been used in the past month is registered.
If you surf a lot via WLAN at home, you may use much less data than is included in your mobile subscription. Even the 10 euro tariffs of the cheap mobile operators nowadays contain 20 to 30 gigabytes of LTE data volume. If you consume less, you are more than adequately supplied.
