Movistar Pluraal cut its rate to reach 100,000 users
Price Pluraal Movistar was launched last fall with the major advantage that calls between Movistar clients who have hired this rate in prepaid and contract speak for 0 cents / minute including the first 60 minutes of each call in exchange for a monthly fee of one euro.
But seeing this fee will also lowered its rate to other destinations the more customers have contracted so today, beating 100,000 activations, this fee will be automatically lowered to 16 cents a minute in contract and 32 cents per minute prepaid card.
If to get the first cut we had to wait almost eight months, it will take much more likely to see another discount because we now have to wait to get 150,000 new activations with the disadvantage that the rate of activation is reduced.

Share the connection between the iPhone and to IPAD Movistar will be free for a year
At the announcement of the specific rates for IPAD in Spain, Movistar unveiled its intentions to allow sharing the same data rate across multiple devices at once without extra charge and now we know their conditions.
How to share this connection through the service will Multisim (or multi-homed) that allows two or more SIM cards with the same phone number and thus with the same benefits associated with the rate of voice and data that had already contracted.
This service is available with any of the incumbents, but the difference is that Movistar will offer it for free for one year if requested by 31 October 2010 Contracts (or have hired) a data rate of 25 euros minimum fee per month or higher.
The cost of maintaining the service once the promotion and over 12 months is 3 euros / month those who will have to add a fee of 12 euros if you request from November.
Although in principle the promotion only lasted a year, is thankful that at least one operator at no cost for sharing a same data rate across multiple devices at once and that increasingly Internet-connected devices, are necessary responses like this that much more expensive fixed costs and we usually pay.

CMT Results March: Yoigo is the operator which enjoys better health
This March 2010 Yoigo we can say that the operator has performed better as not only an operator portability live without that taking into account all the ups and all casualties, Yoigo also has been the best performers but all operators are growing in number of customers.
If we consider only the data portability, March almost break the record again as has achieved the second highest number portability in mobile lines of the last two years. Regarding net income, Yoigo is the one with capture more customers by porting a total of 45 436 new lines followed by Orange and MVNOs with 24 588 10 780.
On the opposite side, which then is why are lines with 35 801 lines Movistar Vodafone sees less and 45 003 lines to escape but in this case, Vodafone explained that if they had taken account numbers are fixed to mobile, the deficit is "only" 1325 lines would have been.

Comparative rates for official IPAD
After the disappointing release of "specific charges" for IPAD that rather seems to have been an attempt to reputation of the traditional carriers, we compare the new arrangements come to extend a the huge new category of fees that exist for connections from the phone and from your computer.
As used to happen with Movistar, Vodafone and Orange have launched the rates are quite similar and the three operators have agreed to offer unlimited traffic to any of their options in exchange for reducing the speed to 128Kbps if contract to exceed the limit but never charged anything extra in the country.
To make the comparison more accurate, we will take into account the VAT rates to avoid any confusion with the prices in your letter published Orange press reports that it is a prepaid mode, tax included.
In addition to these fees, operators will go on sale the new cards necessary MicroSim introduce into the IPAD and in no case will remain associated as of now, we assume that no operator will subsidize.
Ability to share prices in several devices
Movistar has been the only operator that officially will share the same data rate to multiple devices at once and at no extra cost but this option is only available for those who have contracted (or migrate) at a rate of 25 or 39 euros / month.
instead said Vodafone that the rates are independent of the rest IPAD rate although there is always the possibility of a multi-homed (fee of 3 euros per month) to double the data service that can be hired on the computer (Internet rates from 19 euros Contigo / months) and thus share it with the IPAD. For more intensive uses, Vodafone customers can also contract the fee Unlimited Internet Contigo 39 euros / month in a MiFi connection sharing through WiFi.
Orange for its part has made known to prevent multicard ( ECO card) of the IPAD SIM since this service is available to prepaid customers but as equals, may make Vodafone also be activated everywhere contract rates with the MiFi to provide the same benefits in a number of devices time.

Price Comparison for individuals Voice Movistar, Vodafone and Orange
Had long actualizábamos not compare our voice so today we will begin by reviewing the particular contract rates Movistar, Vodafone and Orange to simplify all the options in a single box to make it somewhat easier, despite the many options.
The table is divided into three columns where the first refers to the type of calls that you might be interested, in the middle column summarizes the traditional rates that apply a price per minute (plus connection charge of 15 cents except when specified otherwise) while in the third column are the so-called flat rates are only minutes away where no bonus is paid establishment rather limited and sometimes call "to avoid abuses ".
once compared the various rates that we see other differences that must be taken into account.
The exchange rate within the same operator is free whereas Movistar and Orange Vodafone charges 15 euros per cambio.Las flat rates may have other limits than the maximum number of minutes included. Specifically Movistar also limits the maximum number of calls per month which will be the same as the number of minutes included in each tariff (eg up to 300 minutes or 300 calls). Orange in turn limits their flat rates to a maximum of 60 minutes per call to 75 different destinations each month. Vodafone has no other additional límite.Beneficios. Vodafone offers automatic discounts with flat rates if the fixed contracts Vodafone at home, mobile or ADSL internet. Orange offers bonuses SMS to send all the afternoon and a module that extends free calls at flat rates 24 hours of the weekend in exchange for 4.90 euros per month.
Clarify that any of these tariffs can grant terminal rates as low cost of these operators do not allow steady partners (Simple Movistar, Vodafone and Basic Tiny Orange) are compared with other operators in the comparative low cost fares will update soon.

CMT Results February: Another view
The report of the CMT for the month of February 2010 is in line with recent months and in general all network operators continue to grow, focusing on portability, Movistar and Vodafone are the only ones giving way as we do a deeper analysis of these data.
Apart from the positive development of MVNOs Yoigo and continue, and possibly continue paying for a long time net upward for its low-cost strategy (increasingly crucial for users) but also because they have 94% of the market as possible its customer and that too helps a lot to offer when bottom line.
Focusing is the net results of portability in February, Yoigo was the operator with greater gain through lines (40,182), followed by Orange (16,334) and virtual operators (11,141). Movistar and Vodafone gave 24,675 and 42,982 respectively, although these data lines are not so encouraging for some, not so bad for others.
If you look at the exported or lost customers portability, I think it is Movistar significant to note that, as the operator with more customers, which also has a smaller number of customers decided to leave because the operator has only missed during February to 0.66% of its portfolio. Vodafone and Orange are practically the same percentage of 0.80% loss while Yoigo and MVNOs are those customers less satisfied with the infidels or lose by porting the 0.91% and 1% respectively.
(# ) For high total in the last quarter, between December and February was the most benefited Yoigo to capture 41.42% of lines won by the operators, followed by Movistar, which is the most advanced after its collapse last month and reached 23.90%. Vodafone manages to gain 20.74% 13.94% Orange with OMV and is stuck in a 0 %.
These quarterly data are more realistic to take into account the data portability, new high and low but accurate assessment of developments, we will compare this data with February 2009 and see the results are not as outrageous as it is intended that sometimes even if you notice a change (software) in the market trend.
Along with this data and knowing that there are currently a total of 52,527,777 lines in Spain, Movistar tell then to 22.85 million, Vodafone 16.05, 10.64 Orange, OMV Yoigo with 1.48 and 1.52 million, which means that all operators have grown despite the fact that the pie is shared with minor variations in the percentage.

Spring Promotion Movistar: all 24 hours 100×1
Among the great promotions of the year to which operators have accustomed us, are the Christmas and summer but in recent years, Movistar has pleased us with other small promotions in the fall or spring as it touches in this case.
In particular, Movistar repeats with 100 × 1 24 hours to any domestic destination until 16 May by a single high share of 3 euros (plus VAT) which will allow customers prepaid card and contract Movistar talk to 100 minutes per call pay only the first minute of their present rate.
The promotion is limited to a maximum of 1000 minutes free during the period of enjoyment and is not compatible with the whacked, the Tariff Rate Simple or Plural. Also remember that since last summer, 100 × 1 Movistar charged on the first full minute as Vodafone rather than in seconds from the first second.
To sign up must be done by calling 1200 at a cost of 23 cents a call.

Speak for 0 cents with friends switch to Movistar
The promotions bring friends to any operator are often a cheap and effective way to attract customers through the recommendation of friends or relatives who are already on an operator and will benefit for his work in "commercial ".
Movistar has already laid hands on several occasions of this type of promotion in April and re-launches its Bring a Friend to the style of Friends to zero which will allow Orange to speak for 0 cents minute between sensor and captured over a year from sel June 11, 2010.
The procedure to enjoy the promotion involves both parties and that first, the current Movistar client will have to call for free at 223,526 indicate the telephone number of the possible interested in porting their number to Movistar, then portability will apply as usual.
Calls to 0 will have to pay the connection charge of 15 cents and will limit free minutes while the promotion is limited to bringing one friend by Movistar customer, so you should choose who you want to sponsor it.
Bring a Friend of Movistar may be requested before May 31 but something tells me this type of promotion will be extended if we consider that the telephone harassment suffered by many commercial offerings, and is not allowed and operators look for other ways of attracting customers.

Sony Ericsson and Samsung Onix Lively and Movistar points
Among the new points program Movistar in April, we will desatacar two of the most interesting phones that have been included but will now try to clarify that this does not imply its availability stores from day one and that operators do not provide information on the stock or the actual date from which you can buy but it should not take.
One of the terminals is the Sony Ericsson this month Lively Vodafone has also included and may be interesting for its 8-megapixel camera with video recording in HD, 8GB microSD card included, and HSPA connectivity (10/2Mbps), WiFi, GPS and bluetooth.
(# )
The Onix Samsung S5620, which will soon also include Orange, stands out for its HSDPA (3.6Mbps), WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, 3.15 megapixel, TFT screen 3-inch capacitive revamped user interface that integrates TouchWiz 2.0 Plus the major social networks and instant messaging applications more than set a price:
Data portability between different mobile virtual network operators in 2010
In January we reviewed the results of portability throughout 2009 between the Spanish operators and although we saw the set data MVNO (mobile virtual network operators), we were left with the feeling of wanting to know some more specific data about each OMV separately.
For now we will have to make do with data portability for January and February 2010 but at least we may be getting an idea of how they're doing to all operators separately and consider whether they are consistent with its rates and last movements.
In the accumulated 2010 Pepephone OMV has proved to be the most benefited by capturing a total of 5765 lines it seems that their offers continuous and almost unbeatable rates for all types of needs are bearing fruit.
Very closely followed Simyo captured with 5350 lines but in this case, the deviation from the last year represents a reduction of almost 55% in comparison. Dato fairly representative of the sector is very critical of the immobility of their voice tariffs (despite offering a very good choice) or changes in data rate. The fact is that users of MVNOs seem to be the most unfaithful of all.
Also have closely followed and R Jazztel probably have gotten so many users ported by their offers of fixed band wide.
Hits and Másmovil also successful in obtaining very good results in portability and is that in these cases, the voice tariffs include calls at 0 cents between customers also often a good option. (# )
But there are MVNOs to lose customers and on this side are traders and Lebara (which has raised rates several times and that it is taking its toll), Happy Móvil is aimed primarily at immigrants or Day and Carrefour can not to emphasize as much as others even if they offer similar rates to those who are most fortunate MVNOs. And while Euskaltel also continues to lose customers for portability, its data have improved almost 75% compared with a year ago so its latest improvements in rates may also be paying off.
Without a doubt the rates are being a very important point when switching operators as data shows Movistar and Vodafone but they continue blaming the loss of prepaid customers which do not offer competitive when compared with the MVNO. Orange, remains in the right direction and rates as of 9 cents / minute on prepaid along with terminals from different ranges, you may be helping.
Finally, Yoigo that is most beneficial for all and that is among the few operators having voice and data rates quite striking, it also offers subsidized terminals.
All data on these outcomes can consult them in the image above.
Although these data are fairly representative, it should be noted that in the study did not include the new numbers high, thanks to which, all operators win customers and even the traditional can overcome any of the other operators.
( #) but also the important thing is not only the number of visitors recruited if their income and in this area, Vodafone is still the most profitable among the operators that provide economic data. Is it that apart from tariffs, users who provide more value also takes into account the grant of terminals and the service provided
