iPhone, the new offers of Tim and Vodafone Into This year 3 Italy confirms the cheapest rates, given monthly fees, any advances, and traffic included. However, the difference in fee with other operators in some cases is quite small, about 5 euro a month, and then those who prefer the services of competitors may not be groped by the price. Keep in mind that 3 has weekly thresholds for the calculation of traffic, so it is easier to stay within monthly from the thresholds adopted by its competitors (that question does not arise, of course, for the rates unlimited sms and calls). 3 also requires, to those who take the iPhone, an initial contribution of 90 € which is returned in the form of discount in any twelve month (they are not lost money, therefore, it may dry out having to anticipate). Last, the Internet network 3 has a cover substantially lower than that of competitors. While it is the operator with 3G network 42 Megabit (HSPA) more extensive, does not support the navigation GPRS / EDGE and LTE coverage very worst of Tim and Vodafone (although it intends to close the gap by December). However, Vodafone and Tim do pay a surcharge of 10 € per month for the LTE (additional fees on normal), while only 3 Italian one euro more. Tim with this premium is canceled with the lowest expensive (Unlimited Premium).
Into All in all, 3 Italy is very strong on offers of admission, as the competitors start at 30 (Tim) or 39 (Vodafone) EUR per month (plus advance € 99, ??in both cases), for the 5S. For the initial 5C rates are 30 € per month (without advance) for Tim and 34 Euros per month with 99 Euros for initial Vodafone.
In fact, the tariff comparisons have now a margin of arbitrariness because the operators have differentiated rates by introducing elements not directly comparable. Tim’s special for example have indeed a higher fee than those of Italy 3 but include unlimited minutes to Tim. Who has a lot of friends with this operator will be able to find them cheaper than those that have a fee of 3 cheaper but still a limited number of calls.
Into On the rates of calls and unlimited text messages, the cheapest offer in the strict sense is still 3 Italy, which on this front has become more competitive than last year: EUR 39,50 per month for iPhone and 5C 44,50 € per month for iPhone 5S. With up to 20 GB included: competing offers more generous stop just 5 GB. Telecom is not far: 50 € per month for All Inclusive Unlimited (2 GB of internet) with the iPhone 5S.Per 5C are 50 euro per month plus 10 € per month for 24 months, the first six months of the contract (for 30 canons) does not have an additional charge for the phone. With Vodafone Relax with 5S instead of the cost is 59 € per month (2 GB of internet), more than 99 initials. Five euro per month less for 5C.
Into Going up in price, you open up some interesting differences for Tim and Vodafone, with the All-Inclusive Premium Unlimited and Vodafone Complete Relaxation, respectively. In fact include traffic to / from Europe and the U.S. (3 aspect that Italy does not compete). With Tim the fee inclusive of 5S is 60 euro per month, compared to the 79 euro per month (plus 5 euro initial) Complete Relaxation. This offer is not the only not to provide any extra monthly for the 5S.
Obviously we have shown, in all cases, the price for the 16 GB model. You go up to 32 and 64 GB.
Into All things considered, if we remember that the iPhone 5S costs from € 739 per month free from the contract, thanks to an operator would save over 400 € (about 30 months); less with the 5C, according to our calculations. With the additional benefit of not having to anticipate money or only a small part.
Do not forget though that it is a move to ponder well. First, let’s do it for phones with which we are willing to stay for 30 months at least. We must ask ourselves whether it may be better to wait for the iPhone 6. The choice of the operator is delicate, too. Better not bind us to one that we have never experienced before in our area we may find that the reception is not that good.
Into The good news is that the rates for the iPhone 5S have become more expensive than last year (while of course the iPhone 5C has no comparison possible, since this is the first time that Apple proposes a model lower-end-though not much cheaper-than-peak). Now the starting bid is the Top 400 of 3 Italy, to 24,50 € per month plus € 70 in advance (for the 5S 16 GB) or 19.50 (for 5C, without advance) with 400 minutes, 100 sms and 2 GB of internet. For comparison: last year the Top 400 with iPhone 5 was at 29 Euros per month, with no down payment.
