Apple iPhone 4, one of the world’s best-selling smartphones, is
being used by Cosmote and Vodafone mobile telephony operators as a
means of keeping and attracting high-income clients, reveal the
commercial offers published by the operators.
Both Cosmote and Vodafone launched three tariff plans for iPhone,
with the lowest tariff being set at 19 euros, a sum above the
average telecom spending on the domestic market. At Cosmote, the
average monthly combined income per user stands at around 5 euros,
while at Vodafone the average monthly income from a subscriber
stands at 14.1 euros, and that from a prepay client at 2.5
euros.
Subsidies offered with the acquisition of an iPhone 4 also show
operators are targeting high-income users, and particularly those
already in the network. Business users make another target for
Vodafone.
Cosmote, the only operator that does not sell iPhone
network-locked, had a cautious approach in subsidising the phone,
including instead the biggest data traffic and number of SMSs, MMSs
and call minutes against the similar subscriptions of Orange and
Vodafone.
