subject: Mobile Phone Upgrades : Are You Getting The Cheap And Best Contract ? [print this page] In mobile phone upgrade, a user gets free or cheaper discount mobile phone from his current network provider with whom he is with, since 1 year or more. Here user has to sign a contract agreement which says that user will use the same network for another 12 months or more.
While going for the mobile phone upgrades, one thing should be kept in mind that is, Network service providers pay bigger amount to the dealers for making new customers rather than keeping their existing customers with them. There is only one service provider who makes customers feel special for them is "Three" which is known as 3 or 3G. Only 3 value their existing customers same as they do for the new customers, otherwise no other network provider seem to value their existing customers much. So this unfair practice leads to the situation where users go for the network switchover.
The amount which service provider is planning to spend on you depends upon a fact that, how much money he is making from you. If he realize that he will make much more money by having a new customer rather than existing with you, than may be he will offer a new customer, more discount, a new mobile handset or may be more.
Customer can also remain with their existing number even after changing the network service. Customer can avail offers like free mobile phones, free gifts, discounts as new customers on a different network. Customers can check among the various network providers for the deal which suits them the best.
This idea of change can also be used as an advantage, if service provider get to know about user's wish to change the network, he might offer discount or some other beneficial scheme to the user. Mobile network provider do not want to lose their existing customers at any cost, existing customers are also important for the network provider to run their business. If an user find out that other network is providing more out of his/her money, then network provider can be questioned about comparison with other networks an can be asked for worth of money that is being paid by the user.
