A lot of people are worried about cell phone bills.I was one of those people, but I saved a lot of money by using a cheap phone plan.On the same day, my friend changed to an affordable phone, but on the contrary to me, he said it wasn’t as good as I thought and canceled it.It seems that each person has different likes and dislikes depending on the situation.For those who are thinking about switching to an affordable phone, I will tell you the advantages and disadvantages of the affordable phone, so please check and see if it fits you.
Advantages of affordable phones.
low-cost plan
I think the best advantage of affordable phones is the low-cost system.It is much cheaper than the three mobile carriers (SKT, KT, and LG U+).You can choose an unlimited plan from less than 10,000 won.Various plans are recommended based on phone, text, and data usage, so you can compare them and choose one that suits you.
without agreement
It’s good not to have an agreement.If it’s short, it’s especially good for those who couldn’t change their equipment because of a 2- to 3-year contract.These days, there are so many new devices, so there are more than one or two inconveniences when an agreement is made.It’s also good that you can cancel it right away when you want because it’s contractless.
easy purchase and subscription
Affordable phones can be registered and opened without having to visit the agency.You can purchase USIM at the post office or convenience store and sign up yourself.If you buy USIM, it also tells you how to do it, and I think you can sign up right away without any inconvenience because it’s easy enough for anyone to follow right away.
communication quality
In the early days when affordable phones came out, there were many problems with communication quality.It’s been a long time now and there’s not much difference in quality.Not only phone calls and text messages, but also data usage is convenient in most areas.
disadvantages of affordable phones
deficient benefit
If it’s a disadvantage of a thrifty phone, I’ll be the first to mention the insufficient benefits.It’s not enough compared to what the three mobile carriers provided.For example, few membership services, no combined discount, no public announcement support, etc.For most people, the price of affordable phones will be cheap, but for some people, it can be similar or more damaging, so compare them in your own situation and choose whether to change them or not.
presence of impossible equipment
Affordable phones can only be opened on a self-sufficient basis.The self-sufficiency system is the best for convenience, but there are some devices that cannot be subscribed, so I recommend you to check carefully before purchasing.First of all, the devices that are not applicable are general smart devices except smartphones.The iPad Galaxy Tab Apple/Galaxy Watch, which many people use, is not available.Also, foreign phones such as Xiaomi are not available, so it is better to check carefully and choose.
inconvenient customer support
Earlier, I said that the benefits were insufficient.Customer support is also inconvenient.Due to the relatively lack of customer center support, the connection to the counselor is slow and there are few offline service branches, so AS can also be received relatively late.One of the reasons why people who frequently travel abroad should not use affordable phones is that overseas roaming is inconvenient.If you think of it as a low domestic fee, you may get hit by a fee bomb.Lastly, there are places where small payments are not possible, so those who use them a lot for games and shopping should find out and choose.
We looked into the advantages and disadvantages of affordable phones.I’m sure it’s good for some and bad for others.I hope you’ll find out and make a choice, and I’ll end the sentence.Thank you for watching until the end.
