It just gets better and better. They're virtually paying us for being
customers.

Probably what they'd have to do, IMHO.

So why don't they drop the 75p per month line rental for low users?

They can probably afford to, with all those 50p charges they're extorting
from low users.

I suppose they expect some usage on the account, even if they have to
pay for it.
It's gone midnight. I've made a call. Just waiting for the online
billing to notice so I can check to see if it really was free.

John Ottway and Wild Willy Barrett if I remember correctly. On TOTP
John was playing and singing stood on a crate and a big bearded Hells
Angel was stood beside him hand jiving, (Wild Willy?)

Easy would be really mega if they
- Dropped the minimum usage / 75p charge
- Dropped the rate down to match Tmobile at 12p minute
- Retained £3 Mb data charge
- Copied Orange GPRS for £4 4Mb month option
- Copied Orange for £1 'unlimited' day GPRS use

They've already sold us £72 credit for £2, then chucked in a load of
extra free calls, so I'm not asking for more right now
But you wonder just how long they will carry the bets of these
marketing losses, and how soon the captured customers will churn when
the offers tail off
In Denmark they achieved over 10% of the market in a year, but it seems
rather slower here for some reason

Quite right. I've received about as much credit, and I've found the
service to be relaible. The pricing is good for me - most of my phone
use is texting, and the Easy rate is very attractive.
I'd like Virgin to compete more with the Easy tarrif, and my
correspendence with Virgin leads me to believe there may be something
happening in September (I'm reading between the lines of emails I've
received).
I have found easy customer service to be very good, on par with Virgin,
and way ahead of T-Mobile...
And these promotional days are good for me. The remind me a bit of One
2 One and their free calls on Christmas Day (about 10 years ago).

How does their relationship with T-Mobile work? Do such promotions
really result in a loss, and if so, who is really losing - Easy or
T-Mob.
Maybe customers only churn whenthey explicitly request being cut off
from the service...

The market here is so confusing. Orange, T-Mob, Virgin, Voda, O2,
Fresh, Tesco, Easy, contracts, PAYG, hybrid tarrifs... It's mind
boggling at times. How are things in the Danish market? Maybe Easy is
the Danish Virgin...?

I've just checked my third easy phone, which I got with the first 'giveaway'
a while back.
There's been *no* use on it yet, but it still has the full £23 (?) credit
on, so when do they take the 75p?

I know, bit of a cheek of me at the moment cos I'm using oddles of
airtime that cost me £1 and today have made free calls

Exactly hence my thoughts at what would be a mega package when the
deals expire

I think because we have a rather saturated market and user inertia.
I've got a pocketful of SIMs, Orange for data. Tmobile for xnet. Voda
for Passport and Stop the Clock. Virgin for roaming GPRS. Cellnet/O2
cos I have a legacy paid up for life All Time 50 (50 minutes month for
lifewith no further fees - £60 off ebay 4 years ago). I would like to
simplify things hence my thoughts about Easy - or indeed any other
telco.
I'm using Easy on an XDA as it gives the best combination for me on
data and xnet. I also use my Cellnet/O2 Alltime 50 SIM (peak) and Voda
(off peak) for voice on a dual sim'd K700i. If Easy instead of giving
all this airtime away gave me 12p (or less) xnet calling and Orange
data rates (part way there) that would be cool as I could then drop my
Orange and Tmobile SIMs.
Easy have shown that they are willing to change some of their pricing
structures so who knows.
It would be cool not to have the 75p charge but there again I think it
not unreasonable to make 11 mins of chargeable calls a month. For those
who only have the SIM for emergency use, fine, but the cost of
servicing a number that is rarely used is passed on to those who use
the service rather more often. I am a tight arse myself but I find some
posts in this and other NG's incredible, e.g. one poster had a SIM in a
drawer !! and wanted to keep the number active, he had no incoming
calls and didn't want to make a five second call every six months or
whatever because that would cost him 5p! yet he expects the telcos to
pick up the cost of servicing his number which is not used and pass it
on to us. In the US if you don't put credit on after 90 days they close
the account and reuse the number (bit iffy).

Sorry, I was misleading slightly. The Danish network is TDC Mobil, and
it is they who have signed a brand licencing deal with Easy, but
haven't yet managed to match their growth there.
