It is not common, but MVNOs too prices rise and conditions change unexpectedly. And although these changes are usually only applied to new customers, they are especially striking when the increase in fees is as widespread as that of Oléphone and also the conditions have worsened.
With the new renewal of rates now in force, there is nothing left of what was the first MVNO to dare to launch a rate with unlimited mobile data. There is not even a trace of the most recent news, when a little over a month ago it presented its first family mixes with fiber and several mobile lines. Now
Gig clipping on mobile-only lines
Oléphone has simplified its offer of contract rates from five to three, again cutting the gigs included in all sections, in addition to applying increases of 40 cents per month.
Now, the cheapest Oléphone rate goes from 7.50 to 7.90 euros monthly fee, and instead of 7 GB, now includes 5 GB, which distance it even more from the 8 GB that Lowi is offering under the same platform and coverage.
The most complete rate, also increases your monthly fee from 19.50 to 19.90 euros, and trim 5 GB, which leaves it with 35 GB instead of 40 GB. The intermediate rate of 15.90 euros, maintains the quota, but also cuts another 5 GB, up to 20 GB which includes now.
The full conditions of the Oléphone rates in force since October 2021, are as summarized in the following image:
Fiber at 1,000 Mbps from 39.90 euros
If in the mobile-only offer, the news has focused mainly on a cut of gigabytes, in the combined fiber and mobile there is a general price rise, accompanied in this case by an improvement in speed for the more complete modalities, which have come to offer 1,000 Mbps instead of 600 Mbps maximum.
In addition, the combined have become more flexible when it comes to choosing the speed of internet at home, although now the maximum data remains at 30 GB instead of 50 GB, and the specific family mixes have disappeared.
Starting with the rates fiber only, fiber at 100 Mbps has risen 90 cents, fiber at 300 Mbps has dropped in price 3 euros and the most complete fiber has also risen another 90 cents, although as we said, now it offers greater speed.
If we add mobile line with 20 GB and unlimited calls to fiber, now the cheapest combination is now 8 euros more expensive, although it offers triple the speed fiber. With 30 GB on mobile, the fee has risen by 6 euros per month for the same fiber speed.
The complete offer of combined fiber and mobile Oléphone valid from October 21, 2021, is as summarized in the image:
