The price-performance ratio largely determines what happens with prepaid packages in Mexico and how successful they are. It is not in vain that virtual mobile operators have acquired millions of lines thanks to their attractive promotions, which include differentiated services and, of course, several GB.
IFT confirms this in its latest report which compares prepaid packages and postpaid modalities. There it is said that it is possible to contract 4 GB of data to navigate with 30 pesos, But it is possible to contract 10 GB for only 20 pesos more,
The best recharge for 50 pesos in Mexico is a tie between the virtual mobile operators that offer 10GB for that amount. Bait and Telamov have already done this a year ago And now Ultracell has been matched, The following table created by IFT shows the panorama of 50 pesos balance recharge in Mexico:
If it’s about GB for navigation, Telmovil stands out and Bait only covers 5,000 MB, according to the IFT table. The trick is that Bat, like Telemobil, offers its first 5,000MB without a speed cap, but the other 5,000MB is provided with a fair usage policy and a speed set to 512Kbps.
Although the offer is the same, IFT only lists Telmovil with 10,000MB.
Similar is the case with the Ultracel 50l, a package that is listed with 5,000MB but the Virtual Mobile operator on its site clarifies that it offers 5GB without a speed cap and 5GB at 512Kbps. The problem is that none of the three proposals include “unlimited” social media.
If it is about social networks, then it will be necessary to turn to other operators., Oxo Cell includes “unlimited” social networks, as well as 800MB for browsing in its 50-peso package. Movistar does the same with the prepaid Rollover Más 50, which includes 500MB for browsing, the same offer as AT&T.
The validity period of all these offers is from seven to 10 days, but Almatel’s 50-peso package is the only one that arrives within 15 days, Almatel 50 offers 4,000 MB for browsing, 500 voice minutes, 150 SMS and does not include social networks.
As is the case with this type of report, it is always advisable to verify prices and packages directly with the operators, as there is a lag time between IFT verifying the information and publishing it. Just in case, the IFT rates site contains information on prepaid packages as they were registered.
