    Cheapest 3G/4G Mobile plans

    Hey guys,

    my PCCW mobile contract is finished and now I'm free to go somewhere else.

    My original contract was 389 per month minus 190, minus 22 "incentive" so basically 177 per month.

    I got that rate by telling the sales guy I don't want to renew the last time. This time I didn't get a call from sales and the guy at the service center basically said I can take my number wherever I want.

    I checked around and the going rate for 5GB seems to be 300-400 per month .

    Any chance I can get a reasonable rate someway ? Maybe by haggling with the promotion guys hanging around Wanchai Computer Centre?!

    What is a rate I can expect to get?

    Cheers,

    Paul

    Do you require full speeds, or are you OK with capped speeds?

    Do you need a new phone, or are you OK with sim only?

    Think you're a bit off there with your Maths buddy : $398 - $190 = $208 / month.

    Anyways, pricing depends on whether you want a sim only plan or a bundle package with new phone included.

    Thanks jmbf, I checked my bill and edited the post. It's 177 per month after all "incentives"

    I just need a sim-only plan. Voice+Data, 5GB, no speed caps. I'm ok with getting capped after using the 5GB.

    Ok sure that makes more sense. From memory you would be looking at around $250 / month for a sim only plan for 5Gb data.

    Is there such thing as a 5gb 4gplan which then slows down to a capped speed once you exceed 5gb? (But at no extra cost for the extra data)

    Yes, most definitely. It's called data throttling (sounds lovely doesn't it!). In theory it's to prevent you from going too far over your data limit easily. Some providers do it and some don't.

    It seems the other networks charge extra if you hit your cap.
