Shopping around for an affordable mobile provider? Good on ya! Before you sign up, take our challenge and ask them some hard questions. Spoiler alert - their 'limitless' plan will actually be as generous as an airline luggage allowance. We're so confident that our truly unlimited plans stack up, we're giving you the telco cheat sheet.
Hit them with these 7 sticky questions. Watch the fine print melt away. We know, you'll end up wanting to be a Zeronet customer.
| The question | The hidden gotcha |
| "If I’ve hit my data cap, do I lose speed, or does the data actually stop?" | Do they secretly throttle you to snail-speed (e.g., 1.2Mbps)? If so, their "endless" plan is just endlessly frustrating. |
| "Does my ‘unlimited’ include picture messages (MMS), or will I get charged extra for sending a photo to my mates?" | Spoiler alert - most telcos sneakily charge you for MMS. That's not unlimited. |
| "Am I allowed to use my phone as a hotspot, and will that also get slowed down?" | If you can’t share your data, it’s not really your data, is it? Make sure they don't cap your tethering. |
| "Does checking my voicemail actually cost me money?" | The cheek! Some providers treat this like a premium call. Don't pay to hear your own messages. |
| "What’s the charge for replying ‘YES’ to an appointment reminder for my hairdresser or doctor?" | Short codes are often "special" and are an extra hit on your bill. Find out if they're playing that game. |
| "Is the monthly billing cycle 28 days or a full calendar month?" | This is the oldest trick in the book! A 28-day cycle means you pay for 13 months a year. |
| "If I want to bail early, what is the exact dollar amount of the break fee?" | Get a number, not a run-around. Know the cost of your freedom upfront. |
Did they fumble some of the questions? Yep, we thought so.
