Hm, well Hungary here and the so called competition for subscribers ended years ago. The market is divided, the three big players (Vodafone, T-Mobile and Telenor) has market shares almost the same for years now. So, the prices are not really declining but going up year after year.
Anyway my package costs now about 15€ worth of HUF and contains 200 minutes in Hungary, unlimited internet on phone or from PC and unlimited text in the Vodafone network (ok, "unlimited" capped at 1000
). I'm fine with this deal.
What I'm always laughing a lot is the prices for iPhone related packages. Starting at like 60€ for a month, and you need to sign 2 years or so, and pay a LOT for the phone... Well, hype is hype and I don't blame providers milking the users because they are happy to be milked
Heard that Lidl will start the first real virtual operator in february with real competition - we'll see... All what I know is that Hungarian Post started a virtual service on the Vodafone network some years ago and it was a huge failure. They prices were at sky high levels and the service was greatly limited. Red Bull Mobile is the virtual provider I have no idea in regards of performance, but they are promoting somewhat their services, whiches are also very high at prices and basically you pay for using "Red Bull" branded stuff - another non sense hype and they are using the Telenor network. Telenor is another story... until it was owned by Sonera, the finnish telecom company, they were great, the best. After Telenor took over, everybody started to leave them and their service level and prices are getting worse and worse...
