Why do "pay as you go" recharge cards cost more per minute than a subscriber phone? There is nothing to subsidise in this case, so the extra cost is pure profit!
Although I agree to an extent with your comments Daniel, what you have negleted to mention is that the networks offer great incentives for reguler top ups. i.e. Orange will give you 600 off peak on-net mins and 300 anytime x-net texts for a reg top up of just £10!!! Plus your £10 is still there for those other calls you need to make. Worse case scenario, if you use all your £10 to ring x-net it would equate to approx 30 mins!
Show me a contract which would give you 600 off peak on-net mins, 300 anytime x-net texts and 30 mins anytime x-net for £10 per month!
