A Solution to High Cellular Tariffs

In the developed countries, subscribers enjoy the reasonable cellular rates and VOIP services. These services include Skype and other SIP services providers.

In the developing countries voice calls remain the best way to communicate. A reasonable person would assume that VOIP is also the cheapest solution to the developing countries. This is supposed to be the case but unfortunately cellular Operators in these countries continue closing the doors for VOIP technologies by increasing the call termination fees.

VOIP service providers operating in these countries find it very expensive terminating calls in these countries such that it makes no business sense to sell VOIP services for local callers. Most of the subscribers in these countries use cell phones with most of the calls terminating nationally. The best solution should charge much less than cell phone providers for national calls..


The cellular network operators provide tariff structures that are cheap for peak hour callers and a tarrif structures cheaper for off peak hour callers. The subscriber can only gamble between these two structures by choosing one based on the predicted call times.

Cellular service providers make sure that subscribers cant toggle between these tariffs per call, by allowing a change to a different tariff only once a month. Some cellular subscribers have tried purchasing more than one SIM card and keep changing it according to the best tariff plan during the time of call.

This has disadvantages of damaging the cell phone as the SIM CARD is taken in and out. The solution to this is a dual SIM cell phone. These cell phones also come with a benefit of TV, with some also supporting Digital TV in areas that have migrated to DTV.

Subscribers in the developing countries can significantly reduce their monthly cell phone bills by using this type of a phone. One SIM CARD will be for calling during peak hours, another one for off peak hours. These cell phones even go to an extent of supporting three SIM cards. This can help with subscribers that need two prepaid networks and a contract network.


As cellular service providers keep punishing the VOIP service providers, subscribers have to definitely find the alternative saving means. In the next article we will show you with calculations that some subscribers can reduce their bills by a minimum of 45%.
