T-Mobile Case Study
1. What are the various nationwide T-Mobile rates/plans available in your area? In my area T-Mobile offers a few plan options. The various nationwide T-Mobile rates/plans available in my area are the 1 GB plan for $50.00 a month, the 3 GB plan for $60.00 a month, the 5 GB plan for $70.00 a month and the Unlimited plan for $80.00 a month. While T-Mobile states these plans are offered in my area, this is somewhat untrue. After checking their coverage map it shows that coverage is limited at my home. The surrounding area is 4G, but only on my property does it state that they have no coverage. This is an important factor to know whether or not I am going to be able to use my phone in my home.

2. How many different calling plans are available in your area for T-Mobile? Compare and contrast the different plans. In my area I found 4 different calling plans. The first plan I found is $50.00 a month. The plan includes 1 GB 4G LTE Data and unlimited talk, text, and data. The second plan I found is for $60.00 a month. It includes 3 GB 4G LTE Data and unlimited talk, text, and data. The third plan I found is for $70.00 a month and includes 5 GB of 4G LTE Data. This plan includes unlimited talk, text, and data. The

They are doing this by using an everyday low price and by bundling their prices. Their everyday low prices is one thing they are advertising stating that people can save money by using T-Mobile. They are using bundle pricing by combining plans. A customer is able to get their package and add their phone to their plan. Their bundle (as well as other cell phone carriers) bundle talk, text, and data. If they would like to add another phone line to their plan they are able to do that as well for a cheaper fee than buying an entirely new phone line. They also bundle family lines with up to 4 lines. This is appealing to families so they are able to have a cheaper phone bill since each phone line added is cheaper than the

    Profits from low-cost plans are barely keeping them afloat in an industry where evolving technology is vital for sustainability. Smart-phones continue to be the current and future cash crop of the cell phone industry. The best companies like AT&T, and Verizon offer reliable 4G network technologies, along with multimedia phones, that allow expeditious travel of data. Conversely, T-Mobile and Metro PCS are still operating on older network protocols and selling a lineup of smart-phones that are very lackluster when compared to the competitions iPhone, and Android.…

    The incentive that is portrayed in the T-Mobile commercial is the fact that they will not take away your un-used data and allow you to keep it. This is a great incentive, since the data has been paid for the user should be able to keep using it until it is gone, and not lose it simply because they were not able to use it in a month’s times. The other motivation I can see being used in this commercial is a form of drive or hierarchal. T-Mobile likely wants to be the bigger cell phone provider out of the companies and by offering these kinds of incentives among others will help them get to this…

    The more providers that serve your area, the more likely they'll offer inducements for you to plus, many providers save their best deals for the Web.

    Verizon Case Study

    Verizon Wireless operates as a very traditional and conservative company where extremely high ethical standards are enforced and expected. High expectations from upper management, to the mailroom, are "the standard" at Verizon Wireless. Ethical behavior can be difficult to distinguish from un-ethical behavior and human resource departments must be careful to examine all cases carefully. The importance of recognizing ethical behavior was recently quoted in an article by Jeffery Ewing (2002), stating: "As part of the soon-to-be published study, HR professionals were asked to distinguish between situations involving differences in approach from those that involved violations of professional standards or ethics from those that were clear legal violations." Although ethics do not appear to present a major problem for Verizon Wireless personnel, a lack in ethics has the potential to cause severe damage to individuals as well as the…

    AT&T Wireless is currently running a commercial featuring Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and Co-Host of reality show “Shark Tank”. I am a fan of the show, which features multi-millionaire business personalities that offer entrepreneurs the opportunity to sell a portion of their business in return for an investment. It is essentially a negotiating battle with a potentially successful product. Mark Cuban plays the same role in AT&T’s clever commercial where he is negotiating the amount of data he receives on his monthly cellular plan. In seeing this advertisement and my knowledge of the reality show, I am lead to believe that one can negotiate for data and talking minutes of your monthly service. This is obviously not true, because AT&T would lose money if the sales person was a weak negotiator. My perception of the commercial is the negotiation power of Mark Cuban, but the reality is that AT&T is offering an amazing deal with their new Data Rollover…

    Considering the youth that Virgin Mobile is targeting, we conclude that the best strategic decision will be to establish a new plan that offers no contract requirements, lower than industry average minute prices, fixed minute rates with no additional or hidden fees, prepaid plans internet and text messaging included and subsidies of around 40 dollars per cellphone. This new plan is necessary to differentiate Virgin Mobile from its competitors and retain market share. By having the new venture with Kyocera where cellphones range between $60-$100, our subsidy will be $40. IPhones and other higher price phones will be available, but at a more expensive price than competitors.…
