> Later they also cut the price of mobile in half and forced the competition to align. Their most expensive offer with all bells and whistles is 16 euros/month. I think about it every time I pay my "cheap" T-mobile bill which is 3 times more.

I love the BT Broadband adverts for SIM-only mobile ... "Save hundreds of pounds if you take our most expensive offer" ...

If you buy 5 sim-only contracts for your family, they cost you £10/sim/month. I pay less than £10 for two sims together, which provide way more texts/calls/data than my wife and I ever use ...

Define "cheap". It's not cheap if you're paying extra for stuff you never use, no matter how you phrase it. We'd probably be better off on pay-as-you-go, but the contract is cheap and convenient, so we pay that little bit extra to know that the phone will always be there whenever we want it.
