Remember, that changing of the tariff is practically always free-of-charge and phone number thus is kept.
2. Do not ignore the marketing actions of operators.
Each operator organizes a lot of marketing actions, organizes them on a regular basis and often they are quite long – 3, 6, and even 12 months (numerous prolongation of the action).
