Talk:Pay as you go (phone)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think the concept was first developed in Portugal by the TMN company with the MIMO mobile phone. Correct me if I'm wrong. --- Mmcarvalho 15:22, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Same year as Eircells launch, 1995. Eircell always claimed to be the first, anyway --Kiand 14:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

See the article on the Portuguese company TMN or Telecomunicações Móveis Nacionais, SA.--- Mmcarvalho 16:11, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I did, which is where I saw that it was also 1995 for TMN, albeit towards the end of that year. I have no idea when Eircell Ready To Go started in 1995. --Kiand 22:30, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, you are both right. I was leader of the Service Design Team in Eircell. Ready to Go was launched at the end of October 1997 and was influenced by successful prepaid mobile propositions elsewhere including Timmy (Italy). Dublinblue 12:48, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article title

Wouldn't Prepaid mobile phone be a better title than Pay as you go (phone)? —Tokek 00:41, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
