Bay Mobile bowing out of telephony scene

Why am I not at all surprised ? I was among the unlucky bunch of new clients of Bay Mobile- in simpler words; one of those who got nothing but dismal service from the company- along with a writing pad and pink pen to make the situation seem more pleasant. Prior to consulting a Bay Mobile Rep at the University of Malta Freshers week, I decided I should indeed change over from Vodafone to Bay, due to much cheaper offers and fancy tarrifs. Not only did I not benefit from the offers because of unclear advertising and information, but I was stuck with no mobile line for over 4 weeks. Despite my many attempts to speak to customer reps, who were totally incompetent and unsupportive, I got no solutions to my mobile problems, often having to resort to using someone else's mobile phone to do as much as send a text message.. On a more positive note, Vodafone Reps were so much more supportive throughout my change over, and I have never had anything to complain about. Oh, and they also work after 5 pm- Bay seemed to forget that mobile problems can arise after this hour.

Pathetic ...

Poor showing after less than a year....

I was quite happy when new companies were introduced to the mobile telephony market; however on closer examination it was still the same old story; basically the same rip-off rates and very little benefit/freedom to call numbers not affiliated with certain networks.

Its nothing short of collusion, the same which goes on in the ISP market and many many others. Pathetic.

Out of telephony scene, Who's Next ???

This goes to proove that when the MCA compares retail prices of mobile telephony in Malta to retail price of mobile telephony in Europe, it is doing a comparison between the uncomparable, only to fuel a negative sentiment by the general public against mobile operators. Everyone has to accept that the Maltese marlet is what it is, a markey which much less than half a million possible clients, whereby the high fixed costs of having a network in Malta have to be distributed amongst a very small subscriber base by European standards. It would be far better for MCA to see that any new operator basis its application on a sound business case, to avoid having a repitition of such an event, which at the end of the day reduces market players, and thus market competition!

The Maltese market is so small that now it cannot afford any more mobile companies.

That's business. Pity, very professional and new ideas. Enjoyed working with you.

Seems too optimistic business projections were made here...

I expected this to come earlier in fact, don't know how they survive till now.

So why they continue to promote it on Abel and Elenor programme?

hehe basta xeba fuss :) SUCCESSS E?
