LycamobileとMyTelloの比較

課金単位

Lycamobileの請求方法は1分単位、MyTelloの請求方法は切り上げです。同じ分単位の料金でも、請求方法によって合計額は異なり、その差が最も大きくなるのは、まさに多くの人が通話する地域です。35秒の通話を切り上げて1分分として請求すると、その通話にはおよそ七十パーセントの割増が発生します。しかし料金自体は変わっていないため、どの料金比較にもこの差は現れません。

クレジットの有効期限

Lycamobile：有効期限あり。MyTello：非公開。クレジットの有効期限は、料金表には現れないコストです。一度にチャージする金額が大きいほど、また通話の頻度が低いほど影響が大きくなります。緊急時に備えて購入したまま使われていない残高こそ、利用停止ルールの対象になります。

サブスクリプション

Lycamobile：サブスクリプションを提供。MyTello：サブスクリプションなし。サブスクリプションは損益分岐点を超えれば1分あたりの料金が安くなりますが、超えない月にはかえって高くなります。つまり、サブスクリプションを選ぶことは、自分の将来の利用状況に賭けることです。プリペイドクレジットはその反対で、単価が高くなる代わりに契約の義務がありません。

プラットフォーム

LycamobileはiOS, Androidで利用できます。MyTelloはiOS, Android, Webで利用できます。この点で決まる比較は、実際より多くあります。どれほど優れたサービスでも、手元の端末で利用できなければ候補にはなりません。また、代わりに1時間スマートフォンを耳に当て続けることになるなら、デスクトップ用クライアントの有無は見た目以上に重要です。
