Teligen Emerging Markets – Latin America Mobile Voice Benchmarking System allows for comparison of pricing and usage costs across a total of 23 usage profiles. For the purpose of this analysis, we compared the cost of usage and tariffs structure for the 300 calls + 1 GB usage basket.

Review of the cheapest offers per country shows that even after separating these tariffs by prepaid and postpaid, each group of tariffs has a significant variation built into them from the tariff structure perspective. The fixed or final usage costs reported mask the fact that there is a real underlying variance across the results, in terms of call minutes, SMS and data allowances, as well as underlying data speeds, and the extent to which users have flexibility around allowances and costs. Such variances are important and should be carefully considered in any analysis. For those looking for more details, Emerging Markets – Latin America system is the most comprehensive tool to discover the granularity, nuances, comparisons, and best practices by reviewing the tariff structures and allowances across the region
