What is Hits
Mobile
Hits
Mobile is a
Virtual Mobile Network platform that is being promoted through
the GEM
Lifestyle opportunity. This simply means that
they piggy back in on an existing network buying up unused
bandwidth, which gives advantages to both the network holder
and the VMO. Hits runs on the Vodafone network so has the
advantage too of being excellent in terms of coverage and
reliability.
Hits is aiming at a niche market within Spain
of foreign residents who want to phone abroad, back home in
many cases, cheaply, and are often afraid to make that call
through their current provider as the costs can be
astronomical. The target audience of Hits are the 80%, more or
less, who use a pay as you go mobile. One of the huge
advantages is that calls can be made between Hits mobile phones
free. There are a couple of limitations on this, maximum call
length of ten mins per call and 60 mins per day between two
particular phones but as the vast majority of calls are 2
minutes or less this is not perceived to be a problem. This
means that you can get a phone each for family members,
business employees, group or club members and reduce
communication costs within an organisation
greatly.
Primarily the company is aimed at the 8 million
people living in Spain that are not from Spain. These people
can benefit from a couple of advantages that Hits Mobile has
over its competitors. Firstly, the support in the call centre
and on the website is available in six languages, Spanish,
English, French, Arabic, Romanian and German. This covers most
of the foreign population in Spain. Secondly and most
importantly calls to the countries identified by the company as
the most important niche markets are cheap, the UK is 5.3 cents
per minute on the standard rate, Morocco is 14 cents, Romania
is 8 cents, the United States costs 5.3 cents, France is 5.3
cents and the South American countries are generally 5.3 cents
per minute. Even ringing a mobile is cheap with the UK being
just 19 cents per minute, no cards and complicated numbers to
put in, no access codes or anything just a straight call at any
time of the day. If you make your calls after 8pm then the
price can be 4.8 cents to those normally charged at 5.3
cents.
The
other main group aimed at in the demographic are small
businesses, groups and associations and extended families as
calls between Hits mobile phones are free, gratis or zilch at
the moment. The only limits are a maximum of ten minutes per
call and 60 minutes per day or 500 minutes per month. After
that they are 10 cents per minute so still
cheap.Hits
Mobile has just two pricing policies for
national calls. You can either pay 15 cents per minute at
all times to calls to landlines and mobiles, or you can
pay 29 cents between 12 midnight and 8pm and 5 cents
between 8pm and midnight. Most people will go for the
standard charge at all times as this is the most
beneficial.
Hits looks like it will be live
from the GEM Homepage and GEM Island in the next week or so.
