Spending Money on Recharges

What do you get when you have a lot of idle time, a mobile phone  and a spreadsheet. You get a pretty weird research topic. :)

How much you spend on your mobile phone per month?. Tricky right? with so many tariff plans available for your network, the amount you pay will vary with network to network, person to person.



I didn't had much to do, so i decided to calculate how much a guy spends on his mobile phone per month. (The values may be a little different for others, I'll consider an average case).

P.S. "before you read this , one warning:- "This has been created by me while i was really idle, and an idle man's head is devil's workshop".

Great!!! lets see what I got.

I use BSNL for my mobile. And my network is for Himachal. So its BSNL-Himachal.

Different cases:-

Case 1: guy with good calling habits (Friends/ GF/GFs  you name it) . will call at an average 15 mins on his own network and 5 mins on other networks (at an average) for day time. And will call 90 mins (at an average) at night to his own network and 1 mins to others  :)

Case 2: guy with low calling habits  will call at an average 7 mins on his own network and 5 mins on other networks (at an average) for day time. And will call 2 mins (rare cases) at night to his own network and 1 mins to others  :)

With 175 rs recharge available, which makes your BSNL-BSNL, BSNL-LandLine call free for one month+ gives you a balance of 100 Rs . Lets see how much a person will spend.





Results Speak For themselves. 'Nuf said!!!.
