Mobility - Voice and Data service providers often use one of many pricing structures. A key pricing structure being used is penetration pricing. In this pricing model, service providers initially charge lower rates to interest customers and gain market share. It is used to create brand loyalty and differentiate from other service providers. Penetration pricing is a quick way to gain new customers and drive out competition. However, this pricing model may result in short term losses for service providers. Moreover, it may lead to price wars among key service providers and customers may leave once prices are increased. Another key pricing model being used is subscription-based pricing. Under this pricing structure, service providers charge customers for a specific period of time for an agreed upon fee. This fee keeps recurring on a periodic basis, e.g., monthly or quarterly. Another key pricing model used is usage-based pricing, wherein customers pay service fees based on the amount of data consumed. Few other key pricing models used in this category are tiered pricing, cost-plus pricing, and competition-based pricing.

The costs of mobility - voice and data services are affected by several variables.
