Telephone booth shops grow in number

Low calling prices is one of the keys to the success of these businesses.

We have all seen how new types of business have appeared almost in every street in Aguilas.They have grown in number at the same speed as inmigration has increased.

Services that these telephone booth shops offer include phone calls, money transfers, faxes, recharging of mobiles, internet connection and in many occasions, food from other countries.

But with no doubt and, in spite of their many offers, their success lies in their low telephone prices and how much you can economize if you campare the cost of traditional telephone boxes.

“In national telephone calls there is almost no difference but in international calls is where you can see how much you can save.

For example, if you call Ecuador from one of these shops it could cost 0.15 cents per minute while if you do so from a traditional phone box it would be 0.40 cents” declared the owner of Noelia.com of Aguilas.

The basic reason for the difference in prices is that they buy big packets of minutes to phone companies that in most cases, are susidiary companies of Telefónica.

These big packets of minutes are then sold, in small portions, to their clients.

So, walk around and compare prices!
