COM.escolha enhanced with new features


COM.escolha has been equipped with new features that will help consumers make choices that best fit their needs when comparing the various tariffs available on the market for the television, Internet, fixed telephone and mobile telephone services, and for bundles that include these services.

The main features added to the tool include:

  • the inclusion of mobile phone Internet access in information on mobile service tariffs;
  • specific configuration for certain mobile telephone tariffs (for example, pre-paid with account top-up options and pre-paid without mandatory account top-ups with monthly charge).
  • inclusion of installation/activation costs and mandatory equipment purchase/rental costs in the calculation of costs presented in the consultation and simulation results, and also on the detail page given for each tariff;
  • presentation of information on costs incurred when customers terminate contracts;
  • better characterisation of information on technology in the television service and bundles which include television.

COM.escolha can be accessed through ANACOM's Consumers' Website, where a video presentation of the tool can be seen.

COM.escolha is an interactive tariff comparison tool, launched by ANACOM in June 2011; the tool allows users to simulate/consult the different tariffs available from providers. While monitored by ANACOM, the information given in the tool is entered by the providers participating in the project and remains the responsibility of these providers.
