    Think this changed a while ago, not sure though. I don't know why anyone would get the €10 package every 2 weeks for just calls when they offer €20 every 4 weeks for data with calls or texts.

    The change was announced in September, it has come into effect from this month.

    You are correct that the plan is now entirely pointless as it costs the same as the €20 plan for much less value.

    At €10 for 4 weeks it was a reasonable plan, especially for those who only use a phone as a phone, not a handheld computer.

    Realistically the only people on it would be elderly non-internet folks with basic phones, targeting these people with a 100% price increase (who are also less likely to be on the ball with switching plans or networks) is IMO a really cynical move, especially as the same company is engaging in a price war for younger customers through go-mo.
