Important information before changing the plan
Some operators stress that certain offers are exclusive for new subscriptions or number portability. Don’t take it seriously.
Article 46 of Anatel’s resolution 632/2014, which regulates telecommunications services, says:
All offers, including promotional ones, must be available for contracting by all interested parties, including Consumers of the Provider, without distinction based on the date of adhesion or any other form of discrimination within the geographical area of the offer.
Operators are required to follow these regulations, and most of them already establish in promotional contracts that offers also extend to base customers. If the company does not comply, learn how to complain to Anatel or Consumidor.gov.br.
It is worth remembering that the customer is subject to some conditions: if there is loyalty in the current plan, it may be necessary to pay a fine for breach of contract if you want to take advantage of the promotion. Likewise, the operator may charge a membership fee if this is the rule for new customers.
