In 2006, the Tariff Monitor, a free tool on ANACOM's website www.anacom.pthttps://www.anacom.pt/render.jsp?categoryId=2958 that allows consumers to compare tariffs for mobile telephone services, was accessed around 43.2 thousand times by consumers and was used to make over 57.1 thousand simulation operations. This translates to an average of around 3,600 accesses and 4,760 simulations per month.
ANACOM's Tariff Monitor has now been in public operation for 16 months, and during this time a total of around 75.3 thousand accesses and 129.2 thousand simulation operations have been recorded.
Among the range of tools available - monthly consumption, call and message comparison, virtual calls and messages - the use of the call and message comparison tool has proved to be especially popular. According to available data, up to 31 December 2006, around 73 thousand tariff consultations and 37.3 thousand call or message comparisons have been carried out by users. This corresponds, respectively, to around 56.5% and 28.9% of the all simulation operations performed.
The Tariff Monitor is a simulator developed by ANACOM with the cooperation of the three mobile operators (TMN, Vodafone and Optimus). It gives private consumers the information they need to assess and compare the various tariff alternatives for terrestrial mobile services available in Portugal.
