I also think that they use some clever logic algorithms that control the different brands! For example, sometimes a "free" country from one brand is removed and it is immediately applied to another! I think this occurs when brand useage to that country increases, so that it is no longer feasible to provide it for "free". I am particularly talking about countries that are NOT rock bottom in termination rates. e.g. Argentina, Mexico, Middle East, Turkey, Malaysia, Eastern Europe, Russia etc. Some countries are "free" on almost all brands: e.g. Western Europe landlines, USA etc.

Overall, this is a very impressive and very shrewd company, that everyone loves to hate but few have really lost significant money on! I always think of them as the "Ryanair" of telecom!
