TIM is proceeding to the remodulation of tariffs for ADSL and fiber: in the operator's crosshairs are the paper invoices, which must disappear
TIM remodulates fixed telephony tariffs: starting from December 1, 2020, the economic conditions for customers with ADSL and fiber will change. To be included in the new increases are all contracts that had not been included in the last round of communications, which occurred through the sending of the invoice of August 2020.
For the telephone operator is the second major wave of contractual changes, arrived only a few months after the communication of August, followed by the entry into force of the new rates last October 1. To be involved in the previous change were not only the basic offerings, with an increase in pricing compared to the original, but also some of the additional services, options dedicated to calls to foreign countries, the rental of telephone equipment and modems and the costs of management and sending the paper bill.
Rimodulation rates TIM: what changes
To alert the customers of TIM of the new contractual changes was the bill sent in October 2020. With the notice, the operator has notified the upcoming changes that will affect from December 1, 2020 the amount related to ADSL and fiber and, as already happened in the previous round, the production and sending of the paper bill.
The increase in the cost of the bill is, as specified in full by TIM, only related to the printed version and does not affect the dematerialized version, or digital, which will remain free. In order to view and manage it, customers will be able to access the free service "Online Account". Activation of this service can be done, at no cost, by calling the customer service number 187 or by visiting the MyTIM website or through the operator's app, MyTIM.
The increase, a surcharge of 50 eurocents (including VAT) per bill, is according to what TIM said an incentive to use digital payment tools. The same goes for environmental protection: fewer paper invoices sent, less paper wasted and as many trees saved.
