How do we determine the Most Trusted Mobile Plan Providers Award winner?
- 6,000 consumers surveyed
- 19 brands assessed
- One award winner
These awards are based on survey data collected from 6,000 consumers, and for a respondent to be included, they needed to have an active mobile phone plan in their own name and that they pay the bills for. For a provider to qualify, it must receive a minimum of 30 responses in the survey.
Respondents rate the level of trust they have in their provider (whether that’s a prepaid or postpaid provider) on a zero to ten scale, where zero is ‘do not trust at all’ and ten is ‘trust completely’. Respondents are also asked to rate their level of trust in mobile providers in general.
Our experienced research team then calculates the average trust score for each retailer and measures that against the overall average trust score for the market.
