I’ve been notified by O2 that my phone contract price will change soon. The old formula was inflation + 3.9%, but now it’s going to be + £1.80. As my contract price is £8.00 that works out as an increase of 22.5%.
Customers on less expensive tariffs face the same cash increase, so in percentage terms the increase will be even greater.
the increase by O2 is higher than that being imposed by other mobile companies. However ther irony is that mobile contracts on comparison sites are not going up, indeed they’re falling. So I’m switching to ID mobile, 40GB of data for £7 on a one month rolling contract, so I can easily leave if the service falls short of my expectations. And roaming to 50 countries is included.
I would encourage everyone to consider switching this month if their loyalty is being exploited by their mobile company. The switch to set cash amounts allows customers to leave their current contract without penalty.
