In recent times it seems that everything is going up in price whether
it is fuel or the cost of food, but the cost of owning or running a
mobile phone is also getting more expensive especially if you are the
customer of either Orange or T-Mobile as price rises causes anger
amongst users.
The carriers have announced that they are set to increase the bills
for its pay monthly customers, and the rises have been set by the rate
of the Retail Price index, which currently stands at 3.3%. These latest
increases will come into force on April 10th for Orange users and the
9th of May for T-mobile customers.
Customers that have recently taken out a new contract won’t be seeing
any increase, but all customers that are affected by the higher
chargers will be contacted by mail. Users that signed up to Orange
between the beginning of December until April 8th won’t see any
increases for six months.
The increases basically mean users will be paying between 50p and £2
more each month, which the company is putting down to the increase in
inflation hitting the running costs of the networks, but add-ons and
other costs won’t be affected by the increases.
If you are currently paying Orange £36 per month this will increase
to £37.16, while a £25 per month T-Mobile contact will rise to £25.81.
Users with SIM only deals and customers with business contracts will not
be affected by these increases, but those that are affected won’t be
able to get out of their contracts early without an early termination
fee.
This comes after customers of both carriers had to put up with price
increases to monthly contracts last year, and these latest ones won’t be
welcomed either however small. To find out more about the new charges
