Mid-contract price hikes hit Orange and T-Mobile customers

摘要

Orange and T-Mobile pay-monthly customers will be hit by a price hike from April, with parent company EE set to bank almost £52 million from the rise. EE said the typical cost per customer would be about 70p, or "the cost of a can of baked beans". In percentage terms, the increase amounts to 3.3 per cent of the contract cost, so someone paying £25 will pay £25.82. Ofcom is looking into the issue of mid-contract price hikes by mobile operators. All the major networks have raised their prices for pay-monthly customers during the past year.
