The cost of living crisis is spiralling, with even more of a squeeze expected for many households from April. But some people are missing out on saving hundreds of pounds a year by not switching their mobile network provider.
According to new research by iD Mobile, the mobile virtual network operator from Currys, a third of Brits could be wasting money by not doing anything when their phone contract ends. People could be losing out on £156 a year on average - and in some instances up to £360 - by not switching their mobile network provider.
Most contracts will encompass the price of the mobile phone itself (handset) and the minutes, texts and data included in the package (inclusive usage). However, the cost of these contracts on a like-for-like basis (same phone and usage inclusions) can differ immensely across networks – sometimes as much as £30 per month.
