EE has warned that its customers could be facing steep increases in their phone bills from the end of March.
The mobile operator has begun sending out text messages to customers informing them that their price plans will be increasing in line with inflation plus 3.9 per cent.
Phone bill costs are rising based on January's Consumer Price Index which was set at 5.5 per cent - meaning users will see a total rise of 9.4 per cent in bills once the surge charge of 3.9 per cent is added, MyLondon reports.
