Martin Lewis has revealed how you could avoid major increases to your mobile phone bills later this year. The financial journalist said most mobile phone providers would be raising their prices by around 14% from April, leaving many forced to fork out hundreds of extra pounds on their bills.
Speaking on The Martin Lewis Money Show on ITV, Mr Lewis said customers had a number of options available to them when it came to avoiding the increases. He said up to nine million people might be out of contract and overpaying on their current deal.
"What you need to do to check, in most cases, is free text INFO to 85075 on your current phone," he said. "That should tell you whether you have termination fees to leave your contract. Sometimes they can't do it, but it's worth checking." Mr Lewis added that anyone who had termination fees and was within their contract may have to wait it out in order to save money.
