Mobile customers 'spending £530million EACH year on smartphones they've already paid for'

Mobile customers are spending £530million each year paying for phones they already own, according to new analysis by Virgin Media O2.

The telecoms giant claims 93% of people are completely unaware they could be charged for handsets they’ve already paid off.

Virgin Media O2 says some are operators sending bills that make no reference to a phone being included in their plan.
