Brits have been witnessing price hikes across the board when it comes to bills but increasing phone tariffs appear to be the final straw for some customers. Customers have been left "shocked" at news of price increases to their monthly phone bills with some users threatening not to renew contracts with providers such as O2.
Texts and emails have been sent out this week from a number of phone providers notifying customers of price increases being implemented from April. The notifications say the move is in line with inflation.
In a text received by O2 customers on Wednesday (February 23), the company said: "Hello. From April 2023 the monthly price of your calls, texts and data will rise by the 13.4% RPI rate of inflation plus 3.9% as set out in your terms."
