Phone contract prices go up every April but changes will be different this year due to new rules by Ofcom
O2, Three, Vodafone, and EE mobile phone customers will see price increases in April. New Ofcom rules require providers to state price increases in pounds and pence, not just percentages. While this applies to new contracts, existing customers' increases are based on their original contract terms, often inflation plus a percentage. O2's monthly increase is £1.80, Three's ranges from £1 to £2 depending on plan, Vodafone's varies from £1 to £3 or 6.4%, and EE's depends on when the product was purchased, either fixed terms or CPI + 3.9%.
