T-Mobile UK hiking prices by 3.7% by 9th May

These terms that basically allow the mobile companies to increase their prices in-contract in line with inflation are absolutely horrendous and should be challenged in the courts.

Moreover, doesn't EE see that this is an appalling way to treat customers? If a customer has X phone on X tariff over X months, there's just no way the network should turn around a few months later and change the terms of the agreement. I have no sympathy. Any increases shouldn't take effect until the end of the contract.

Orange done it first and then T-mobile followed. Vodafone, O2 ect will all follow eventually.

I'm not convinced. On out-of-contract customers, yes, on new tariffs, yes, but on existing customers who are in-contract? It's plain wrong and desperate IMHO.

Given that Orange and T-Mobile are both essentially Everything Everywhere, that they've both done this is no surprise. It doesn't mean it'll spread, though. At least I hope not.

Vodafone already did it with their tariff 'simplification', didn't they?

Looks like slowly each and every mobile network provider will hike prices eventually. Not a good news for us . Just hope Vodafone and O2 does not do it.
