Hi thanks for your reply, i had been looking at SIM only. And looking at what you are saying it is swaying me towards that option. i have a few months before my contract is up so have time to look around
When I last looked, lots of UK mobile networks have this CPI + 3.9% annual uplift for most contracts
One way of avoiding this is buy a SIM free phone, and then get a SIM only PAYG or pay monthly plan, which don’t have the CPI + 3.9% in many cases.
You can often get 24-month 0% APR loans for a SIM free handset purchase.
Contract handsets with a CPI + 3.9% seem like a rip-off.
Yes i understand what the formula is. But if it goes up by the consumer price index, then why do they need to add another 3.9% on top. It mightr make my mind up to change networks in the near future.
Thanks for your reply though
Hi
This appears to be an increase of 14% due to CPI rates, I’d recommend the page linked below for further information.
