Avoid RPI increase?

[AlbertJ]

Hello,

I'm on a USwitch Sim Only deal, whenever my contract is up, I usually just "upgrade" using the latest USwitch deal for the same price for more data, not sure why they let you do this, or if they still do, but not complaining, the deals are much better than what I am offered on the phone/My O2. 

Am I right in thinking if I renew to one of the deals it would remove the RPI increase? And if so when is the best time to do this, just any time during April or at the end?

The safest option is to leave it until after the 1st April so that you avoid the increase

However the cut off date last year was 26th March

I will be doing exactly the same as I do every April, 12 month sim only from USwitch although it's possible I'll move to EE who have far better coverage in the North West
