Price Increase 2023

[Confused_Man]

Hi,

I was searching the web to see what actual price increase O2 would charge this year - I only joined last November. I found this "The price increases at O2 do not affect existing customers, but new contracts and prepaid tariffs", taken from this story:

https://newsrnd.com/news/20**Personal info**-o2-mobile-phone-tariffs-are-becoming-more-expensive--th...

 Is this correct, or are further price rises to be announced?

There wwill be a quite hefty increase in April 2023

All the networks have announced an increase of the inflation rate plus 3.9% (10.1 + 3.9)

O2 haven't announced their increase yet but expect a very similar increase

This affects all contract customers

That article appears to be O2 Germany anyhow

@Confused_Man Your tariff will increase. Won't matter what network you're on.

BT Group (EE) have announce a 14.4% price increase for all their customers broadband and Mobile.... 

o2 will be a higher figure as o2 use RPI rather than CPI and then add 3.9% on top... so I would expect 16 or 17% increase this year. 

At the end of the day you agreed and signed, agreeing to these terms, and they will affect o2's customers... existing and new...

I took out the 20GB for £8 deal for 12 months on the first of April last year. On this 1st April I'll see what's on offer via the comparison sites and migrate if it is advantageous

17.3% INCREASE.... Higher than any other UK network

@Rbarkley82 

Yep, got to pay for Liberty Global's Vodafone share purchase..  

And to be fair its only more because VMo2 use the RPI and not the CPI, and then lump on 3.9% (why they all lump that on I have no idea). 

[Rbarkley82]

Yeah but VMo2 obviously choose to use RPI knowing its almost always higher than CPi... yeah and then the 3.9%
