Orange increasing PAYM contracts by 4.34%?!

blondnc

Hi there,

Just received a text today from Orange telling me that my bill will increase in price shortly. Surely as I am in the middle of the contract they are obligated to giving it to me for the length of the contract?

Here is what Orange say:


As you probably know, inflation is at a 20 year high, which is having a significant impact on businesses and households alike.
Unfortunately, we've had to re-evaluate our prices for the first time and are sorry to say that there will be a 4.34% increase in our monthly plan prices from 8 January 2012. This is lower than the Retail Price Index measure of inflation, which currently stands at 5.4%. Out of plan charges, such as calls, texts and data will not be changing.

Any help?

I have not had this text, but read that they can do this (and that it will apply to me as well )

Apparently, there will be a clause in your (everyones) contract saying that they can do this.

See to the right of the forums page - under "Latest MSE News" for the story "Orange to raise monthly mobile costs".

As well as the article mentioned, there is already a lengthy (official?) thread on this subject...
