Mobile carriers strike back at EU regulation
With Euro communications minister Redding attacking mobile carriers on all fronts something had to give and they have decided to implement the first piece of pain on those who can least afford it.
Mobile networks raise minimum charge on pay-as-you-go tariffs
“At O2, the minimum call charge for pay-as-you-go customers who have not upgraded to a new tariff rises from 10p to 20p and applies to all calls to standard UK landlines and UK mobiles”
“T-Mobile raised its prepaid minimum call charge from 10p to between 15p and 25p, depending on which tariff the customer is on. Early last month, Vodafone increased the equivalent cost for all prepay customers from 12p to 15p”
So the prepaid community, (every young person) has been hit with these huge charges, this is fundamentally wrong and a tax on a community which is already being fleeced by huge charges.Will the minister get involved here?
I for one doubt it.
