Virgin Mobile increases Monthly Tariffs
Just received letter from Virgin Mobile notifying of a 2.5% increase from 22 July on my Galaxy S3 contract. Is this grounds for cancellation of my contract?

Re: Virgin Mobile increases Monthly Tariffs
I too received this letter today and have just renewed my contract and got a new mobile this was done only last week and was told nothing about the price increase. TBH I don't think it's that much of a big deal as it is still the best price for the tariff I receive even with the price increase.
£10.00 bill will go up to £10.25 and a £20.00 bill will go up to £20.50, I still believe I'm getting a superb deal with VM mobile. I don't know if this is grounds to cancellation of your contract? but I'm sure someone will be able to answer your question. |

I got a letter saying the new price increase and I only renewed my contract last week so does mean it was meant for the old contract and not the new one?

Re: Virgin Mobile increases Monthly Tariffs
Not had a letter, contract started on November 2013. So I will be included in this rise.

How is that 2 price rises in a year? Also anyone who started a new contract after the 23rd of January this year isn't included in this price change. |

Re: Virgin Mobile increases Monthly Tariffs
O2 and EE now incorporate a price rise every year into your contract, VM broadband has been similar for many years.
That said you could try wrangling it if RPI drops below 2.5% this month or next. VM have deliberately set the price rise as much as they are allowed - exactly equal to the RPI figure for *April* which is the most recent figure. However the contract says the price rise must be equal or lower than RPI for the previous twelve months. If the RPI drops below 2.5% between now and the time the price rise takes effect then you could potentially have an argument. |
