Hello,
If i sign up to a new 24 month 5g sim only contract in feb 2023. Does the new CPI affect these contracts and increase the price a month later.
Or am i locked into that proce for 24 months.
Thanks,
Michael

@Bilbo-Villa Your contract isn’t a fixed term contract and it will get the price increase from April onwards

Wait to March and you wouldn't be affected until the following April.

I have to admit, I'm doing the same. Waiting till March to add two additional sim only lines to my account in the hope I miss the 14,4% increase in April.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that inflation might be more reasonable next year.
Knowing my luck however.... 😑
