Telecom firms have been banned by Ofcom from using mid-contract price rises that are linked to inflation after this was ruled to be ⁘confusing⁘ for households. Instead, customers must now be told in ⁘pounds and pence⁘ how much their contract will rise by each year.

Sky Mobile has now confirmed that customers who are out of contract will see their monthly bill rise by £1.50 a month, which adds up to £18 extra a year. This will come into force from February 14 for pay monthly and SIM-only customers.

A Sky Mobile spokesperson said: ⁘We always aim to provide an outstanding service alongside some of the best value plans on the market. To ensure we can continue to invest in our services and deliver a great experience, the majority of our out of contract customers will see their monthly bill increase by £1.50 in February.⁘

If you're coming to the end of your contract, compare prices elsewhere to see what other deals are available. Take a look at how many minutes, texts and how much data you currently use, so you can find similar plans that suit your needs.

Alternatively, you can try to haggle down your current provider - this generally has more success if you're coming near to the end of your contract. When haggling, explain the better deals you've seen elsewhere then ask if the company can match or beat that price.
