So In my deals, the number one question seems to be, "How much will this be come April" I thought I'd keep you lot updated on the providers who will now not be increasing bills / plans until April 2024 for new customers, hopefully you find this information useful
Are there any others you know of, please comment and I can update ASAP, cheers
Shell Energy
Vodafone
Sky Mobile
So a little bit of good news if you are thinking of taking out a Voda, Shell energy or Sky mobile Contract
What Is the Consumer Price Index (CPI)?
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, such as transportation, food, and medical care. It is calculated by taking price changes for each item in the predetermined basket of goods and averaging them. Changes in the CPI are used to assess price changes associated with the cost of living
The CPI is one of the most frequently used statistics for identifying periods of inflation or deflation. It may be compared with the producer price index(PPI), which instead of considering prices paid by consumers looks at what businesses pay for inputs.

sorted byYou can keep your number, there's no price increases, and no contract so you can walk away at any time too:
lycamobile.co.uk/ucu…-1/
If you fancy a change then there's also Smarty (Owned by Three and use their signal) for 4GB, Unlimited mins and texts at £5 per month with no contract and no price increase:
smarty.co.uk/pla…AFF
Or finally there's Asda Mobile who use the Vodafone network and do 3GB, unlimited mins and texts for £5. Same situation with no contract and no price increase:
mobile.asda.com/my-…l=1
Hopefully one of these suits you and can help save you some money. If you do leave Tesco to avoid the price rise, just text PAC to 65075 for free from your Tesco SIM and you'll get a reply with the code that you need to give to your new network to transfer your phone number with you.
If you're paying £10 (+ a further 14.4%) for only 3GB you're being ripped off! Even going with the big brands like Three, Vodafone and o2 via a service like Uswitch you'll get a much cheaper price in the region of £5-7 per month for the same or more data.
(EE, £1.56 extra)
I quite like paying £10.10!!
