If is your chosen mobile provider, then bad news is coming soon. The BT-owned network has just begun emailing customers revealing how much extra they will pay from next month. So now is definitely a good time to check your inbox and see if you are going to be affected by the rise, which is seeing some bills hiked by a whopping 6.4 percent.
That increase means someone currently paying £50 per month will see £3.20 being added to their monthly outgoings. If your family bill is £100 right now, it will soon jump to £106.40. EE says the hike will allow it to continue to invest and bring a better experience to users.
In the message, seen by Express.co.uk, EE said, “We wanted to remind you that on or after 31 March 2025, the price you pay for your mobile plans will increase by 6.4%. This is in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rate of inflation published in January, plus 3.9%.
“Out-of-bundle charges and selected add-ons will increase by 5%. For example, a £5 add-on will increase by £0.25 a month.
“This all means we can continue investing to deliver the best connection for you and your home, now and in the future. We’re always working to bring you a continuously better mobile experience and great value for money.”

The changes take effect on March 31st, so if you are not happy and aren’t tied to a contract, now is a good time to shop around. Switching to a new SIM-only deal can save money along with checking how much data you are actually using and dropping your allowance. For example, a plan with Unlimited data costs around £10 more than a more basic 10GB SIM.
