Title: Asda Payg Price Increases .
Post by: BJ on April 01, 2011, 08:14:46 PM
Have been informed that from early May the standard call charge will be changing from 8p per minute to 10p per minute, and the standard text charge will be moving from 4p to 6p.

Cant give you a link yet.

If that's right I reckon ASDA might be starting the trend..

I received a text today, saying that the information is now on their website.

See:-   www.asdamobile.com/tariff (http://www.asdamobile.com/tariff)

Note:-  the price changes happen on the 31st May, not at the beginning of the month, as indicated in the OP.       ;)

One lamentable change about which BJ did not warn is the huge increase in their data charges.  These are going from 20p per MB up to 2.5 times that amount:
i.e. 50p per MB !        >:(

There is also confusing wording on the website, for example "All texts 6p" in one place, but "Texts to Overseas from UK SMS" 30p in another !        ???

 Possibly the reason for the delay is that there T&C says material changes in the Price Plan or Services will be published on not less than 30 days’ notice. :)


http://www.asdamobile.com/compare_tariffs.html is the place to find the increases given that you like everything to be so precise. ::)

I do indeed like to be precise BJ, but your little taunt is actually misplaced.        :o

The Link I gave was a precise quote of the text message that Asdamobile sent to my mobile, so any error is theirs, not mine.       ;)
