CHARGES BY MOBILE PHONE OPERATORS

Early day motion 858, tabled 25 October 2005 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 47 members.

That this House notes a recent survey by OneCompare.com which indicates that many mobile phone operators have charges that automatically, and without warning, rise considerably for contract phone users who exceed their monthly limit of inclusive text or talk minutes, in some instances by more than 100 per cent. per text or per minute; and calls upon the companies concerned to review their rates and to make all such charges clear in advances to all users.

Signatures by party: Labour 19, Liberal Democrat 13, DUP 6, Conservative 5, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1, UUP 1.
