What is a mobile phone tariff?
A mobile phone tariff is is the package you receive for the money you pay either on a monthly contract or on a pay-as-you go basis. Usually a tariff will include a certain number of call minutes and texts and will also set out rates for anything not include in your monthly allowance. Always read the small print as different mobile phone networks have different inclusions and exclusions, so make sure you know what’s included in your monthly allowance. Companies may charge you extra if you use voicemail or receive itemised bills and ‘peak periods’ may vary from network to network. So-called freephone numbers (e.g. 0800 numbers) are often chargeable at a standard national rate when you call from a mobile phone and numbers beginning 09 are always premium rate services.
