Bills 28 days, monthly billing from April: but watch out for increases

From April, monthly bills will return to all effects and for everyone. The last day to comply is April 5, but the telephone companies are gradually harmonizing: the first to abandon the 28-day pricing, challenged by Agcom almost a year ago and now prohibited by law with the latest tax decree of last November, it was Tre, which has been in compliance since 24 March, while Wind, which is part of the same group, it will do so on 5 April, as will Fastweb for landlines and mobile subscriptions (for the rechargeable ones he proceeded on March 26th). Vodafone has also returned to its monthly bill from Sunday 25 March, while Tim has announced on its website that it will do so from XNUMX April, Easter day.

While waiting to address the issue of reimbursements - provided in the form of days of free traffic by an Agcom resolution, however suspended by the Lazio Regional Administrative Court which upheld the appeal of the telephone operators - the topic of the moment are the possible increases , given that some companies have not digested the return to 12 monthly payments per year (with the 4-week pricing system, the monthly payments had become 13) and will make the physiological drop of 8,6% of revenues fall on consumers. On average, that should be the expected increase on new monthly bills: for the month of April, Wind Tre customers will in any case not suffer any increase, while Vodafone has already billed for two, on June 10 for the monthly fee of data Sims (both rechargeable and subscription) and July 10 for the fixed network, both equal to 1,5-2 euros per month. Tim and Fastweb have not yet provided details.
