    It is illegal but, much like energy companies all change tariffs within a few days of each other, mobile phone companies don't do much that is massively different from each other. Whilst it may not technically be collusion, it's not far short.

    The last time I did a price plan comparison between different mobile phone companies, there was hardly anything in it.

    Most of them will follow.

    I am uk based so hope that is not the case but the skeptic side of me sais no. It is always about the money.

    I think you're right. The illusion of competition over mobile phone charges barely stands up to scrutiny.

    I have two data sims with Three that cost me a tenner a month. Got them initially for travel outside the EU but with a bit of luck they'll be just as good in the EU too.
