People who have a phone contract with o2 or Virgin have been warned they will pay as much as £48 more from April.
It will come as a blow to some people following the increased cost of living we have seen in recent weeks.
Both networks, which merged last year as part of a £31billion tie-up, will raise prices for some pay monthly customers by up to 11.7%.

This is calculated based on the retail price index (RPI) rate of inflation - which now stands at 7.8% - plus 3.9%.
The price rises will come into force from April 1, 2022 - but exactly how much more will be added to your bill will depend on which network you're with.
It also varies depending on what type of contract you’re on and when you joined O2 or Virgin.
An O2 spokesperson said: “We recognise price changes are never welcome, and always balance keeping our prices competitive with the need to continue investing in the services that our customers use and love.
“For most customers the price increase only applies to the airtime part of their bill and with our most popular tariffs costing from as little as 33p per day for superfast data with unlimited minutes and texts, our customers receive incredible value as well as extra perks such as Priority.”
O2 customers who joined after March 25 last year will face the full 11.7% price hike - adding as much as £48 a year to your bill.
But if you joined before March 25 last year, your price increase will be capped at just the rate of RPI inflation, which is 7.8%.
Customers who are on an O2 Refresh tariff - where you have separate device and airtime bills - will only see the hike added to the airtime part of their plan.
