Vodafone and Three UK have pledged to cap their lowest-cost mobile plans at £10 for two years as they hope to convince watchdogs to approve their £15bn merger.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has been investigating the merger between the mobile giants since it was announced last summer and may choose to block it if it believes customers will be left worse off.
The CMA has been investigating the merger between the mobile giants since it was announced last summer.
The CMA provisionally concluded that the planned merger could lead to higher bills for customers.
But Vodafone and Three made commitments as part of efforts to address the CMA’s concerns.
This included a promise to maintain fees of £10 a month, or less, for two years after the merger, for “value-focused” customers on Smarty’s offerings.
Smarty, owned by Three UK and uses the same network, offers plans for as little as £5 a month.
