It will be a traumatic return from vacation for most Italians. After spending two-three weeks on the most beautiful beaches in Italy, you have to return to deal with the hard life of every day. Including increases in household and mobile phone bills.
The news comes from the latest study published by SosTariffe.it on price changes of the main services and utilities. According to the research carried out by the website's experts, mobile phone subscriptions will undergo an increase in September of up to 28%. A real bloodletting for Italians, who will have to juggle between the various remodulations announced by telephone operators in these days. In fact, Vodafone and Wind Tre have increased from September the price of some of their offers by about 2 euros (ranging from a minimum of 1.49 euros to a maximum of 2 euros) and the same had happened in previous months for other phone companies.
Mobile telephony, increases of up to 28%
