The budget operator was due to switch from monthly to four-weekly billing this month, representing an 8.3pc price rise. The budget mobile operator 48 is abandoning a price rise that had enraged customers and sparked investigations from both the telecoms regulator and the Advertising Standards Authority of Ireland (ASAI). The operator, which is owned by Three, announced in May that it would shorten its billing period from being monthly to every four weeks, an 8.3pc price rise. However, the operator now says that it has taken on board customer feedback in its decision to jettison the price rises. Irish telecoms operators have raised prices by up to 11pc in the last year.
