Does your mobile company charge over the odds? Did you know that it costs your mobile company less than 1p to send a text message, yet they charge you up to 12p. Do you think it should be changed. What does your mobile network charge you..

Network providers don't "play shop" you know. 
They chage to make money; to pay staff, to maintain and develop their network, to let you and me be able to use our mobile phones.
If you bought a product for £2 and couls sell it for £10, wouldn't you do that then?
That is how it works mate. 
So my answer: no. I have chosen a network provider that suits ny needs and are willing to pay what they charge.

Pretty obvious isn't it? Networks need to make some serious cash to pay for those expensive 3G licenses so they have to claw it back somehow!

I'm quite content with the tarrif I'm on and think I do get value for money and like any other service if I didn't like it I would simply shop else where

So why do they charge over the odds to pre pay customers? Wouldn't it be easier to charge them the same price?

here prepay customers simply pay the 'going rate' for calls and texts and such. As they are not on a contract, the network can amend those tariffs as it deems necessary. Most networks will still inform all prepay customers that registered though.
Contract customers pay a rate they agreed upon when signing the contract. I would assume all contract customers aree aware of their agreed tariffs before they sign (I know I was) so my monthly bill is hardly shocking. defoo no reason for uproar. If the networks wants to raise tariffs for contract customers there is a limited time span in which the customer can cancel the contract based on it no longer is conform the original agreement.
It seems normal and fair to me. If you think it's too expensive, don't use it imho 
I for one am happy with the services provided, and have no problem paying for them.
