The savings claim is based on the research conducted by Citizens Advice on 19 September 2018.

Citizens Advice research found:
• From analysis of over 700 different bundled contracts, consumers would pay more in almost 3 out of 4 (73%) of cases than buying a phone outright.
• Bundled mobile contracts confuse consumers, with most (55%) assuming it is the cheaper option.
• On average customers are overcharged £22 a month, but this could be as high as £38 for high-end phones such as an iPhone 7 or Samsung Galaxy.
• Vulnerable people are more at risk of being overcharged. Older people are twice as likely to be charged for a phone they already own longer than 12 months, which could cost them on average £264.
