MP ASKS MOBILE PHONE USERS - WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

June 29, 2009 10:29 AM

Mobile PhoneNick Harvey has joined forces with Consumer Focus to help tackle problems faced by mobile phone users. In response to consumer complaints about the service they receive from mobile phone companies, Consumer Focus, the new independent champion for consumers, is now conducting an investigation into the mobile phone sector.

Nick says 'Public confidence in the mobile phone sector is shaky with more than 100,000 complaints received by the advice agency Consumer Direct in the last two years. I am very pleased that Consumer Focus is championing mobile consumers' rights.'

Ed Mayo, Chief Executive of Consumer Focus, says 'Nine in ten UK households now use a mobile phone, more than have a fixed phone line. The challenges facing mobile phone users have moved on greatly since the first mobile call was made in 1985. Mobiles are at the heart of modern communication and those without access can face exclusion and disadvantage. It is crucial that all consumers get a fair and affordable deal.'

    If you are a resident of the North Devon constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
