How we check

Every current price comes from the provider’s own UK page, re-checked twice a week. Past rises come from provider announcements and named publications, listed on each service’s page. Tely is independent of every provider: some links on the site earn a commission, and it never changes a price or a ranking. Editorial standards and how Tely earns.
