Seller profiles
- SMARTY Publishes both its ladders in full, with the price of running out beside them, which nothing else in this record manages.
- Vodafone Publishes one headline figure and, unusually, the April rises that follow it, which makes the term arithmetic possible.
- Lycamobile The cheapest published unlimited plan in the record, and the only seller printing a roaming cap as a figure.
- Ecotalk Prices its plans openly on the home page and argues for the difference rather than hiding it.
- Utility Warehouse Publishes both ends of its range as from prices attached to a bundle, which is a range rather than a plan.
