Telefónica, Vodafone and Orange are hiking the prices of their convergent packages in an attempt to get higher revenues.

Vodafone is raising their prices by between €2 and €5 in exchange for more services like its zero-rated messaging Chat Pass and Social Pass, additional mobile lines and more speed.

The Chat Pass now allows subscribers to enjoy data free access to  Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Linkedin, Snapchat, Tinder, Flickr, Tumblr, Grindr, Badoo, Meetic, Adopta un tio, Periscope and eDarling.

The packages Vodafone One S, M and L plans will rise from €53, €64 and €77 a month to €57, €68 and €81 a month respectively starting from 01 April.
