While EE, O2 and iD Mobile all received two complaints each, and Sky Mobile three, which is the industry average.

According to Ofcom, 31 per cent of Vodafone complaints were issues relating to how complaints were handled, billing prices and charges (26pc) and issues when changing provider (21pc).

A similar percentage of Three’s complaints were around how complaints were dealt with (29pc). Issues relating to faults, services and provision accounted for 23pc, with bills and charges 22pc.
