Brits care more about losing their mobile phone than their home

Mobile phone operator O2 has claimed that its customers are more interested in paying their phone bills rather than their mortgages.

The operator revealed that 19 million of their customers see their mobile phones as an essential part of their lives and would rather pay off their phone bills and leave other bills unpaid.

A spokesperson of O2 said: “Research shows that people would sooner leave home without their wallet than without their mobile. There are bills that do not take priority over a mobile phone, including for some even their mortgages.”
