Mis-selling phones on Amazon
So, following my bad experience buying a Samsung phone intended for the UAE from an Amazon listing specifying a UK spec model, I decided to ask a different seller about a different phone. As you can see from the conversation below, they were quite happy to admit they are mis-selling an "international model" as UK spec, but…

Lebara 90 days of inactivity
I don't use the phone so much, and could possibly go 90 days without making a call/sms/data Do Lebara notify before they take the credit balance? I know they sent me an email telling me about the 90 day thing, but that was only about a month after the last chargeable activity and didnt actually say when the 90 days would…

Is it possible to dump Lebara just before reduction and sign up again later?
I am finally getting ready to dump Sky Mobile Lebarra seemed to be the best option but I have a question... If I take out a Lebara month to month contract with say 9 months at a reduced price and 3 months at a higher price, can I switch away in month 8 to Spasu for a month and then sign up with Lebara again on the same…

Anyone know a working email address to leave / cancel BT via email avoiding phone call. The following digital-resolutionteam@bt.com just bounces back and no longer exists, tried a bunch of others all bouncing back. Does BT really not have any email address that one can contact them on. ?

wifi switching on by itself
A number of times I have found that wifi has been turned on without my knowing. When I look at settings, it says: Wi-Fi doesn't turn back on automatically. Is it being turned on by Android, or the phone manufacturer (Motorola G24), to effect updates, and then not switching wifi off after doing the update?

Samsung J5: refurb replacement options
I have a Samsung J5 2016 with a Tesco Mobile PAYG SIM. I use it for calls, texts and the occasional web browse via Wi-Fi. I really like the phone, it is indestructible, small and light. But I'm not sure it will support G4 -- I did not receive the Government warning message! My Settings say 2G/3G/LTE. No mention of 4G. ----…

O2 sim card payg gone wrong, awful support
Hi nearly a week ago my payg sim card stopped working, message "sim card not provisioned" and "emergency calls only" In sim manager my number no longer shows.

Avoid Lebara
I purchased a Lebara sim five weeks ago having seen it recommended on this site. I ported in my number from three immediately and have not been able to receive calls or texts other than from anyone on a Vodafone network which Lebara uses since then.

Onecom Vodafone weirdness

VOXI - Buying a handset
VOXI seem to have a very good deal on the new Pixel 10 and I was considering it, but there isnt much info on the site, such as delivery times etc. Can anyone say they have bought a phone from there and it was all good? How long did delivery take?

SMARTY not so smart customer service
SMARTY offer a great value (hence your rating them in top PAYG). But perhaps their popularity has affected their ability to respond quickly to customer issues. Whilst COVID has affected response times everywhere, the limitations of only having an online customer service portal become obvious. You firstly have to tackle…

O2 puffl50 sim cut off by O2
I am in dispute with O2 over the fact they cut off my sim without warning and say they cannot reconnect it, even with a new number. I had gone to the ombudsman, but O2 will not agree to their proposal which is to reconnect. O2 have admitted through their own dispute resolution process that an error was made, but after…

Cheapest way to keep a dormant UK phone number
Any recommendations on the best provider nowadays to keep a UK phone number that will not be used for some years, with no monthly contract? Idea would be to port the number to a PAYG provider and make a small top-up credit payment, and but with no monthly plan. I see discussions of this here ~10 years ago, but the provider…

Hi, I'm 9 months in with a Lebara SIM on a MSE deal which was discounted for 7 months, and I have now paid 2 months at full rate (£9.90).

Classic Pay as you go
Does any company still offer the classic Pay as you go where you put credit on your phone and you can top up when the credit is low rather than paying a monthly subscription. This would be for an elderly person who will only use the phone occasionally or in an emergency whilst out

Plan.com - Adding on £30 caps without your approval + having caps but not following them.
Hello all, I've had issues with plan.com already (November 2024) where their data usage widget broke for 2 and 1/2 weeks and after having my phone cut from data usability on 22nd November 2024, I logged in and saw that I had only used 1.6gb of the 16gb limit. I rang them and after the young lady went to check she said…
