Tesco Mobile pay-as-you-go customer? Be prepared: it may push you to buy a bundle
Tesco Mobile is pushing its pay-as-you-go (PAYG) users to move to its new bundles. Failure to do so means paying for Tesco Mobile's standard PAYG rates, which it's hiked by up to 213%. If you're one of the 1.4 million users affected, it's worth looking at switching to a cheap monthly Sim instead – unless you just keep your…

Hi folks - first post and all that :) I tried finding a similar thread but couldn't find the same example, so here's my question. I just moved from O2 to lebara on the MSE deal - all good - all went smoothly. My daughter is on GiffGaff and I want to move her over too, as it's pretty much half the price. I'd like to manage…

Started with voice mail coming through as a different noise and not registering in messages. Missed Calls coming through an hour later. Some things like…

O2 Price Increase April 2026
Hi all, I'm 11 months into a 24m sim only contract with o2. I would like to get a new handset as I don't think my current one will stretch for another 13months, so I'm thinking I might cancel my current contract and get a handset&airtime contract instead. Can I do this and not have to pay the outstanding balance? I've seen…

O2 pulling a fast one?🤔
As many on this forum recently, I'm going to be affected by the O2 price hike in April. I contacted them to discuss but the outcome was "contact us in Mid April to discuss as we can't do anything now due to a discount already applied to your account". My thinking is they have tried to stall me leaving & miss the…

EE network - Best Piggyback MVNO Network
HI. I'm currently coming to the end of my BT Mobile SIM only contract and they seem to be phasing out BT mobile and only offering EE SIM only.

31.25% April 2026 Price Increase from O2
Hi all, got an email last week from O2 about their annual price rise, which am sure many of you also had. Great wording (not) "From April 2026, your airtime plan will now be increasing by £2.50 instead of £1.80." Main point of this isn't about the £2.50 increase, it's the % it represents of 31.25%! Unsure of the fixed…
