Hoping for some advice about how to sort out Digital Voice for my elderly mother. She's with Utility Warehouse for broadband and landline. They haven't been in touch with her about Digital Voice and she's now worried about what happens in January. I dont think she was even aware it was happening until one of her friends…

Honestly, I've run out of bad words to call Sky. But for all I want to complain about the impossibility of simply talking to them.... I want to take a specific complaint as high as I can. My TV and Full Fibre 150 has been £65.49, with many reductions ending in November. So, on 6th October, I spoke to someone over the phone…

A 'Telecoms Consumer Charter' that aims to better protect consumers from misleading price rises has been revealed. It comes after Martin Lewis, founder of MoneySavingExpert.com, prompted the Government to investigate the sector's problems by writing to the Chancellor over O2's recent price hike on a price hike.

Hi, Are there any free snoring Apps which wake you when snoring. I do both snoring and Catathrenia (groaning) and so need to be woken up so i stop it. "Sleep as Android" seems free but it doesnt have an audio recorder which starts recording when you snore, so as to proove that you started snoring before it actually wakes…

Signed up for Sky Fibre 150 back in August (19th) via MSE. Just got first bill and call charges are way higher than I expected. Just checked the current MSE deals for the same, and call charges are shown as much lower than I've been charged. Unfortunately I don't have a screen grab of the offer from August - but I'm…

January 2027 - analogue phone lines are being disconnected So - if you have not gone digital yet (full fibre) - it's almost too late https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/phone-internet-downloads-or-tv/check-your-personal-alarm-will-work-after-the-landline-switch-off/

I am out of my 24 month contract and now my bill has increased by £10 for, not being in contract?! Anyway, the total is now £74.99 which is including sport which I intend to cancel. The broadband is full fibre 150, for £44.99, which I think is really extortionate. EE's website is appalling, I haven't been able to access my…

Thought this might be worth alerting forum users but we've had people at the door today claiming to be from BT/EE with branded jackets showing EE logos along with Money Expert branding too. Previously had a run in with Money Expert trying to get elderly parents to switch gas and electricity so was rather wary from the…

My husband and I stopped watching TV a long time ago as we found it very biased and there was nothing either of us wanted to watch. We decided to cancel our TV license after we realised it was about 6 months since we put the TV on. We both have laptops and neither of us watch any live TV. I watch series and films sometimes…

Can anyone help, Feel like ramming my head against a brick wall trying to contact Sky regarding contract for TV. Have attempted 3 calls . Twice the line has gone dead and once the agent insisted an option given to my in writting was not available. Trying to explain I had the letter from Sky in front of me with the number I…

Less than 24hours if signing I called to cancel, they said I cant as they dont offer a 14 day cool off period. I explained…

can anyone advise on broadband with landline phone deals costs and speeds or should I wait till Feb next year for the best deals I am with talktalk and wish to have landline even although do not use it much

What's the link to cancel? I'd like to be sent the confirmation paper too to show them if they come to door. My TV can be seen from window outside slightly but not easily on a 1st floor flat if my blinds not pulled across. But lay out of flat is confusing for them to know it's my lounge. There's 5 flats in block. If tv is…

Spent 24 hours trying to research this and ended up more confused than when I started. I gather I need something app based so I know both that the call is coming via the company I pay for this service AND I know who the caller is. I want to be able to block callers. 60 minutes a month is not enough. Not expecting many long…

I received a text before from Virgin… "IMPORTANT: Please make sure your TV box stays connected to a wall socket with the switch turned on for the next 72 hours while we do a software update. This should fix some issues you may have been having with Sky Sports+.In the meantime, you can watch Sky Sports on the app or on…

I am seeking any possible help for the issues I'm facing with EE landline VoiceMail. I do not want it I have a perfectly good system which worked fine until recent meddling by EE.
