Fonehouse - Google Pixel 10a 256mb Out of Stock after order
Hello, Has anyone else signed up for the offer from Fonehouse on the Google Pixel 10a from the weekly MSE email? I actually signed up on Sunday the day before the email came out and it was all showing as in stock with next day delivery. "Great" I thought.

My wife bought a phone through Carphone Warehouse, with an iD Mobile SIM in September 2024, so she will soon have been with them for 24 months. She's checking the exact date, but September is still the correct month How does she buy a new phone, also from CW and transfer her number over ? They have offered upgrades, but…

Lebara Auto-Renew for Full Amount during Discount Period
Maybe I missed something in the small print when I signed up for the Lebara MSE 10GB SIM-only plan. It offered a discount for the first 9 months. However, what appears to be happening is that the full amount is deducted each month and I have to contact Lebara to get a refund of the difference. They say I need to do this…

RWG's New Website, Plans and new Charges
RWG's new site has been up for a few days now and several of us have been having a few issues with a variety of things, so I thought it a good idea to start a new thread rather than have spurious comments spread over two other RWG threads. Logging in was my first problem. Although it obviously recognised my email address…

TrueCall White Standalone Unit
I've used the "mobile" category because I couldn't find a "landline phone". Has anyone used the Truecall standalone call blocker? https://www.truecall.co.uk/shop/truecall-call-blocker From what I can see, numbers are added to the Truecall by pressing * or through the Internet Control Panel (ICP). If the ICP is used then…

Which network
I'm still with EE and yet to change. My sim only contract ran out months ago, I don't want to be committed to another 24 months contract. My data runs out very quickly as I only have 5 gb.

eSIM contract suggestions for those that spend a lot of time abroad?
Hi, I'm trying to find an eSIM contract for a UK number that will allow roaming usage for longer than most networks provide - from 6 months up to most of the year in the EU. Most have a fair-usage limit of 2 or 3 months because it's assumed that occasional travel/holidays will cover this. But is there anything specifically…

Beware of SMARTY. Be smarter.
There are a lot of good MNVOs with good customer service, rolling contracts and good account management systems (online or on an app). Using the MSE comparison tool has been great getting deals for Lebara (Vodafone). I would caution people using Smarty though. On initial inspection, Smarty has "good" reviews online, but…

Just dodged a SKY Mobile bullet
Sky might be wondering why a number of people did not complete the Sky mobile £59p a month deal (£1 a month with a £5 voucher in 4 months if no complications). As far as I am concerned this whole deal is just a data grab, first you have GiftCloud who want you to opt-in but they did not pre-tick, so all good there. Then on…

EE charging premium rate for relay calls
I have neurological problems which mean I cannot speak for much of the time and use the Relay U.K. app for making calls. Recently I tried to phone my local doctor but the call was immediately cut off, and I got a message from EE saying I’d reached my charge cap limit (which is zero). This made no sense because I have…

Assumed the £5.00 I paid would correspond to the number they provided me with but Lebara say they have not received any payment from me (even though I have confirmation from PayPal) and that I need to go to a 'top up…

EE - added data no extra charge.
Background - once out of my initial contract I dropped down to a cheaper tariff that covered my needs. I settled on a 7gb monthly, unlimited calls and text. However the last three or four months I have been either using all my data or at least 80%. Complaint - I received a text on Saturday 22 Aug, advising I had used my…

Lyca transfer esim
I am wondering if anyone has managed to transfer an eSim from one phone to another with Lyca? I spoke with customer services and she said I needed to buy another eSim for new phone and then somehow transfer old to new? Considering I have credit on the old esim and a deal which i bought literally 2 weeks ago this seems…
