Lebara
Hi I got a Lebara data sim for the first time and I want to check something if I ring their topup number and pay for a new 30 day data pack with my debit card, do they keep my card details and try to automatically charge me for another data pack once that month is up? I just want to buy one occasionally when I need one and…

Lebara porting issues
Signed up with the latest Lebara deal last week and am having no end of porting problems. My number was supposed to have moved on Monday, got an email on Tuesday saying it had completed. Still cannot receive any calls. Texts out and in show the old number. Only saving grace is data seems to be working ok. Have contacted…

How on earth are they MSE's No:1 choice?
I am absolutely baffled how Lebara are MSE's mobile SIM company of choice. I applied for a SIM only contract several weeks ago, and was promised Royal Mail 1st Class delivery. When the card did not arrive, after five days, I contacted their 'CHAT' facility and discussed my problem. I was promised delivery within the next…

EE or SPSU ?
Was thinking of leaving EE for spusu until they offered me a good deal on retention at £6 for 20gb … I can pay £6.90 for SPUSU which has EU Roaming. I need a reliable service as I do online live bidding while on the move so cant lag etc - would the service be the same ?. I rarely go overseas so EU roaming should not be an…

Charged for MMS
I received a WhatsApp message with a short video and replied with a short message. I received my first bill from Asda Mobile as I only took out the contract with them recently and it showed a charge of 25p for a MMS. I need to say at this juncture that I am 81 years old and not a fan of the necessary evil called a mobile…

Do Spusu demand to Return the SIM?
I am planning to move to Spusu for a month and then return to Lebara I asked Google if they charge to exit and got the data below. What jumped out at me was this: SIM Return: If you cancel within the first month, you may be required to return the SIM card, or you might be charged. Has anyone here been asked to return a SIM…

Hi Folks, Both my Wife and myself are with Talk Mobile. Presently out of the UK in Spain. We are three weeks into a five week trip. My Wife has received a message saying she has used 80% of her ‘fair use’ roaming policy, which is 5GB. Her monthly allowance is 50GB of which she general uses 5-6 GB. It does not state how…

Do Lebara deals rotate?
I am finally dumping Sky Mobile. I ordered 10GB MSE Exclusive Monthly Plan for £1.00 a month for 7 months then £4.90 but the sim did not arrive despite numerous phone calls to Lebara. They then said they would sent me one within 24 hours but that did not arrive. A day later they cancelled the plan and refunded me my…

Spusu SIM only
Hi. I'm considering a spusu monthly SIM only and it says the price increases after 12 months. As the 12 month arises can I just switch to one of their other plans (does it have to be a different plan)? What's the options? Thanks.

Does Sky Mobile always use these tricks when you try to make a formal complaint?
I got two emails from Sky a day apart, first one said they were hiking price from £8 to £11, I had been staying with them while they resolved another matter, but they never did. Then I got another email a day later saying I was out of contract and I could leave, The price increase was going to take effect in less than 30…

Lebara - is there a worst customer service department?
I swapped across to Lebara from Vodafone. What a massive mistake. Nothing has worked since and the contact 'help' centre are absolutey appalling. They cut you off when you use their chat function - or put you on a 72 hour wait list. Now without a working phone for a week.

Lebara SIM only does not work
There are other similar threads on this site on problems with Lebara, but as I still see "MSE Blagged" for the Lebara SIM only deal on https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cheap-mobile-finder/sim-only/ I'm creating a new thread hoping Money Saving Expert website admins will sort that out. It seems Lebara does not offer a 5G…

Problems with EE Talk and Text tariff.
I've had an EE Talk and Text plan for years, renewable at £1 a week. It normally renews every Monday, not so today. I've rung EE to query why not. I was told there is apparently a fault. However, the helper I spoke to told me that if she were to update my account manually, it would mean I would be on a more expensive…

Flex pay from EE- wierd
Hi Just a quick one but with EE they seem to now offer 'flex pay' which is you have a DD for the phone and a DD for the plan. However the default option is for the phone to be on a 36 month contract and most plans are 24. Meaning after 24 months you can upgrade the plan but not the phone? I bet people will not realise this…

Do I pay if it is not within my bundle. SKY Mobile.
I have a bundle with Sky mobile for £2 a month that I use to enter competitions with 033 numbers which are within my bundle. What would happen if I called a number that was not within my bundle, such as a 5 digit number that cost £2 plus network charges, would it go through and be added to my £2 direct debit or would it…

ID mobile Bill Capping advice.
Looking to change from EE to cheaper provider but still use the EE signal . I am currently paying £12 for unlimited texts / calls plus for 32gb . My concern is when I went to sign up to the ID mobile and set the bill capping to zero get the warning " By selecting £0 monthly cap some services will be unavailable,…

iD Mobile free roaming?
The iD Mobile (SIM only) plans in the MSE Cheap Mobile Finder now all seem to say "No roaming" and "No free roaming", which I'm pretty sure they didn't last time I looked at it just a couple of days ago. Is this a mistake, or has something actually changed in the last few days? The iD Mobile website still seems to say…

Lebara Contact Form Not Working
We've got an ongoing Vodafone outage (36 hours and counting) and wanted to talk to Lebara to see if they had any idea how long it was going to last. I tried talking to a human but got a person in an Asian call centre who didn't seem to understand English. So I tried the online contact form. When I described the problem the…

EE Dirty Tricks?
My husband just signed up for an MSE recommended sim only monthly plan with Lebara.. Good deal, free roaming and 10gb data. He applied for his EE PAC code and today EE rang him to offer him an improved deal with them ( not as good as Lebara) but also warned him that if he went over his data allowance with Lebara they would…
