MSE guide discussion - Piggybacking - need to keep your signal? You can still switch network
Hi all, Just starting a new thread as we've recently optimized our Piggybacking guide. Piggerbackers have come a long way, with some now offering 5G, Wi-Fi calling, visual voicemail and '4G calling' (VoLTE). Do you use any of these extra features? Also, what's your experiences switching Sims? Do you find it easy to do?…

Jersey anyone?
I’m have a rolling £5.99 p.m. SIM only deal with Lycamobile, payable by DD. Lyca piggy back on EE of course. We’ve just had a break in Jersey. When we landed, my iPhone changed from ‘Lycamobile’ to ‘Sure’ network in the top left corner. However, throughout the whole 5 nights I was unable to make or receive any calls.…

Smarty SIM - on '3' - very poor download speeds.
Trying to set up a temporary 4G router for daughter as she stays in a relative's house for an undetermined period. Got a cheap BT mini-Halo 4G router, and she bought a data-loaded SIM from Smarty. Download speeds were in the order of 2.5Mbps, which was useless for pretty much everything. I assumed it was an issue with the…

Talk Home Mobile SIM - 1 GB or 2 GB data + Unlimited Minutes + Texts + EU roaming - £2.74 per month
My elderly mother is a VERY low (almost NOTHING) user - and now that "1p mobile" makes you top up £10 every 60 days (instead of 120 days) that equates to £5 per month Found a "Talk Home" offer here - you need to sort by "Total Cost" - https://www.moneysupermarket.com/mobile-phones/sim-only/?sortBy=TotalContractCost It…

Sim for elderly person help
I purchased my 85 year old mum a basic flip mobile Art Fone 6 years ago. Mum is not able to make phone calls so the use of the phone was basically for me to phone her and check up on her. At the time I purchased a tesco sim card for £99 pence and it was never topped up and worked for incoming phone calls. 1 week ago my…

Lebara Quey
Does Lebara still only use the Vodafone network? I seen that Vodafone and Three have merged and can use each others networks so does this apply to Lebara?

Pay-as-you-go options (not bundles)
Hello, can anyone tell me which providers offer a 'traditional' pay-as-you-go option that: -isn't a bundle nor a monthly deal, and -doesn't require regular top-ups? This is because it's for a phone which will very rarely be used (probably max 5 texts / short calls per year). It's fine if I need to keep the SIM active by,…

Mobile comparison tool
My current Lebara plan beats all those that come out of the tool and even their current plan is better than many. Does anyone know why Lebara is not included in the comparison? Are any other cheap options ommited?

Hi, Please can anyone help me as I’m going round in circles with Smarty Chat? I have a ‘physical’ sim with them and as Ive decided to set up a small business I’d like an ESIM so I only carry one phone but have 2 numbers. Can I do this and has anyone done this with Smarty?

Switching
My mobile network is currently Lebara. I have seen better deals with Lebara but I am unsure if I can 'switch' to a new deal and keep my phone number. Am I right in saying that I would have to switch and port my current phone number to another provider, to then enable me to switch back to Lebara, again porting my number? I…

Explain IP addresses, please.
Just summat I noticed whilst doing lots of broadband speed tests recently. When it displays the result, it also shows the IP address, with a caption, "Hide IP address.", which I guess is an option. The thing is, the number shown is different every time I run a test on the same phone and same SIM. So presumably the IP…

Looking for a PAYG SIP calling package
I've dug out one of my old cell phones and would like to use it for SIP calling. Tried looking online for packages but it's a minefield. Comparison sites don't track SIP calling packages. I'm basically looking for a PAYG deal where perhaps I get so many free minutes a month and so many free texts. If I can choose my own…

Lebara Data Munching
Having had mobile phones since the 90s I've always been aware of usage. Have just moved to Lebara and my usage for 3 hours, doing online SuDoku, was 200Meg of data. I was previously on Tesco and that would be about 3 weeks data. The phone is flooded with Vodaphone Ads too, whilst it's cheap it may be a false economy as I…

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…
