Hi I have a sim only 2 year contract that ends at the end of this year. Can they auto renew this without telling me? I might forget to cancel it but is it up to me to cancel or them to remind me?

I've got a Lebara sim and my 12 month initial offer has expired. To make use of their new deals and to keep my existing number, I take it I need to switch to another provider and port my number across and then port it back? Would switching to something like this for 30 days be okay and then re-joining Lebara work?

My 02 classic sim got this today. To be honest never noticed till i saw the wifi calling icon on my phone. I wonder if its a national roll out, or locally were 3g has been switched off. Anyone know?

Wondering if anyone else has noticed this too, but i recently ported all my family from smarty to spusu. Since then, the amount of spam calls on all of the numbers is crazy. We get calls every day and are having to block them on all of the devices. Had sequential numbers call and random ones. But all are either ones that…

I have been on the EE 30 Day Essential Sim 5Gb for 2 or 3 years and had been paying £7.08 a month since the most recent price increase in April. I was moved to this plan after the closure of Plusnet mobile and had been happy. The amount of data was about right for me. Odd months I would run out and it would revert to "slow…

Many Mobile Virtual Network Operators (those like CoOp Mobile, PlusNet, etc, which do not have their own infrastructure but use that of EE, Vodafone, Three, etc) do not support short code messages. What does this mean in practice? Is it a reason to stay away from these operators or would most people be reasonably…

I have a nuance situation here. I noticed Voxi had the cheapest phone, but you have to pay £10 for a rolling 30 day contract. I also got £22.50 cashback initiated, but it says 8 weeks from top cashback, so that could track to zero. I have no intention of using the sim, and have not activated it. My questions is If the sim…

I joined Spusu a week ago, porting my existing number from Lycamobile. The port request took just1 day to complete, while I was using the temporary number texts were being received and sending ok. After the port, I wasn’t receiving texts from my wife on Lycamobile, I was also aware of missing a couple of messages I was…

I'm really frustrated that Sky Mobile don't seem to value their loyal customers and don't give them access to the same deals as new customers. I thought there was supposed to be a stop being put to all that. I've been looking at SIM plans, I'm out of contract and currently paying £14 10GB data, which is actually really…

We've just returned from a 6-week trip from the Baltics/Finland. Plenty of time and opportunity to check roaming with the two SIMs in my wife's phone. Data was fine with both. We had a feeling that Spusu was quicker in getting a connect and also somewhat faster once connected. Both SIMs gave us a mix of LTE/5G and I…

Hi, earlier this year I took out a contract with Talkmobile via a link on this site that was supposed to give me an Amazon voucher after a few months and as yet some months after I was supposed to receive it I have not; has anyone else had this?

Just had the first experience of trying to sell a couple of mobile phones to two of the well-known online resellers. One organisation has a drop-off agreement with one of the well-known shoe repair chains. The phone is inspected at drop-off and the offered price verified. The payment is then supposed to be received via…

Hi all I have an Oppo Find X3 Neo which I bought in 2022. The phone still works fine but earlier this month Google wallet stopped working with an error msg that my phone doesn't meet security standards. The last time there was a security update was August 2024. Google Play services say my phone isn't certified even though…

A few years ago OH ran his own business and had his mobile on an O2 business contract with his business email address. When he no longer had the business, it was difficult for him to transfer the number to an account in his own name, and the only option they could give him at the time was to take a PAYG contract with O2,…

Hi, I have a Lebara SIM only deal that I've got at MSE a few years ago. I now want to get a deal with more data, but also from Lebara. How can I do this and keep the same number? My understanding is that you cannot transfer the number within the same provider. Any ideas?

Hi, I need the cheapest/free way to port a number so i can port it back. Have a sim only contract with id mobile. Bought a new phone with an id mobile contract attached (they didn't offer an upgrade for the phone/deal i got) .... now i discover you can't transfer a number from id to id so need to make a triangle to do this…

When porting a mobile number from EE to Talk Home Mobile a problem occurred and customer support was awful. Errors occasionally occur but how a company deals with the issue is key and in this case Talk Home Mobile did poorly. Initial contact with customer support was made over the phone but agents were not helpful and…

had a samsung note 10 lite (not the mega one, just cost a £200 a few years ago). Dropped it in water couple weeks ago, and was thinking anyway that it may need updating - it was starting to be sluggish. in a panic as i was thiking the note might die, and i was about to go away, i did a very quick google search and bought a…

Anyone know where i can order a free payg sim from 3 without having to buy any data pack?

Hello, I am looking to move from Virgin to Lebara, for 2 reasons: 1. The greed in their price hike and I am days away from the end of my 12 month contract. 2. I want to stay with Vodafone network. I was previously with Lebara 12 months ago. My question is, if I move over does anyone know if I will still be regarded as a…
