Phone info minefield - fingerprint sensors
Hi there. My old phones had either a fingerprint sensor on the side or the back but now modern phones seem to have them on the screen. The issue I have is that I don't like flip cases that protect your screen and all the screen protectors I've got for the one I have now that have a slightly thinner area over the sensor are…

Replacing an Old IPhone
Hello. Don’t know if anyone can help. I’ve had a hand me down IPhone 6s for about 5 years now and has suddenly started losing power really fast. As it’s such an old model I think just replacing battery won’t do much. I can’t really afford a new IPhone and I don’t trust refurbished ones. What is the cheapest older model…

1p Penny Mobile
Just a follow-up from Martins’ help on mobile phones tonight, I am an avid fan of '1p Penny Mobile'. If you
are a light user, the tariff is only 1p per minute, 1p per text, and 1p per MB of
data. They also have a 1-year deal for £36 which I have just signed up to. This then gives you unlimited calls
& texts, plus 250MB of…

Is EE testing VoNR?
When I make a call while connected to 5G, my iPhone normally switches to 4G for VoLTE and then back to 5G. But I've noticed that in one particular area the phone stays connected to 5G throughout. I know VoNR hasn't launched but is EE testing it?

Lebara?
Hi, Do mobile companies recycle numbers? I've been with Lebara a few times, and each time I get a new payg SIM card, I've had texts for other people, once for a woman from a company who had finished appraising the gold she had sent in. Another time, I tried to sign up online using my number on a new SIM and was told this…

My mobile is practically useless unless I am on WiFi. I have no signal to make calls or send/receive texts and no data. O2 tell me there is a mast issue and it should be fixed by the end of April 2024 (approximately 6 weeks away). I am mid contract. What are my rights, please?

Lebara Sim
I sent for one of these and was trying to buy a new second mobile phone for my BiL. Sister said he probably was set in his ways and would not use it, so I put off buying the phone. Lebara kept reminding me I would lose the deal I signed up for, so I put the Sim in my iPad Mini, it works a treat. I cannot work out how to…
