0845 business number coming through to my private landline - how to stop it.
Odd one this. Wonder if anyone has suggestions of who to contact to sort. We have had a few calls from people who have been calling an 0845 number. The number they call is a business in Stevenage which shows up on google as permanently closed. Why would people calling that 0845 number get put through to me? How can I stop…

External storage for tv?
Hello, I would like to buy an external hard drive to record tv. I have a clash of programs I would love to watch on Sunday; that are unlikely to be repeated (and aren’t on Freeview catch up). The LG site sets out the specifications for the device. I already have a hard drive for my Mac. I assume because its for a Mac the…

This months bill has risen to £129 because they have removed a discount on my sports channels and my broadband was out of contract. I have had to ring up and re negotiate a new price and got them down to £104 pm. As…

My Virgin deal which includes broadband, home phone and mobile in one bundle is coming to an end soon and the price is to virtually double.

Sony TV/Now TV question.
I have a Sony Smart TV. Recently, I've noticed an app is available which allows access to the various NOW TV passes. I'm tempted to subscribe, because it would be good to be able to view Sky Atlantic programs, which I'm not currently able to do, without the need of an extra TV stick. The thing that's putting me off is the…

I wish to amplify the sound in a landline handset (ie the imcoming voice volume, not the ringer)

NOW TV BORADBAND - free sky TV £22 per month (always) only 12 month commitment...
This is really just a bit of advice for anyone looking for a very reasonable deal. I signed up for unlimited broadband a couple of years ago, it was £25 per month and they gave me a free 3 months of Sky Sports. When it came time for renewal the standard price was a fair bit more so I phoned them up. They immediately beat…

Refund refused
I bought a refurbished mobile from Argos online recently but didn't like the camera so wanted to send it back. I was told that because I had used the phone to test the camera they couldn't accept it because they would be unable to sell it on. I don't understand this as it's already a refurbished phone so not brand new. The…
