Great site that lets you easily compare PAYG tariffs
I bookmarked this site years ago and it seems to still be going strong. Shows all the different PAYG options for the UK so you can easily compare them. Seems strange to me that the site isn't all that well known: http://alan.uni-hd.de/Handy/UK_SIMs-ENGLISH.html My only criticism is that they don't mention vodafone stop the…

Can I save screensaver photo to memory card?
Ages ago I took a photo of my wondercat and saved it as my screensaver. The original photo seems to have disappeared which is weird as I didn't delete it.

Orange Bill not arrive? May have been stolen while in the post
Just a quick message to let people know that apparently Orange have recently had about 3000 bills get stolen from a robbery at a post office in Telford.

Purchase Refused When Buying Mobile Via Quidco
Tried to buy new mobile from the Phone Spot (which I understand is a trading name of the Carphone Warehouse Group) via Quidco (Quidco offers £50 back on Phone Spot purchases). First email from Phone Spot said "We have processed your application with your chosen network. Your application has been referred which means that…

Firstly my apologies if I have asked a question which is in previous threads. I did try to trawl through the other threads, but there was just so much info.

Took advice from this site nine months ago and ordered a mobile on a cashback system. Cost £30 per month.

Virgin signal - can't get out of contract!
I've been a customer of Virgin (PAYG - by DD) for about 3/4 years. Last Sept, I decided to go on contract with them for £25/month with a brand new shiny Samsung Z400 - 12 month contract - with the idea that I would use that instead of the house phone.

Can anyone tell me how often you have to put credit on your mobile for PAYG? Is it different for different types of sims, mates rates for instance?

T-Mobile business 1-plan with a single user?
Interesting experience with T-Mobile yesterday... I've started a small (well, one-man) IT consultancy a few months back and I'm getting fed up with using my personal mobile for business, mainly because the reception at several client sites is atrocious. T-Mobile's business 1-plan offers pretty much what I need, with…
