Farewell Orange & T-Mobile, hello to EE
Upon logging into my orange account this morning, I was met by a lovely message that read that orange and T-Mobile will be merging together to make a new fabulous 4G network called 'EE'. Also in addition to this, all T-Mobile and Orange stores will be re-branded into 'EE' stores. Thoughts?

WARNING! Carphone Warehouse
My wife has had a particularly bad experience with Carphone Warehouse, so thought I would share. Last month she tried to apply for credit to help pay for a new car, but was refused.

Prices according to Apple Store (UK and US): UK: 16GB: £529 32GB: £599 64GB: £699 US: 16GB: $649 = £403 32GB: $749 = £465 64GB: $849 = £527 US prices are about what I expected to pay in the UK! £699 for an iPhone seems a bit ridiculous!

What happens when contract expires?
This is probably a really stupid question but what happens when a 12 month contract runs out. I've been with O2 for about 15 years, they were genie mobile I think for the first 5 years or so. I've only moved contracts twice from what I can remember. I've been on O2 iPhone simplicity for about 2 maybe 3 years and get their…

Orange U24 - Ageist?
Hi All, I'm after your thoughts. I have recently become embroiled in a bit of a twitter row with Orange because I believe their new 'U24' promotion to be ageist. The details of the promotion can be found here They tell me that it's "like a student discount only you don't have to be a student" & "similar to the Young…

"Unlimited" Mobile Internet
Hi, I've got a mobile phone contract with 3. The contract is from 2 years ago. It's 300 minutes, unlimited text and unlimited internet for 15 pounds. I got this contract from Carphone Warehouse. Everything has been OK in the last 2 years, until this month. It looks like 3 charged me 30 pounds for an extra usage of 17MB…

Am I missing something obvious
Just a quick question really? I've been a loyal customer for nearly 12 years with O2 and looking to upgrade my phone. I've got to pay £299 for the phone I'm after (bit of a gadget freak to be honest) and subscribe to a 24 month contract. So why does it seem cheaper for me to end my contract with O2 and move to Vodafone and…

Is this a good deal?
I have my heart set on an iPhone 4 or 4s. I have seen a deal where you pay £100 for the phone and then it is £21.50 a month for 24 months. This gets you 100 mins, 500 texts and 500mb data. I have never had a smartphone before but to me this looks really good. I'm not a great talker so it is really the texts and data I'm…
