Should I upgrade now, or wait for 4g?
I am on a rolling contract with an iphone 3gs 16gb that I've had for 3 years. It has served me well, but is starting to malfunction in small ways and getting annoying (eg buzzing as though I've got a text at random times, but I haven't). I've decided to upgrade but I'm not sure whether to just do it now, or try to hold out…

Phones 4u, Vodaphone in disguise?
It's not the first time something like this has happened. I've been lazily searching for a decent handset and contract I'm happy with, but so far nothing so no phone, no contract and occasionally I do still visit phone stores on and off-line to scour for any decent deals. (There still aren't any that I like). It doesn't…

talktalk mobile mis sold?
First post here and looking a bit of advice. My elderly father got "caught on the phone" a few months back apparently with someone from talktalk.

I've got a new phone coming tomorrow from o2 but I've received 2 emails with 2 different tracking numbers so I'm concerned they've sent it twice! Has this happened to anyone else?
