Whats the difference between upgrading and starting fresh? Three Mobile.
Hi, A quick question as I've only ever had this one mobile phone contract. But I always hear people talk about wonderful deals they've got 'upgrading'. I'm with Three mobile and my 24 month contract is coming to an end in December. But from what I can tell, there's no benefit to 'upgrade' with them rather than to just get…
Iphone 4s or Samsung galaxy s4 mini
I have a decision to make, I went to look at some upgrades today as I am now at the end of my current contract with o2. I have narrowed it down to the iphone 4s and the Samsung galaxy 4s mini (my requirements are, smallish handset, at least 200 mins, and ideally 500mb of data) and I want to spend around £25 a month. I went…
Moisture damage to mobiles?
This must be some kind of record..... My boy fell off a canal boat yesterday with his phone in his pocket (Galaxy S1), he & the phone were in the water for a good 3 minutes before we could drag him out. After making sure he was ok I got his phone & removed the battery & placed it in the airing cupboard when we got home,…
Bargaining - Orange to EE. Sony Z1
Hi, I am currently with Orange. I want the new Sony Z1 on a 24 month contract. I can get this contract with Three for £38 per month and free phone. With EE this contract with free phone is £46 per month. I don't want to change networks but I feel it will be hard to bargain with Orange as I want to move to EE. The important…

Android upgrade on memory card?
My wife recently bought a new HTC Sensation XE via eBay. Soon after setting it up, a message appeared advising that an upgrade was available, from GB to ICS. However, when I attempted to do this it said that there was no memory card available, which I thought was strange as I would have assumed that the upgrade would have…
New budget smartphone - decent deals?
I'm looking for a budget smartphone to upgrade an existing knackered PAYG - needs to have GPS and be OK for web access. The Nokia 520 looks OK at the moment, but open to other suggestions! The Nokia was previously an in-store deal for those upgrading PAYG phones at CPW - anyone know if this is still running? Otherwise, is…
T Mobile contact details?
Does anybody have a valid email address for billing enquiries at T Mobile? I have looked all around their website and can't find one, I did manage to get a 'submit an enquiry page' spent ages filling it in and detailing my enquiry, only to get an email back saying it doesn't work anymore:mad:. I don't really want to ring…
Unlocking Huawei Ascend 300
Hi Is it easy to get a Huawei Ascend 300 unlocked? There's a Vodafone Huawei Ascend 300 on Argos for £69.99, but the Sim Free Huawei Ascend 300 is £99.99. I assume these are exactly the same phone, but one locked, one unlocked. How easy is it get this phone unlocked? I've never unlocked any phone before. Thanks G
Sony Xperia SP
My son would like one of these for his 21st birthday. I had a look on Quidco and I see there's a cashback offer of £150 for a £21 per month sim only contract for 12 months for Standard Sims - if I click on Micro Sim, the monthly price rises. I was planning to purchase an unlocked Sony Xperia SP phone and then just put this…

talktalk mobile, like talking to a brick wall!
Well I've had my mobile a short time and in the house it seemed ok but the more I've used it I've come to realise the signal is pants! outdoors in generally ok but not great, indoors is rubbish, as for using the internet indoors, pretty much non existant. So I called up talktalk and after lots of waffle and both of us…

I am currently on my 3rd replacement handset in an attempt to resolve the issue. about 99% of my calls either go straight to voicemail, fail mid call or when dialling out fail to connect.
