Huge bill after watching netflix
Sorry, I posted this in the wrong forum ( home phones instead of mobiles) so have re-posted here. My son has received a huge phone bill from Vodafone because he watched a film on netflix on his phone! I know - this seems obvious to us normal folk, I have no idea why he didn't realize. He says he wasn't aware that his free…

Where do I start?
Right then, the whole family have smart phones on contracts. Me, I have an old flip up phone on pay as you go. Suits me to be honest, but the girls all keep telling me I need a smart phone. TBH I only make calls and a bit of internet would be useful. Texting is a waste of life IMO, so it is not important. I do not really…

Sudden improvement in Samsung phone battery
A few weeks ago I bought a Samsung S3 mini. I was happy with it with the exception of battery life which seemed very short . Then last week I got an automatic upgrade. In the past couple of days I have noticed a huge improvement. Has anyone else found this ? Is it due to the upgrade?

Downgrading Tariff on O2 partway through a Contract
I've started hunting round for upgrade deals on O2 for when my contract is up in a month or so. One of the criteria I have is keeping the monthly cost down or only a moderate increase. If I take out a contract now at say £37 per month but want to reduce my tariff part way through, can you still do that? You used to be able…

Nexus 5
Apologies if there is already a thread on this new phone but I couldn't see one posted in the last 24hrs. For those out of the loop, Google launched their latest "Nexus" phone last night at 6pm UK time and the phone has gone on sale on their website. I think it's worth highlighting here as if anyone is looking for a "best…
