Does Tesco Mobile offer rentention deals?
Hi, I have reached the last month of my Tesco Mobile pay-monthly contract, and was looking forward to negotiating a good deal on an upgrade, but they would only offer me a little more data on their current deals. If I didn't want that, they were happy for me to leave. I often hear about people getting great deals from…

Texts taking 2-3 days to arrive on my phone!
I have a PAYG with Three on my unlocked 3 month old Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-G360-F I've noticed that incoming texts can take up to 3 days to arrive, often replies to texts I've sent (which it seems get to the recipient straight away), which is how I'm sure they are delayed somewhere/somehow. Several days ago I got 14…

Vodafone Issues

I've been a customer of Vodafone for many years now, I had a contract for 12 months with them and was a happy customer so signed my wife up to an 18 month deal when she got her phone. At the end of my contract, I moved to a sim…

Best way to try before you buy for networks
Hi. Please excuse this slightly noob question: Following our 'adventure' with Vodafone which is ending with us walking away, I'm obviously looking for a new provider from the remaining three.
