Insured phone repaired - last two weeks not they say water damage?
Broke for Galaxy S5. Totally my fault - sat on it in my pocket. Screen broke, case shaped like a banana. £50 excess with my insurance. Phone came back. I should have checked it was the same phone- I dont think it was. Two weeks later it packs up completely. So I sent it back to the repair company the insurer uses. Now…

txtnation
Hi all, So the other day I was on my phone playing a free game that I've played for a month or so now. I closed it, went back to my desk and heard a buzz. I had a text message saying I had signed up to "FunPortal" and was being charged £4.50 per week. So my first thought was it was a scam and ignore it. But then I checked…

Apple Upgrade Program - Credit check
Hi folks. I'm interested in going with the new Apple upgrade program at some point in the future. Some people might think it's a good deal, some might consider it a crazy price for a phone, but I'd save £20 a month doing it. Anyway, I've noticed that this program is based on a 0% interest-free loan from Barclays. My credit…

Giffgaff broken activations currently
For many people (perhaps all) its impossible to activate a SIM card last few days, people already set up can top up but new accounts can't get past the non functional pay now button. I am concerned that the banking system is not letting them validate new payments set up, could it be a sign they are in financial trouble?…

Vodafone charging for MBs of data despite data cap
Hello! My partner has a contract with Vodafone (I know...) and typically her monthly bill ends up being way over the expected price, especially lately. She contacted them via the live chat today and was told that because she went over her data limit by 45MB (not GB), they charged her £6.50. Nearly 7 quid for 45MB of data -…

If I got an iPad on contract, would I be able to merge data with my mobile contract?
In 2014, my step dad started paying for my contract on an iPhone 6 Plus with EE. Although EE messed us about with the pre-order, and so they set us up on a better deal, pretty much sharing data between the two of us, so we had separate numbers, but we were sharing about 10GB of data a month. He later did this with my mum's…

GiffGaff and Ratesetter
Just been browsing around GiffGaffs website and I see that if you want a package deal to pay monthly you are financed by Ratesetter. From what I understand of them they only lend to the cream of the crop so does that necessarily mean that their phone deals are subject to more stringent credit searches than other providers?…
