o2 default
Hi I have an o2 on my credit rating for a small amount (£26). It is from 3 years ago when o2 wrongly took money out of my bank account 3 times. The second time I warned I would cancel immediately as I didn't have the time to keep chasing them. The third time I told them I was cancelling with immediate effect as they were…

Three - 3p a min abroad?? really?
Three say they offer 3p a minute roaming calls. First, they don't tell you that's outside of any calls bundle. But that's ok. It only took me four calls to four separate Three shops to get that out of them (having been told any number of conflicting stories by sales staff). But second - fine -at 3p a minute. I'll but £10…

Giffgaff goodwill fund
After the recent O2 outage, giffgaff set aside £1m as compensation. You could apply, if you were inconvenienced, and decide whether you wanted your compensation to go to charity or to receive money off your next bill. I chose for my money to go to charity. It didn’t take Einstein to work out the individual compensation…

Samsung Galaxy Note 9
Ok, I'll admit that this isn't very MSE - encouraging buying an expensive phone on a contract deal - but if you're a heavy smartphone user after the latest and greatest, there are some stonking deals on the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 on mobiles.co.uk at the moment. 30GB data, unlimited calls/texts, 24 month contract on O2. £25…

This is the BEST way to get an amazing phone contract (slightly unethical)
Warning: This tip is a bit morally wrong but it works. I use 3 Mobile as my network. They have a live chat feature which is 24/7 and amazing. Their customer service is great but can also be exploited. If you don't use 3 already, pick the contract that works best for you. If you already use 3 network then great. Next step…

Can I check coverage with a new SIM that has no credit
Hi I am moving house this week to an area that has poor mobile coverage. I've had a look at the Ofcom program, but I'm not sure how reliable that will be. And whatsmore, it often shows us on the cusp of two colours. So I was thinking of ordering a free SIM from each of the three network providers (I already have an o2…

Best phone options for living in two countries at the same time
At the moment, I'm living part of the year in Japan and part of the year in the UK. I'm officially a resident of Japan, but work in the UK so I'm here a lot too. I pretty much split about six months in each country per year. This makes having a single mobile phone contract a bit difficult. At the moment I'm on an O2…

I've just discovered that Android phones do not record outbound UK 999 Emergency Calls within a Android phones Call History.

I've confirmed with my Network…
