They did manage to clear security though which is worrying. I asked for them to put some notes on my account and not to give…

Problem selling EE phone
I had a 12 month contract with EE which included a handset. The phone developed a fault with the charging port but it was still mostly usable, just a real pain sometimes when the cable would be slightly loose and it wouldn't charge, or it would move 1mm on my desk and stop charging. After 11 months I phoned EE to change…

Vodafone Red Entertainment retention deals
I'm so fed up with this dance. Once a year my Vodafone Sim Only contract comes to an end, and every year they offer a rubbish deal to continue, so i get my PAC code. I then call retention several times to try and get a decent deal. In the last 5 years it's (eventually) been 50%, 50%, 50%, 50% and 40% off what's now being…
