iPhone and notifications
Hi guys, this is a very simple question. You know that new notifications in iPhone appear in the screen when the phone is blocked and if you swipe up (without unblocking the phone), you can see old notifications or those notifications that you didn't read previously when you open your phone, right? Well, my question is…

Data contract on;y - not calls/texts
Does anybody know of a company that offers a data only contract. I have a small Pay-as-you-go phone which I keep for emergency use only (i have spent £15.00 in the last 4 years) and so many of the deals on TV say load down an App on your mobile phone..

Cheap PAYG 4G SIM for when broadband goes down?
We've been having terrible problems with Virgin Media broadband lately - 3 separate outages of 9+ hours in the last 2 weeks. I have a 4G router which I've been using with a couple of Three Data Reward SIMs, but we're burning through the free allowance pretty quickly and the top-ups are really not very good value (e.g. £20…

WiFi calling on Android phone
I have no landline and have to rely on WiFi calls. I used to have a Vodafone signal sender but it melted and Vodafone are no longer producing them. Most networks enable WiFi calls but only if you buy an expensive phone from them. I generally pay up to £150 for a phone to own outright. Is there an affordable solution that…

Sim's memory cannot be accessed
I'm unable to send messages on my Nokia E72 - when I look for the recipient it states: "unable to access contacts saved to sim's memory" but it gives no reason for the failure. I have been removing it to enter it into my newly acquired Alcatel mobile. Could I have damaged it when removing it, and exchanging it, with…

I never leave the house and my 3 contracts up
Hi, being 2020 I hardly leave home, and as a result I've realised I'm barely using my data, calls or texts. Now I'm out of contract I'm paying 20. 54 a month, on the 19th of each month to 3. I'm very happy with the phone I've got from that contract, and I think I could save money by moving to sim only. I probably only use…

Best Package for Low-volume User?
I've been on Vodafone's PAYG £10 Big Value Bundle for quite some years. In September they ended the awful Rewards (which I never really liked anyway) and the replacement, VeryMe Rewards, is even worse (if that's possible!). I am one of those mobile users who don't tend to use it much at all: less than 10 MB of mobile data,…

Think I need to unlock phone?
I’m a relative novice with phones so please be gentle! I have a Samsung Galaxy S8. It was originally on an O2 contract from 2018, and I switched to Giffgaff in 2019 with no issue. I’ve just switched to Sky mobile but it won’t work. The message is “SIM network PIN blocked. Enter SIM network PUK.” I spoke to someone at sky…

I recently upgraded my 3 contract from SIM only to an actual phone. I thought I'd got a good deal as the website stated 12 month contract and I got an email confirming the duration (three times). A week later a letter from three turns up now stating the contract length is 24 months! I've complained, but all they're…

Where to buy a mobile phone
Hi there, I am ready to buy a new mobile - well, mine is on its last legs. I am intending to buy a Samsung Galaxy S10 or S10 + (struggling a bit to decide as I love the +, but worry that it is a bit big for my small hands - any thoughts would be most welcome). My question is where to go to buy. I bought my previous phone…

My contract comes to an end 6.12.20. I received a letter a few days ago. Explaining my contract will be changed to a O2 rolling contract. (at a rip off cost of course) Normally I believe I need 30 days to cancel? Does that mean if I put a switch in tomorrow via Pac code. Will get charged an extra month if I set up to…

Anybody have any experience of QwikFone? I need a new phone and am going refurbished. They are cheaper than most but the TrustPilot reviews don't quite ring true ( no pun intended)
