Predictive text on Nokia 215 4G and Nokia 225 4G ?
Hi, I am looking for a low-spec phone. Two models I am looking at are the Nokia 215 4G and Nokia 225 4G. I cannot find on any seller site or even the Nokia site if these two models have predictive text (T9). Usually, if it isn't "said" then it isn't there... Could anyone confirm please if you know for sure that either…

Vodafone PAYG1 changes
Doesn't seem to have been mentioned here or is MSE news, but this excellent tariff for low/intermittant users is changing for the worse (much worse for some). Used to be 20p/min/text/5Mb, but capped at £1 a day for unlimited mins/texts and 500Mb of data. From Jan it'll be £1 as soon as you use send a text, make a call or…

I am trying to buy my elderly stepmother a mobile phone for emergency use. All current UK airtime providers appear to only offer rollover of minutes for a maximum of 60 days.

Hi Just wondering if anybody could help out with a recommendation on a £200-250 Android phone that they have successfully managed to get to work with a Fitbit Versa 2. Fitbit have a list of approved phones that are all at least 12 months old - none of the newer phones with the better screens/battery life. I had an absolute…

EE sansung 20 new phone - phone warranty - what are my rights
Hi - I upgraded my phone with EE (in the shop) to a Samsung 20 on 23rd October. Within a week I was having some issues of it randomly restarting or switching itself off. Would happen infrequently to start with, but then got worse. We obviously went into lockdown so I was unable to go back to the shop to discuss and it was…

Has anyone encountered problems with Three and their dysfunctional complaints system? I have had an apparently fraudulent direct debit set up on my bank account for a mobile phone contract.

Coverage Indicators
Hi, were about to change our mobile provider, but what confidence can we have in the coverage indicators? My wife is with Plusnet/EE, and while their website indicates we live in a good signal area, data is fine, but a voice call is very dodgy. We don’t want to go through the hassle of changing but finding the service is…

Do Emoji Cost
I’ve just got my new iPhone XR up and running but I’m confused about Emoji at the bottom of the keypad. If I am sending one in a text does that count as a picture message or a text message? Is there a difference between sending them to other iPhone users and Android users? My service provider is Tesco and they use O2. I…

BT mobile discount removed
I've had a BT SIM only deal for years at £10 a month which includes a £5 reduction for being a BT broadband user. We left BT broadband years ago and the discount stayed. On my latest bill it has gone, no explanation, and it's now costing £15. There are better offers, even at a tenner, but it was good while it lasted.

Carphone Warehouse renege on trade-in offer.
It seems I'm not the only one recently to have fallen for the Carphone Warehouse mobile phone trade-in offers (with bonuses) only for their trade-in "engineers" to spuriously claim that on inspection the traded-in device has "screen burn", and that as a result they would only offer me a tiny fraction of the original offer.…

Samsung/Amazon cashback deals advice pls
if you use the deal for the A51 it brings it down to £195 and if through a cashback site there's an extra 2.5% off so overall £190. It seems a good deal but is it a decent phone? Reviews seem variable but I don't need a phone for more than messages, banking, music and photos and I've never paid more than £100 for a phone…

Carphone Warehouse cancelled my order after credit check and payment
I ordered a Samsung S20 refurbished from mobiles.co.uk with a Vodafone contract prior to black Friday, and on their website it said it was in stock. I am currently with Vodafone anyway (you cant port numbers on the same network) , and they could not match the offer that mobiles.co.uk could do, so I got my PAC code to do a…
