Mobile phone contract with less than 2 years' UK residency?
Hi. I'm a returning UK expat and have only been back in the UK since December 2019. As I'd been abroad for 27 years, I'm now trying to improve my lean credit history. Taking out a mobile phone contract seems to be one good way of doing this but I'm having trouble finding a provider who'll accept only 15-ish months of UK…

Sky renewals
After following Martin''s guidance regarding haggling, my attempt today was met with a pretty negative response. Sure they offered a few quid off but after 17 years, their VIP membership did not qualify for much in real terms. I dumped Sky Q, a mini box and other add ons, and a simple trawl for phone and broadband got me…

What’s going on with this call back?
Can any members explain something. I’ve recently received a series of calls both to my landline and mobile; the calls are coming from an 07418xxxxxx number. Numbers I don’t recognise I’ll not answer but do a call back. That’s what I’ve done with this number: on the mobile it will ring once and then cut itself off, the…

Samsung galaxy camera blurry
Very very quickly getting fed up of Samsung and close to dumping the piece of crap. First my S10 5g cracks back glass after a light fall with case on (never getting a glass backed camera again). Now, the main/middle wide angle camera is blurry. Like the whole scene. The other two seem ok . Turned phone on and off, checked…

Penny Mobile
Just a shout out for 1p mobile as good money saving payg tip. The tariff is only 1p a text, 1p a minute calls, 1p a mb data. All you are committed to is £10 every 4 months i.e. 12 quid a year. They run on EE network. I have no affiliation with 1p mobile and been with them 3 years without a hitch. Ideal for a low user.…

Checking calls made on Three PAYG
Hi, I've seen a few messages in various places that you cannot see your calls made on Three's PAYG, but as these are from 10 years ago, just wondering if things have changed? I suspect not, as the three website doesn't give you this option, but possibly the app does? I'm asking as a couple of weeks ago I made a call to the…
