Hi all, Just starting a new thread as we've recently optimized our Piggybacking guide. Piggerbackers have come a long way, with some now offering 5G, Wi-Fi calling, visual voicemail and '4G calling' (VoLTE). Do you use any of these extra features? Also, what's your experiences switching Sims? Do you find it easy to do?…

My 02 classic sim got this today. To be honest never noticed till i saw the wifi calling icon on my phone. I wonder if its a national roll out, or locally were 3g has been switched off. Anyone know?

RWG's new site has been up for a few days now and several of us have been having a few issues with a variety of things, so I thought it a good idea to start a new thread rather than have spurious comments spread over two other RWG threads. Logging in was my first problem. Although it obviously recognised my email address…

I have a recurring boost of 4GB for £6 a month. There is now a boost of 5GB for £5 a month. I don't see anything on their boost webpage about changing to another boost. Do they make it difficult to do this? What would be the best way to make the change without paying for two boosts at the same time? Also, when I started…

We've just returned from a 6-week trip from the Baltics/Finland. Plenty of time and opportunity to check roaming with the two SIMs in my wife's phone. Data was fine with both. We had a feeling that Spusu was quicker in getting a connect and also somewhat faster once connected. Both SIMs gave us a mix of LTE/5G and I…

What's the cheapest way for me to make calls from the UK to the US? The other end won't be on WhatsApp. I don't want to sign up to a plan or a subscription, just make a couple of long calls. [I have to phone Yahoo Mail about email issues, the call/s may go on a while. I don't want to be stung by the mobile phone bill]

Switched to Lebara in May 2026 and had nothing but months mistakes, double charges, wrong charges, wrong invoices, compounded errors and truly appalling 'customer service'. It's like they do it on purpose. Agents openly lie saying they'll send confirmation which never arrives or they can see the problem, will fix it but…

Suddenly this morning, when I tried to go into Firefox on my A26, I was met with a Samsung account page. I input my email, and had to do my password again as I'd forgotten it, but it was no use and I seem to be caught up with a load of Samsung nonsense that I don't seem to be able to get out of. So, in simple terms, how do…

Many Mobile Virtual Network Operators (those like CoOp Mobile, PlusNet, etc, which do not have their own infrastructure but use that of EE, Vodafone, Three, etc) do not support short code messages. What does this mean in practice? Is it a reason to stay away from these operators or would most people be reasonably…

Hi everyone, I was previously with Lebara and transferred my mobile number to Three. The number was transferred today. I want to switch back to Lebara because of a great deal I’ve already bought a new Lebara SIM, which I want to transfer my original number onto. However, when I tried requesting a PAC from Three by texting…

I have been on the EE 30 Day Essential Sim 5Gb for 2 or 3 years and had been paying £7.08 a month since the most recent price increase in April. I was moved to this plan after the closure of Plusnet mobile and had been happy. The amount of data was about right for me. Odd months I would run out and it would revert to "slow…

Hi I have a sim only 2 year contract that ends at the end of this year. Can they auto renew this without telling me? I might forget to cancel it but is it up to me to cancel or them to remind me?

I've got a Lebara sim and my 12 month initial offer has expired. To make use of their new deals and to keep my existing number, I take it I need to switch to another provider and port my number across and then port it back? Would switching to something like this for 30 days be okay and then re-joining Lebara work?

I have a nuance situation here. I noticed Voxi had the cheapest phone, but you have to pay £10 for a rolling 30 day contract. I also got £22.50 cashback initiated, but it says 8 weeks from top cashback, so that could track to zero. I have no intention of using the sim, and have not activated it. My questions is If the sim…

https://simpmobile.com/ £12 a month or £30 billed every 3 months for UK unlimited call and data plan on vodafone\three. They provide two esims one for calls and data for the UK\EU and a global one for data. The EU and global plans drop from 5G to 4G when the 5G plan allowance is used up. Global data esim seems to be like…

Wondering if anyone else has noticed this too, but i recently ported all my family from smarty to spusu. Since then, the amount of spam calls on all of the numbers is crazy. We get calls every day and are having to block them on all of the devices. Had sequential numbers call and random ones. But all are either ones that…

I joined Spusu a week ago, porting my existing number from Lycamobile. The port request took just1 day to complete, while I was using the temporary number texts were being received and sending ok. After the port, I wasn’t receiving texts from my wife on Lycamobile, I was also aware of missing a couple of messages I was…

I'm really frustrated that Sky Mobile don't seem to value their loyal customers and don't give them access to the same deals as new customers. I thought there was supposed to be a stop being put to all that. I've been looking at SIM plans, I'm out of contract and currently paying £14 10GB data, which is actually really…

Hi, earlier this year I took out a contract with Talkmobile via a link on this site that was supposed to give me an Amazon voucher after a few months and as yet some months after I was supposed to receive it I have not; has anyone else had this?

Just had the first experience of trying to sell a couple of mobile phones to two of the well-known online resellers. One organisation has a drop-off agreement with one of the well-known shoe repair chains. The phone is inspected at drop-off and the offered price verified. The payment is then supposed to be received via…
