Why is it so expensive to keep your number with Sky Mobile?
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…

EU-Roaming with Mozillion and Spusu
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…

Selling Your Mobile To Online Resellers
Just had the first experience of trying to sell a couple of mobile phones to two of the well-known online resellers.

The payment is then supposed to be received via…

Spam calls since transferring 7 numbers
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…

O2 mobile PAYG registered to wrong email account
A few years ago OH ran his own business and had his mobile on an O2 business contract with his business email address. When he no longer had the business, it was difficult for him to transfer the number to an account in his own name, and the only option they could give him at the time was to take a PAYG contract with O2,…

Same provider upgrade keeping same number
Hi, I have a Lebara SIM only deal that I've got at MSE a few years ago. I now want to get a deal with more data, but also from Lebara. How can I do this and keep the same number? My understanding is that you cannot transfer the number within the same provider. Any ideas?

Talk Home Mobile - Poor Customer Service
When porting a mobile number from EE to Talk Home Mobile a problem occurred and customer support was awful. Errors occasionally occur but how a company deals with the issue is key and in this case Talk Home Mobile did poorly. Initial contact with customer support was made over the phone but agents were not helpful and…

Lebara - What counts as a new customer?
Hello, I am looking to move from Virgin to Lebara, for 2 reasons: 1. The greed in their price hike and I am days away from the end of my 12 month contract. 2. I want to stay with Vodafone network.

RWG's New Website, Plans and new Charges
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…

Voxi mobile, pay monthly (non contract), will I get charged if sim not activated?
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…
