Tesco mobile shutting down 2g
A duck duck smart search on the internet now tells me Tesco mobile will stop both 2g and 3g by the end of this year. This smart search uses AI to scan all relevant data to try and make some sense of the 2g confusion out there at the moment. My Samsung 2g is already playing up. Tesco says it is a dodgy SIM connection. I…

Lebara sim swap fraud
Hello all I’ve had sim swap fraud occur on my Lebara phone number which I’m not longer able to access. I spent 4 hours with 3 different people this evening trying to get Lebara to do something about it. The first two brushed it off as an issue with my phone and nothing to do with them.

I ported my number across to Spusu from Lebara as Lebara uses the Vodafone network and the 5g coverage is almost non existent.

My partner received a PAC code yesterday out of the blue. Alarm bells started as all the reasons that you look for this happening suggest it's part of "sim swap fraud" so whilst trying to contact RWG, a pointless exercise it seems, she went around changing all her passwords and 2FA contact number. The PAC code wasn't just…

Currently on 1p Mobile mainly because it uses EE and has Wifi Calling, but just found Spusu deal at £2.90 a month, which means I save £2.10 a month, not much but better than nothing if otherwise the same as 1p. Does it come with Wifi Calling and any negatives compared to 1p Mobile ?

Anyone had any luck haggling O2 on their SIM-only deal?
Just spoke to O2 as they have raised my charges £13.10/month for 20GB/month (unlimited texts/calls). Technically it's 40GB/month because of my Virgin Media package. Tesco Mobile have their £12.50/month (with clubcard) offer which offers the same package but 60GB/month. O2 said Tesco's offer was a "fantastic deal" (there…

Lebara - Best way of getting back onto a MSE deal?
Hello, I've been with Lebara quite a while, and I'm now on their standard pricing. MSE tells me they're doing cheaper packages for new customers.
