I spoke with customer services and she said I needed to buy another eSim for new phone and then somehow transfer old to new? Considering I have credit on the old esim and a deal which i bought literally 2 weeks ago this seems…

Ethical Dilemma
Ethically the promoting of Lebara Sim Only Deals on the MSE website for me is a questionable practice I have seen Mr Lewis criticising the government for not helping vulnerable members of society. Yet your the site is promoting various deals provided by a company that is evading VAT in the uk I believe the government have…

EE mobile account access fault (Unresolved)
I moved over to EE from Plusnet a couple of months ago (sim only). In that time, I've never been able to access my EE account, despite numerous communications with EE support and an escalation to the 'specialist technical team'. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has had this problem or experienced EE's inability to…

Tesco Mobile won't let me pay the bill!
Bizarre situation. I opened an account with Lebara, then moved my Tesco Mobile number to Lebara, using the Ofcom system where you get a PAC code from original supplier and pass it to new supplier. All fine, but the moment my SIM card with Lebara went live (and Tesco SIM stopped working), I noticed that my online Tesco…

EE Overselling Contract Issue
Hi all, An elderly family member has been oversold a mobile phone contract which is due to expire in 7 months time. I would estimate they use 5GB of data per month but they were up-sold a contract in the store for 164GB!! They do not understand data allowances or requirements so as a long term EE customer, relied on EE to…

Second pay as you go esim
Due to all the 3g networks being switched off in my area (and no 5g plans in place to replace it), I now have lots of network drop outs, where areas have no coverage whatsoever (where it used to fall back to 3g). As a result, I am thinking of getting a second SIM on a different network. What I am hoping someone sells, and…

Lebara T&Cs, roaming
We have a couple Lebara SIMs in the family and I was asked about the roaming conditions. So I went to the Lebara website (https://www.lebara.co.uk/en/terms-and-conditions.html ) and checked all files linked there. There are a few paragraphs/conditions dealing with roaming which I read but nothing about any restrictions re…

Can I buy a new locked phone, unlock and cancel network contract directly?
Hi, I'd appreciate advice about whether it's permitted to buy a locked phone and then immediately unlock it, cancel the network contract and put in my own sim that is on a contract? The phone I have in mind is this from giff gaff: https://www.giffgaff.com/mobile-phones/apple/iphone-se-2020/new I am thinking to choose the…

comparing phone sim plans
I'm currently using Giff Gaff which is great for convenience as I can cancel anytime but the signal is rubbish. Is it worth going with EE or vodafone? Think with Vodafone you can do either a 30 day rolling or 12 months on the talkmobile network- 2Gb data one on 30 days is £5.95. Is it easy to use like Giff Gaff? 30Gb data…

O2's miserable Customer Service & Fake Rolling Plans lure new customers to Contract Plans..??
I am in the process to move away from Lyca after my terrible porting experience with them recently. Luckily (or unluckily) I found a brilliant Black Friday deal with a O2 Rolling Plan. Orders sim after seeing promotion in Facebook. 3 days later received sim from O2 also clearly says rolling Plan offered in the letter I…

Help welcome: wrong number displaying with texts
Switched from Vodafone to ID mobile 6 weeks ago. Number swap via PAC all went smoothly and all has been fine ever since until this week when texts sent appeared on receiving phone as being sent via the temporary number used only for a day or two whilst the number swap happened. Calls and Whatsapp display the right number.…

Scam "EE" text
I've just had a scam text from "EE" saying my payment had failed to process. As usual, never click/tap on a link in a text or email! (I thought it might be more focused to post this in the mobiles thread than in general warnings.)
