Leaving O2 moving to Lebara
Hi, please can anyone advise. My contract with O2 finishes on the 6th October, do I have to wait until the 7th October to request and apply my PAC code to leave or can I do this today? My monthly payment to O2 is £4.79 which goes out of my bank around the 21st of the month. I just sent a message to 85075 and O2 have said…

Cheapest SIM only contract on the market? Sky SIM only 1gb for £1/month
I've been looking out for decent low data SIM only packages and found the Sky Mobile SIM only deal for £1/month for 12 months with unlimited texts and calls. It even comes in cheaper than Lyca, iD, Spusu and Lebara's best deals at the moment. You also get the MySky perks thrown in e.g. free Taste the Difference pizza from…

MSE ID Mobile Sim-only deal
I'm thinking of signing up for a SIM only pay-monthly deal through MSE for ID mobile. These have a data allowance included but nowhere on either website does it say that this is a data allowance per month. I have been told that it is by ID mobile but it seems strange to me that such a basic fact isn't made explicit…

MSE News: Don't be put off switching to a cheap piggyback mobile network
The secret to slashing mobile costs is switching to a piggyback provider, as they tend to be far cheaper than the four main networks. Many are worried they'll get a worse signal with a smaller firm – but new research reveals only subtle performance differences that generally WON'T be noticeable in everyday tasks, while the…

Samsung J5: refurb replacement options
I have a Samsung J5 2016 with a Tesco Mobile PAYG SIM. I use it for calls, texts and the occasional web browse via Wi-Fi. I really like the phone, it is indestructible, small and light. But I'm not sure it will support G4 -- I did not receive the Government warning message! My Settings say 2G/3G/LTE. No mention of 4G. ----…

TalkTalk ending International calls FROM UK in August '25
Just had email from TalkTalk re above. Is this correct? Without a landline, how would I call abroad? Went to their chatline who, after much discussion, said it was not the case. Can anyone confirm either way?

wifi switching on by itself
A number of times I have found that wifi has been turned on without my knowing. When I look at settings, it says: Wi-Fi doesn't turn back on automatically. Is it being turned on by Android, or the phone manufacturer (Motorola G24), to effect updates, and then not switching wifi off after doing the update?

Is it possible to dump Lebara just before reduction and sign up again later?
I am finally getting ready to dump Sky Mobile Lebarra seemed to be the best option but I have a question... If I take out a Lebara month to month contract with say 9 months at a reduced price and 3 months at a higher price, can I switch away in month 8 to Spasu for a month and then sign up with Lebara again on the same…

Mis-selling phones on Amazon
So, following my bad experience buying a Samsung phone intended for the UAE from an Amazon listing specifying a UK spec model, I decided to ask a different seller about a different phone. As you can see from the conversation below, they were quite happy to admit they are mis-selling an "international model" as UK spec, but…

Lebara 90 days of inactivity
I don't use the phone so much, and could possibly go 90 days without making a call/sms/data Do Lebara notify before they take the credit balance? I know they sent me an email telling me about the 90 day thing, but that was only about a month after the last chargeable activity and didnt actually say when the 90 days would…

Anyone know a working email address to leave / cancel BT via email avoiding phone call. The following digital-resolutionteam@bt.com just bounces back and no longer exists, tried a bunch of others all bouncing back. Does BT really not have any email address that one can contact them on. ?

Avoid Lebara
I purchased a Lebara sim five weeks ago having seen it recommended on this site. I ported in my number from three immediately and have not been able to receive calls or texts other than from anyone on a Vodafone network which Lebara uses since then. I am able to make calls and access internet. I phone customer services…

Onecom Vodafone weirdness
Hi there, I can see lots of threads about onecome and Vodafone but so far nothing like my query. I have been a vodafone customer for about 23 years, originally PAYG and more recently on cheap and cheerful some only deals. I recently noticed no payment had been taken, checked my direct debit, still active but when logging…

VOXI - Buying a handset
VOXI seem to have a very good deal on the new Pixel 10 and I was considering it, but there isnt much info on the site, such as delivery times etc. Can anyone say they have bought a phone from there and it was all good? How long did delivery take?

SMARTY not so smart customer service
SMARTY offer a great value (hence your rating them in top PAYG). But perhaps their popularity has affected their ability to respond quickly to customer issues. Whilst COVID has affected response times everywhere, the limitations of only having an online customer service portal become obvious. You firstly have to tackle…

O2 puffl50 sim cut off by O2
I am in dispute with O2 over the fact they cut off my sim without warning and say they cannot reconnect it, even with a new number. I had gone to the ombudsman, but O2 will not agree to their proposal which is to reconnect. O2 have admitted through their own dispute resolution process that an error was made, but after…
