Suggestions on best approach for two accounts?
I have a 2y contract with EE which expires in March. I will not be renewing it, as I've had another account with EE for several years (and was an Orange customer long before that). That contract I wish to hang on to as it still includes EU roaming, fastest speeds and unlimited calls/texts. However, the cost has risen…

Hi. I have been with Tesco mobile and before that talk talk mobile and now I am with ee mobile (sim onl;y deal). I have been told that I can not download an itemised monthly call log in my bill unless I pay EE £2.50 to itemise the bill. This can't be right can it?

31.25% April 2026 Price Increase from O2
Hi all, got an email last week from O2 about their annual price rise, which am sure many of you also had. Great wording (not) "From April 2026, your airtime plan will now be increasing by £2.50 instead of £1.80." Main point of this isn't about the £2.50 increase, it's the % it represents of 31.25%! Unsure of the fixed…

Tesco Mobile pay-as-you-go customer? Be prepared: it may push you to buy a bundle
Tesco Mobile is pushing its pay-as-you-go (PAYG) users to move to its new bundles. Failure to do so means paying for Tesco Mobile's standard PAYG rates, which it's hiked by up to 213%. If you're one of the 1.4 million users affected, it's worth looking at switching to a cheap monthly Sim instead – unless you just keep your…

Currently going round in circles with an O2 chat agent about cancelling my airtime plan. They keep saying I have to pay off my device plan in full as they're linked until February. I keep trying to tell them that this is not the case due to ofcom rules around the price increase but they don't seem to agree. Anyone else had…
