Hello. I have a dual sim phone with a single sim card in at present (Three contract sim only) . I would like a second sim for occasional use only that is as cheap to use as possible. The main reason for wanting it is that am sometimes asked to give persons my mobile number, and do not always want to give out to some people…

3 PAYG Sim
I have an old iPhone 4s which has a 3 payg sim in. It was used as back up phone so I went on periodically to make a call or send a text to keep the line active. I have received an email today telling me to use some credit before 5th March to keep the plan and number. I have tried to do this but just receive a “no service”…

I'm an existing customer and it seems I've still got the…

Samsung Galaxy 20e trying to back up my calendar
I'm still trying to get my head around new technology and it's challenging to say the least. I use the calendar on my phone for everything (mainly reminders!) and a friend mentioned that I should definitely back the entries up as I've not got the appoinments noted down anywhere else. I seemed to have managed to get a…

Looking for a cheap sim with minimum top up to use for just one verify text (yes really!)
Ok, I'll explain myself. I've been using Facebook Marketplace for a number of years, no issues. Recently I tried to post on ad to sell a desk, I was asked to confirm my identity. This process asked to use my phone number, presumably to send me a code. Lo and behold, an error message: "The phone number that you're trying to…

Vodafone mandatory add on Secure Net
Hi, I just realised my SIM only contract ran out a long while back and I am on a very poor value plan. I chose an upgrade plan but notice that every plan includes something called Secure Net which comes as a three month trial which you then have to cancel or it carries on for a monthly fee. There is no option to proceed…

Sky Mobile price rise - conflicting information
I have had a contract with Sky Mobile where I pay £10pcm since July 2022. I received an email in January saying that in February it will increase to £12.50pcm. I have called Customer Services twice, and both times have been told that the cost will definitely not be increasing, despite receiving two emails saying it will,…

Options for northern cyprus, have to receive calls
Hello I am currently with iD mobile and northern cyprus isn't included on the roaming. I need to be able to receive time sensitive phone calls whilst I am there. My phone isn't compatible with e sim. My question is if I buy a data add on is there a way for me to receive the calls only via data? The phonecalls are from a…

Cheapest way to transfer out and back in Lebara
A friend came to visit recently and decided to be helpful and buy a sim card for them. I clicked the wrong button and bought a 1 year £5 plan instead of the montly plan :neutral: . This was about 3 weeks ago so I'm outside the 14 day cooldown period. I have a monthly plan with Lebara so I was thinking to port out my number…

Mobile phone lifetime
I've just bought my second ever mobile phone and was dismayed to find it has security updates for only two years.I had two thoughts about this: 1 In terms of value for money, a more expensive phone may be better.For example, phone A costs £200 and has updates for two years.Phone B costs £270 and has updates for three…

Lebara - monthly or 4 weekly payments
I have noticed that the date of my monthly payments for my Lebara monthly contract seems to have changed to payments taken out every 4 weeks. I contacted Lebara who said I am on monthly payments. Unfortunately I have changed payment methods a couple of times when changing bank accounts etc, so don’t have the ‘proof’ needed…

Best Sim only for US Roaming
I currently have an EE Sim Only deal, £7 a month which include 30GB data, but no roaming. I holiday in the EU once or twice a year, and this year we are going to the USA for 20 days. If I stay with EE and want to use my phone in the US, it will cost £25 per week (£75). I think if I want to use it in the EU, it's £15 a…

SIM advice
Using this site, I bought 2 SIM only plans with a 30 day expiry with Lebara. The 2 SIM's cost me 70p for the first month. I bought them on the last day of the deal 16/1/25. My current provider EE says my contract expires on 17/2/25 and therefore I can't transfer before without incurring early exit fees. Can I insert these…

O2 Classic 123 (activated in Nov 22) deactivated after no regular top up
Posting as an FYI, as O2 Classic 123 SIM cards are (or possibly now were) often recommended as an option for very low usage mobiles. Although they haven't been available from O2 for quite a while, a number of third party market place resellers sell these. Previously the credit didn't expire, so one £10 top could last…

Outage for Three network
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpdx1l755wdo My SMARTY SIM has been unable to make or receive calls today, texts appear to be working only intermittently as is WhatsApp. On the plus side internet access seems to be OK still, which is good as I use Three mobile broadband. Luckily I have a spare phone with a Lebara…

Cancelling within 14 days
I took a 12 month contract with Sky mobile and discovered they don't support VoLTE and wifi calling on my Pixel phone. The call centre sent the query back to the porting team, and I'm worried the 14 days will be gone before they respond. I can't make calls over 3G because the calls keep dropping. Did the 14 days begin when…

iD Mobile Deal Not Worth the Hassle
I have been trying to get the iD mobile 50GB SIM only deal sorted for about 6 days now. Initially it seemed to be quite attractive taking into account the £40 voucher for Amazon or Curry's. The first time I tried the voucher deal didn't go through so I got in touch with iD and canelled the contract. Then I tried again the…

I got a call from onecom a few days ago and they have offered me a 3 year contract with unlimited everything, on the vodafone network at £40 a month total cost.

Is this deceitful from BT
When I log in to my BT account and go to my mobile plane it tells me the following: Plan name: BT MOBILE 100GB SIM PLAN Contract: 18 months. Cost: £28.18 per month. When your contract ends: Currently not available. I am NOT in contract.... so why do they put 18 months in there... they should state ENDED. Why are they…
