Advice for potential phone fraud
Back in February, my Pixel phone fell out of my pocket while I was cycling and was seemingly quite quickly taken and turned off by a passer by. I disabled everything I could with Find My Device and contacted my network, O2, to let them know and to get a new phone and sim. I logged out of all devices remotely on any…

Vodafone changing contact
I am on a SIM only rolling monthly contract with Vodafone, which I've been on for donkeys years. Each year it goes up by inflation, which normally means a a about 30p or so. I've got an email from them saying they're changing me to a contract that goes up by £1.80 per year. I put this down to an incompetent regulator who…

Buying extra data from a third party source
I'm not techie and this is probably a really daft question and I don't know even how to phrase it, so please stick with me. Short version of story (longer story at end) I am likely to run out of my included data at some point and wondered if there was a way of buying extra on a one off basis as needed. I am with Vodafone…

My RWG sim only makes calls when it feels like it
I have an old RWG sim which I keep around as a spare, and occasionally I ring my landline to keep it alive. I find on the first few attempts the dial out immediately fails, but on the 6th or 7th attempt it decides to ring out. The sim has a good signal, and there's another sim in the phone which always connects on the…

PAYG options?
Any suggestions for true PAYG options as opposed to the contracts and bundles that seem to be dominant now? I used to use 1P mobile which was fine until they started reducing the period in which you had to top up. When it got to £10 every two months that was pouring money down the drain as I'm a very light mobile user. I'm…

MSE Lebara Deal, is a Spend Cap in place automatically, and any Auto Top up already off?
There are some excellent MSE Lebara deals on the comparison page. If one chooses a plan that has a data limit (e.g. Unlimited mins, unlimited texts and 100GB plan), then will the maximum you spend per month purely be the offer monthly price (in this case £1.10) for the offer period (in this case 7 months)? Is a spend…

RWG - Communications Ombudsman
Like a lot of others, I am having problems with RWG. I only joined them a little under two weeks ago and have been completely unable to send or receive calls or texts in that time.

Smart watch cellular Plan (with phone sim switch)
Hello, I have a Lebara sim only monthly contract but I'm planning on getting an Apple Watch. I know some networks only allow you to get the watch through them on a contract. This seems to be a more expensive option, so I'm looking to purchase my Apple Watch separately. Am I right that only Vodafone seems to allow this out…
