New sim contract before Apr 1st (price rise)
My partner is going for a new sim-only deal with o2, which is a lot cheaper than she's currently paying with them. I assume if she took out the new contract now, she'd be hit by the April price hike which is a £1.80 increase on the £10 p/m contract. I don't know if historically deals change after the April 1st increase -…

Motorola G13 - calls going to voicemail
Hi all. I bought a G13 in April last year, and am on Spusu SIM/network. Over the last few months, more and more of my calls have gone straight to voicemail (the phone doesn't ring at all). Spusu tell me that their network (EE) doesn't support the G13 for volte/WiFi calling on 4g although apparently my phone is 4g…

Charges for connecting to "maritime" networks without consent - how do they get away with this?
Recently whilst on a ferry from the UK to Ireland I received a data roaming charge, which turned out to be due to my phone connecting to a maritime satellite network whilst at sea. I had my data roaming turned on, because I was on the way to Ireland. Luckily it was capped at £10 because I have a spending cap on my account…

Spusu - calling EU from the UK?
I just saw a mention of the MVNO “Spusu”. In addition to EU roaming they also appear to include free calls from the UK to EU countries, something not seen elsewhere. Anyone using them care to elaborate as details on their site seem a bit sketchy. Thanks

Long Term Issue with Tesco and EE Blaming each other
Some years ago I had a issue where when someone on the EE network tried phoning or texting me, they couldn't get through, and vice versa. They would get 'message failed to send' or 'This number has not been recognised/can't be reached' or similar. At the time it was really important as my deafblind friend uses a Brailler…

1pMobile - Minimum Use Policy / Roaming Surcharge / Better Alternative?
Hello. I understand that with 1pMobile there is nowadays a minimum spend of £10 per 60-day period (calls/data/sms). Probably a dumb question but just checking: the previous £10 minimum top-up per 90 days is not a thing anymore, right? Secondly, I found on previous lengthy jaunts to France that there was an annoying £1…

New contract, bad battery?
I have just started a new mobile contract. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy A35. When it arrived without a charger, I used my Huawei 10w charger as it fit and the instructions said that a charger between 10-25w would be ok. It then took 3 hours to charge from 30% to 100%. I thought maybe because it's new and its the first…
