Volte phone not calling if bought separate to contract
Hi in a previous thread I discovered my phone does not have Volte so I looked into newer phones with Volte. There are lots which is good. I have found posts on forums where phones bought separate to a contract do not work on Volte. So these are phones where Volte is actually switched on but no call can be made. Some posts…

Help! Made mistake of moving to Lyca Mobile, now got account issues and no way to contact them..
So stupidly I transferred my O2 SIM to LycaMobile as they seemed to have better coverage where I am and still offered free roaming. I initially got a PAYG Lyca SIM to check coverage it was good, so I ported my O2 number in and then transferred my Lyca SIM to a Pay Monthly account - £13 a month for 100GB, for 24 months. All…

e-sim for AbuDhabi
I am new to e-sims and find the whole thing rather daunting (but I am sure it is easy). Does anyone any experience? It is needed for longer periods of time, so a paid plan is fine, as long as it works, allows to get in touch the UK and to stream (is there Netflix or similar in Abu Dhabi?)

Is it worth a sim and phone package?
Can I either save money on an £1100 iPhone 16 512gb – or a £13 sim only deal – by combining them onto a single contract? Here’s the context – I have an EE sim only deal today which for £13 gives me 25gb, 5G, and unlimited calls and texts. I bought an iPhone 14 512gb outright when they first came out. I now want an iPhone…

Number not porting to three network?
My port from lebara to three hasn’t gone through, so the next day so I contacted three in the evening to be told there's no record of a port request and they'd request the port again only to say there was an issue doing so and will look into this?

Ending contract, fees, how do I argue back? (Three mobile)
Hi I have 3 months left of my contract with Three. I want to end it. The contract is only for calls so nothing for the device. Breaking the contract incurs a fee and I have an estimate of the amount which is high but I understand why. I am leaving because I cannot get local reception as Three have stopped the local 3G…

Are Virtual Mobile phone Networks 'second-class citizens?'
It has been suggested to me that anyone buying Sim-only deals from any of the various virtual phone networks are actually given a second-class service by the network and therefore they will have lower performance and reliability than customers directly with EE, O2, Vodafone or Three. Is this actually true? I note that in…

Mobile recycling - any that are not a complete con?
My mobile is pretty much in excellent condition. Two companies I've had this with now. Exactly the same..... 1. Offer a high price and you send phone off. 2. Come back with a 50% offer saying there are large scratches on screen. 3. I refuse and they offer £10 more. 4. I refuse again and they offer another £10. 5. I refuse…

Reclaiming money from three
I recently noticed a direct debit to "H3G" being paid from my account. I realised it was to 3 mobile who I used to have an account with. I've no idea why I didn't notice it before. I think I thought it was for something else. Three have admitted that my account was cancelled in June 2019. The payments coming from my…
