Best provider for making calls to Jersey
My 86-year-old Mum likes to call a friend in Jersey now and again. She uses a 'thick' phone as she doesn't understand how to use apps and the like. She doesn't even know how to text, bless her. Like many others it seems, O2 class calls to Jersey as 'International' and sting her for 55p per minute. Outrageous if you ask me.…

I timed it, so the bill ended on the end of the current pay period for that month. The company didn't take the last direct debit from my account and took the monthly bill from the £160…

No contract sims ?
Is there a sim that I can use on my backup phone that I hardly ever use that the credit doesn't expire ? I was surprised that last time I went to use it I found the provider had " stolen" all my credit , I'm not tech savvy so assumed my credit was mine, which used to be the case.

Switching to RWG mobile?
Due to uncertainties with 1p mobile, I was thinking of moving to RWG. I looked for previous posts, and saw complaints about not receiving the sim, and poor customer service. I had a look on TrustPilot, and the reviews were mixed, many happy but also many very unhappy. I'm a very low usage customer, but would rely on…

Has ASDA (and others) stopped auto top-up on PAYG?
I was just updating my card details online at the ASDA portal and I can't find anywhere that talks about auto top-up, where you top up (in my case) £5 when balance drops below £1. I can autorenew packs, but that's no good for me, I'm topping up max. every 2mths and the cheapest is £4/mth (calls and texts only). Does anyone…
