Three PAYG MBB Data Packs on what was a Data Reward SIM.
When Three stopped the Data Reward without notifying me of the changes, my complaint got me some decent credit and a 12m Data pack, the latter ran out last December. I only need to use Data on it very periodically, but when I do it's often larger amounts. Since the days of Data Reward, the Data Packs on Standard PAYG have…

Data in Europe
Any good deals for data use in Europe? I intend doing 4-6 week trips in Europe, mainly Spain / France, with a caravan, but getting decent amounts of data is a pain. Our mobiles are on Vodafone, which on the roaming package limits us to 25GB. We have a 4g router using Smarty which limits us to 12GB. They give an additional…

Sim help!
Help! I have just changed my sim from one network to another and the new provider has changed my telephone number even though I asked to keep old one. They said "We issue each and every contract a new system generated number. The port in takes 24 hours to complete depending on the date you select. You will retain the…

Why can I now only send texts by 'RCS'?
My Motorola g32 has now decided to restrict my use of SMS. I have had to read up on this, and one aspect is that it apparently only uses data. However, switching off mobile data and re-launching the messaging app doesn't restore SMS. I have now stopped texting people and am resorting to email because I have no idea if they…

SPUSU - WARNING!
I ported my number across to Spusu from Lebara as Lebara uses the Vodafone network and the 5g coverage is almost non existent. Seeing as Spusu run on EE, which I've never had a problem with in all the years I've used MVNOs, I thought it was a good move. How wrong I could be! Porting was smooth, no issues. The problem began…

Are new Sky Mobile SIM only contracts subject to an annual price rise?
Looking for SIM only options that use the O2 network and am trying to clarify whether Sky Mobile increase their price annually during a new contract. I know with other providers you either are shown a fixed price with no price rise (e.g. Lebara) or as per the new Ofcom regulations, get shown a contract price with set price…

Mobile number spoofing
Scammers used to spoof UK landline numbers, now they use mobile numbers in an attempt to fool people, although I doubt many will be fooled by “bank security” calling from what looks like a mobile number (had that more than once). On two occasions I have had a call from a stranger returning a missed call that I didn’t…

Tesco Mobile
I am on a £10 rocket pack since 2022. Each month I get a text message to tell me the Rocket Pack is going to renew and I get debited £10. Last week I was in the ALPS, and perhaps outside the network area when the renewal took place. So the renewal did not take place. Instead i used up the £10 of Top Up that I had for calls…

Anyone still doing proper "traditional" PAYG?
I hate phones, and am very close to being a zero-use mobile user; i have an old dumb phone that gets used for almost nothing other than (pretty frequent) incoming "two-factor authentication" texts from banks, paypal, etc. It's the equivalent, i guess, of the emergency phone you might keep in the glove compartment of the…
