Tesco Mobile - 3G shutoff and 4G (LTE) phones are still compatible
I have a question regarding the 3G shutdown and Tesco Mobile.
I have a Samsung Galaxy A10 Phone (purchased through TM). I went to the Tesco Mobile website page
support.tescomobile.com/customer/voltecalling just to double check whether my
phone will still be compatible with the TM network when the 3G signal is
shutdown. On…

Spusu and EU roaming
I've recently activated my Spusu SIM and most things work as expected. One thing that's not clear is what they mean when they talk about EU roaming. I've now talked twice to their CS and they don't seem to know more about that I do. They gave conflicting information and they gave me prices that I can't find in their price…

Victim of Impersonation... O2 / Lowell say otherwise....

VOLTE and wifi calling on 1pmobile
I am currently with EE and wifi calling and VOLTE work well on my quite old Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro. EE have increased my bill so I want to leave and move somewhere cheaper.

Any suggestions for an alternative cash PAYG provider? Looks like Tesco mobile who I am currently with are changing their PAYG package to monthly chargable contract.

Suddenly no signal. Can I get out of contract?
I joined ID mobile in July. At my workplace I had good service and no problems. At the end of November 3G in this area was removed. Since that time I have had no network on my phone at all. I just have the satellite sign. The coverage checker suggests that I have 4G/5G in this area, but about a mile before my place of work…

Text calls to landline via Lebara
My friends landline rang 3 times last night after I sent a text to her at 21:13. The calls were at 21:13, 21:43 and 22:44. Unfortunately, I accidentally sent the single text to her landline rather than her mobile by mistake, and she was ill in bed at that time so didn't answer. Would this trigger off multiple calls like…

Warning on Lebara SIM-only deals and being overcharged
I ordered a number of SIMs from Lebara that were available on the MSE website this morning (10GB and 50GB MSE Exclusive) but was charged the full amounts instead of the discounted amounts for the initial months. When I asked Lebara why I was told there was a technical issue and that they could cancel the orders and issue a…

O2 Classic 123 (activated in Nov 22) deactivated after no regular top up
Posting as an FYI, as O2 Classic 123 SIM cards are (or possibly now were) often recommended as an option for very low usage mobiles. Although they haven't been available from O2 for quite a while, a number of third party market place resellers sell these. Previously the credit didn't expire, so one £10 top could last…

Motorola edge 70 promotion Bundle
On 22/12/25 I bought a Motorola Edge 70 as part of 2 year contract with I.D mobile. A lot of what attracted me to the deal was the bundle that you needed to claim after a 15 day cooling of period. The bundle was said to be worth £ 278 included a charger, smart watch, ear buds & tracker offered by Motorola. After the…

Signal booster
The signal to inside my house is abysmal since 3G was switched off. The house is at the base of a 60m high ridge and the nearest mast is on top of the ridge, about a mile away. I have to walk into the garden about 20metres to get a decent signal, so the ridge does not impede the signal. Signal boosters are advisable to…

Blocking voice mail from a single number
Hello, I've had to block someone's numbers (landline and mobile) but continue to receive voice mails from them. Is it true I can't stop the voice mails for this one number unless I discontinue to accept voice mails from everyone? i use voice mail to deter spam callers, so this isn't an option. Thanks in advance.
