Talk Home's Penny Pro PAYG deal worked very well for me as an occasional phone user. Now out of the blue they have introduced a £5 every 30 days top up requirement, whether the phone is used or not (or just for a few minutes. This is not PAYG, you pay whether you go (call) or not. Furthermore, there is no way in a typical…

I am doing the 'port dance', and my current Lebara number should port…

Mozillion
Bought a phone contract through them last week. Delays in responding to chasers for the phone only to be finally told the sellers phone did not pass their 90 point diagnostic check?? The package was approx £750 for two years so assumed I was buying a new phone. Doesn't smell right to me so be wary of buying thru them.
