SIM Only fixed amount increases
O2 are increasing both my SIM only contracts by a fixed £1.80 next year, a 33% and 26% increase for each - way bigger than under the old RPI + 3.9% I believe this will apply to all contracts (so much higher payers will get much smaller % increases) and similar fixed amount increases have been announced by other networks.…

Parents on 3G Tesco PAYG. Advice needed
My elderly parents are both on Tesco PAYG and have been for over 10 years. My mum might top up £20 per year and my dad about £10 per year. They don’t use their phones much mainly to make calls to me and to use in emergency. 3G is getting turned off and now I have to look for a decent plan each (maybe a family plan) and 4g…

Why does texting 65075 for PAC incur a charge?
O2 informed me today that my price will increase substantially for my SIM only monthly contract. I found a cheaper price on this site and I wish to keep my number. I've not done this for a very long time so I am unsure of the process. Apparently I text PAC to 65075 for a code. When I began to do this in my phone, it warned…

EE and 1pMobile
Hi there I wonder if anyone might be able to offer me some advice/insight. I am currently with EE. Last month I was caught in a pinch for data and the purchase of additional meant (to my mind) very unreasonable costs. This caused me to shop around. My understanding is that 1pMobile offer a package (calls texts and 25GB -…

PAYG Sim with longest expiry
Having run out of data for the first time ever the other day and being in the middle of nowhere, about 200 miles from home, of course Waze wouldn't work. I do keep a spare phone in the car but naturally I'd forgotten to top up/use it within the last three months and mobile data wouldn't work. I've upgraded my data plan on…

O2 Classic PAYG
Has anyone else had their account disconnected? I've had this sim for years as a second sim. It's topped up and I've used it for a couple of texts in the last month. Over the weekend it stopped working and I find that I'm locked out of my O2 app on the phone and also via my browser. The browser sends a 2FA code to the non…

Help confirming Saily eSIM is set up
I’m a massive technophobe, so please bear with me. I’ve installed a Saily eSIM for my holiday and went through the activation process and it shows as ‘active’ in the Saily app. Checked my Vodafone app and I was charged £7.39 for a days data yesterday (landed on holiday yesterday). I set the eSIM as ‘primary’ as told to…

EU Roaming, Lebara vs RWG
Just a data point for those interested in EU roaming. I've spent 2 months in France, Spain and Italy with a dual SIM phone, one Lebara, one RWG SIM. The good news is that basically both worked well in all locations I used them. However, there were some interesting differences. The RWG SIM was using 5G most of the time,…

Can I really unlock my phone for free ?
You may laugh but I have an Alcatel Pixi 4 phone because I hardly ever use it and only keep it because I have to get some texts occasionally and for emergency use, it's worth zero so can I unlock the network for free or else it would be cheaper to just get another phone.

Redundant 3G phones
3G has already been switched off by my phone company in my area without prior warning leaving me with no means of contacting anyone in an emergency except on my landline. (It's pretty scary to think that soon we won't have a landline either when they are phased out). I thought my mobile was 4G compatible which is being…

We went through the change process which all went well. My son received a text stating that he has a balance of £39.49 and to claim it back. Well we…

WiFi calling on Lebara?
I switched to Lebara (from GiffGaff) because I have moved house and there is no coverage where I am now. Lebara advertises support for WiFi calling on my Iphone 8 which fixes that, or should do. GifgGaff do now support WiFi calling apparently but not on my phone. New Sim £1.20, new phone £500 - not a difficult choice.…

idMobile not honouring 30-day cooling off period...
Hello to anyone reading this. I joined idMobile for a a2- month contract with an e-SIM in February this year - 2024 - and after some problems in the first couple of weeks I decided to leave. It was for less than £7/month, first month paid in advance. Their 'customer services' was very hard to get hold of or talk to as…
