Vodafone and Three
Will Vodafones merger with Three positively affect my phone signal with Talkmobile - or the share only relevant to Vodafone and Three themselves and not virtual operators ? or will they just use this as an excuse to dispense with unwanted repetition of towers ? At present - at home Vodafone is the best of a worst bunch -…

MSE guide discussion - Piggybacking - need to keep your signal? You can still switch network
Hi all, Just starting a new thread as we've recently optimized our Piggybacking guide. Piggerbackers have come a long way, with some now offering 5G, Wi-Fi calling, visual voicemail and '4G calling' (VoLTE). Do you use any of these extra features?

Talk Home Mobile SIM - 1 GB or 2 GB data + Unlimited Minutes + Texts + EU roaming - £2.74 per month
My elderly mother is a VERY low (almost NOTHING) user - and now that "1p mobile" makes you top up £10 every 60 days (instead of 120 days) that equates to £5 per month Found a "Talk Home" offer here - you need to sort by "Total Cost" - https://www.moneysupermarket.com/mobile-phones/sim-only/?sortBy=TotalContractCost It…

Sim for elderly person help
I purchased my 85 year old mum a basic flip mobile Art Fone 6 years ago. Mum is not able to make phone calls so the use of the phone was basically for me to phone her and check up on her. At the time I purchased a tesco sim card for £99 pence and it was never topped up and worked for incoming phone calls. 1 week ago my…

Lebara Quey
Does Lebara still only use the Vodafone network? I seen that Vodafone and Three have merged and can use each others networks so does this apply to Lebara?

Pay-as-you-go options (not bundles)
Hello, can anyone tell me which providers offer a 'traditional' pay-as-you-go option that: -isn't a bundle nor a monthly deal, and -doesn't require regular top-ups? This is because it's for a phone which will very rarely be used (probably max 5 texts / short calls per year). It's fine if I need to keep the SIM active by,…

Switching
My mobile network is currently Lebara. I have seen better deals with Lebara but I am unsure if I can 'switch' to a new deal and keep my phone number. Am I right in saying that I would have to switch and port my current phone number to another provider, to then enable me to switch back to Lebara, again porting my number? I…

Explain IP addresses, please.
Just summat I noticed whilst doing lots of broadband speed tests recently. When it displays the result, it also shows the IP address, with a caption, "Hide IP address.", which I guess is an option. The thing is, the number shown is different every time I run a test on the same phone and same SIM. So presumably the IP…

Looking for a PAYG SIP calling package
I've dug out one of my old cell phones and would like to use it for SIP calling. Tried looking online for packages but it's a minefield. Comparison sites don't track SIP calling packages. I'm basically looking for a PAYG deal where perhaps I get so many free minutes a month and so many free texts. If I can choose my own…

Tesco Mobile "premium rate" text that isn't
I've been with Tesco Mobile for over 20 years and always been happy with them, but the current situation is ridiculous. I am on a Pay Monthly contract and calls and texts to 01, 02, 03 number are inclusive. I recently sent a text to a UK landline 01420 which is the dialling code for Alton in Hampshire. I was surprised to…
