Best time to switch provider to avoid wasting money on unused days?
I want to switch from my current monthly SIM contract to a cheaper provider (Lebara). My contract expires at the end of the month. To avoid wasting days I've already paid for, I'd like to switch as late as possible into the month. So my questions are: 1. When should I buy the Lebara SIM? Does the contract start as soon as…

Swapping SIM cards
I am shortly going to replace my existing O2 Classic PAYG sim with a giffgaff and transfer the number over. I guess that will leave the O2 sim "numberless".I was then hoping to put the O2 sim into my backup mobile but how do I get a number assigned to it?

So I am planning to get a second bundle with the data allowance I need... but the RWG website seems to say that bundles do run from the…

What's happened to ToggleMobile?
Anyone know anything about what has happened to Toggle Mobile? Their website has gone down and their phone top-up system has closed. No social media either. The SIMs appear to be still working but as it is primarily a travel SIM many users are currently overseas and unable to add credit. They are owned by Lycamobile but no…

Vodaphone overcharging 85yr old after contact ended
Advice on tactics talking to vodaphone. My elderly mother took out a 2yr iPhone contact with vodaphone in 2018 for £30 p.m. She just called to say they increased it to £40 per month.

Elsewhere, in similar situations, I have found email address for places like 'Director's Office' or similar, and such emails/complaints get dealt with very quickly.

Hi there, I have a whole collection of old iphones from my partner and I that I have been holding onto for one reason or another.

Porting away from Asda
I'm helping someone who's blind with porting his number. He was unable to forward the text and we couldn't quite hear when his phone read it out. I think the PAC is ASN******. Anyone who's ported recently, please tell me if this sounds correct.

More trouble with Lebara (or more probably Vodafone)
We have a Lebara SIM and till end of June or so this worked... coverage wasn't great but we normally got through (this is calls only). Since about two weeks though we can't get service. Very occasionally, when upstairs near a window, we do get a connection, but this breaks off quickly. Outdoors, either side of the house,…

Rwgmobile are appalling, recommendations for sporadic payg but mostly for mobile data?
Looking at the trustpilot score for them it seems others are finding the same. I got one or two replies from rwgmobile now they seem to have dried up completely on the customer service front. I wanted a refund for an error I made on checkout where I put in the wrong number by one digit. I have been trying for over a month…

Recently sent a bulk text to some volunteers within my church group. Not long after I received a message to say I had exceeded the number of daily text messages. Fair enough, didn’t realise that was a thing. However I have received a text telling me my number will be disconnected due to breaching Asda mobile T&C’s. And to…
