Breach of contract?
I recently undertook an upgrade on my phone. There was no early upgrade fee. However, I had to pay £160 for the new handset on the plan. I timed it, so the bill ended on the end of the current pay period for that month. The company didn't take the last direct debit from my account and took the monthly bill from the £160…

I have narrowed it down to: * Co-op mobile:…

No contract sims ?

Has ASDA (and others) stopped auto top-up on PAYG?
I was just updating my card details online at the ASDA portal and I can't find anywhere that talks about auto top-up, where you top up (in my case) £5 when balance drops below £1. I can autorenew packs, but that's no good for me, I'm topping up max. every 2mths and the cheapest is £4/mth (calls and texts only). Does anyone…
