No 4g on newer Samsungs
On a voxi sim only deal. I have used the sim for a few years in refurbished phones to keep the cost down. I've gone from Samsung S8 to S10 to Pixel 5 with no issues at all. Thought I'd move to a Samsung S21 but no matter what I tried, I could not get 4g... just stuck on really slow "H" status. Checked APN settings many…

Plusnet to EE £6 Deal. Did you switch and have they both taken money?
Switched from Plusnet to EE recently and Plusnet took their £6 as usual. I expected that with the 28/30 day notice period so may expect a small refund on that because the billing/leaving date is not a full month. But EE have already taken money also, do they take money on a set date no matter when the transfer happened?…

What does this Plusnet email mean?
Could someone please help me understand this? Does it mean I won’t be able to make calls from January? I can’t understand why they’re switching off 3G but keeping 2G. Also when it says ‘you won’t be able to use the internet during a call’, why would anyone want to use the internet while they’re talking on the phone? I must…

Are small MVNO companies too high risk? (eg Lyca, Vectone etc)
Vectone and Lyca both seem to have caused headaches for their customers recently. Given how important a mobile number can be - not just to be contactable but for 2FA etc - should using a super cheap SIM be a potential concern, given the headache that the loss of a phone number can be? I had over a decade of great service…

Chargie battery manager for mobiles
Somebody on another forum I frequent, recently bought a Chargie. This is a dongle that goes between your mobile and the charger and manages the charge level, so it can limit your phone to a particular charge and/or delay charging to full. The idea behind the delay function is that phones left on charge overnight aren't on…

Data for 3 days in USA? e-sim? Airalo?
I'm going on a cruise in a couple of weeks and will be in the USA for a few days. I was planning on using data to navigate. What would be a reliable and economical way to do this?
