Mobile coverage checker
MSE offer a mobile signal checker that seems to be pretty arbitrary at best and so far I’ve found contradictory and thus pretty useless. I wonder if it is based on Ofcom’s offering who have been publicly roasted on forums like Trustpilot. I know and understand the excuses for signal variation (growing trees, suddenly…

O2 turning off original PUFFL SIM cards
There always used to be a few users of the "BTCellnet Pay Upfront For Life" deals from 2001/2002 era around here. O2 are switching off the original 2G SIM cards so 5G SIM cards are being sent out as replacements soon. Worth checking they still have the right address for you if, like me, you have moved house at some point…

My experience with Lebara and Lyca
My experience with Lebara and Lyca I've had terrible service from Lebara and Lyca. To be fair to them both, they can't possibly be that bad to everyone or they would have gone bust by now. I hope I was just unlucky somehow and things work out better for you. LEBARASigned up through MSE on a discount rate for the first six…

Are iPhones considered statues symbols in the UK?
I was reading on a Reddit post the new iPhone 15 is considered a status symbol in poor countries and people aspire to own them, but for me, it’s just normal having a iPhone 15 like many of my contemporary follow Britains. For poor countries it’s like a whole year of their income to buy one. For me I only have to save for 3…

So, she just stop paying the contract and hoped for the best. I know, not the greatest idea and I only found out myself recently. She has dyslexia and finds all things like…

Another Lyca warning
Signed up a few months ago. Porting over was difficult, and my connection cuts out the evening I'm due to auto-renew. Final straw was when I was abroad a couple of weeks ago. In the middle of a foreign country, the roaming cuts out. Live chat agent stopped responding after a few exchanges (mainly incredibly vague…

Props to iD Mobile for dealing with signal issues
I switched to iD Mobile from EE recently, not only because of price but also because EE reception in my new home was quite poor, and the Three reception with iD seemed a bit better, though not as good as Vodafone which my wife uses (we always use different networks, so we don't find ourselves both losing signal in the same…
