Basic mobile for the technically challenged
I'm trying to sort out a mobile phone for a friend who lives miles away. He's elderly and not at all technical. He seems to have a mobile he got from Virgin called an Artfone C1 but as far as I can see that's no use as 1. Virgin are ceasing to exist and 2. It's only a 2G phone. He's never even opened it. He only needs the…

SIM card only - like it used to be?
Years ago if you had a phone and you wanted a SIM card for some temporary or even permanent use, you'd pop into a shop or even a newsagent, buy a SIM for a few quid and that would be that. Am I missing something in this supposed "SIM only" world, or can't you do that any more? I have an old phone knocking around and would…

I've just contacted Plusnet to get them to stop the CPI increase (which they did - well done Craig) and discovered that the service will soon be discontinued and we will all be transferred to EE who look so much more expensive. I can't find out when this will happen. Anyone have any further information? Thanks

Virgin Mobile - switching existing SIMs to new deal?
My wife and kids have Virgin Mobile SIMs. In previous years, at least once or twice, when the price increases have happened, we have been able to find cheaper deals, still with VM, via comparison sites such as Uswitch or MoneySupermarket. The handy thing has been that by making sure we were logged into our Virgin Mobile…

New Sim Card, can I delay the activation?
I am getting made redundant at work and for years had the benefit of being allowed to use my work mobile for personal use. My garden leave ends in first week of June.

Poor Voice Call Quality With Mobile?
I'm never been a mobile user, but I resurrected an ancient Nokia 3510i (received as a present, many years ago) to use purely for receiving OTP texts with online banking, using an RWG SIM, and it has been fine. However, with a large increase in my broadband/landline renewal price, which had previously included anytime…

Onecom
I feel I've been mislead by Onecom from the start. 17 months ago I agreed to take out a phone contract with them on the understanding that they would reduce my existing mobile phone bill - the opposite happened. It went from £17 a month to £30 per month for a SIM only deal. It's a 3 year contract and at month 17 that I'm…

New SIM only deal - worth starting now or wait until April?
I am in the process of changing/upgrading my phone and I've chosen to invest in a SIM only deal. Is it better to set it up now before the 17%+ price hikes in April or should I wait until after the price hike to see where the best deals are?

Central Asia & Mongolia sim card - what does this mean?
I have just received a brand new Samsung Galaxy A6 phone. It has 'CENTRAL ASIA & MONGOLIA SIM CARD ONLY' written on the box. I am in the UK so what does this mean? My previous phone had 'European sim card only' written on the box. Why doesn't it say the same? I am scared to open it unless I know that I can use it in the UK
