Port In
I ported in my number last week that should of been completed on Monday, my old network o2 has been cancelled and the number hasn’t transferred, it’s just a dead number. If I call it it just says number not recognised. Called Lyca and she said it’s only 50% complete and they are having issues, can’t access my bank or…

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…

Apple won't touch it because it's so old, ditto 'Apple experts' we've called. However, is it as straighforward as buying a new battery and charger and getting…

Slightly faster and better pictures (shows more of my imperfections) but if my old iPhone charging port didn't start going !!!!!! and not working after 4 years I wouldn't had to purchased a…

I’ve got a 3 year contact and 3 will only let me notify them no sooner than 30 days before the end of the term. Is that unfair?

Is it time for me to upgrade? I'm still on iPhone 8.
I'm all about Moneysaving and I have held on to my iPhone 8 for years. I like how Apple works. However, it runs out of charge in 4 hours, and twice was very reluctant to charge up when the battery has elapsed. Otherwise it works great. I use it extensively for posting photos and videos on social media, funny enough, at the…

Lebara mis-selling "monthly" plans?
