Leaving EE
Hi First, I realise that there's an existing thread, but the advice seemed inconclusive, so here goes! My 24-month contract with EE expires on 22 Oct. I'll move to a SIM-only deal with another provider, retaining my existing phone number. Do I need to give EE (30 days?) notice, or does my contract end as soon as they…

Moving from Vodafone to a MVNO that uses Vodafone
Hi, my contract with VF is almost at an end. Although I get how to request and use a PAC, this time round some MVNO companies that share VF have some tempting deals. Are there any problems with using a PAC in these circumstances or is it best to look for a 'clean break' this time round and use a MNO or MVNO with a network…

Cannot request PAC code untill next day?
Double porting from Lebara to Lebara. I've ported from lebara to a 3 payg sim. Just after my number had ported to 3 I requested a PAC code and received the message 'Hi there, Sorry, because your current PAC or STAC's valid until midnight tonight, we can't sort a new one until tomorrow. Please try again then! Is this right…

Question about VoWiFi and texts
The signal from my provider (EE) has decreased lately, I think due to nearby trees in full bloom, but my phone allows me to use VoWiFi so calls are crystal clear. Can anyone say if text messages use the same route or are they likely to suffer from the reduced cellular signal strength? This happens every year with the…

Returning to Lebara from Lycamobile can I get the blagged deal again
Has anyone got experience of repeatedly switching between the 2 companies every 6 months to avail the blagged deals? It looks like it will work if you just use a different e-mail address each time. I've currently got my mobile with Lyca and my daughter's is with Lebara but it's in my name. I was thinking of switching hers…

Mobile Signal checker
Currently with Plusnet mobile so have to move sooner or later. EE seems to expensive to me. I have checked for coverage on Ofcom and Signal Checker but they are vastly different. I have also checked on individual providers and again they don't match Ofcom so who do I believe?

Problem with the Virgin>O2 handover
Hi I wondered if anyone could give me some advice please. As a household we have 5 mobiles and all of our TV/broadband with virgin media (although possibly not for long). As some may be aware virgin mobile recently switched everyone’s contacts/sims to O2 (although they are still part of the same family). We had no choice…

Three EU Roaming
I'm going to Spain tomorrow and have a Three mobile contract (not pre- '21). I had looked on their site a few days ago and saw they had a £20 charge for 14 days roaming in the EU. I thought I would buy that tonight, as I need to research travel over there and use date for Zoom etc. But I just looked tonight and I can only…

Save money and stay with 02 - sim only
After April price hikes on sim plans with O2 I looked around for other deals. I prefer the O2 network as it has best service at home. I switched to Virgin mobile which runs on O2 network, main benefit was cheaper and unused data roll over each month. Some months later I got moved back to O2 on the same tariff and I got…

Leaving EE sim only
In EE, I clicked on the link 'Thinking of leaving EE' to see what my options are. I didn't select any of the two options that appeared for cancelling or moving to another provider. Then about a minute later I received a text from EE that said 'your total charge for ending your contract early is £19.76 I didn't even want to…

Lyca deal through MSE - DON'T port numbers straight away.
My advise is to check everything if works, then transfer your number, otherwise you may be stuck in mess like me and my partner: Purchased 2x sim deal through MSE on 24.08, received on 25.08 (today is 06.09), emails stated "You've already bought a plan or credit!" which is correct, however, sims are empty, no monthly plan…

Obtaining PAC from talkmobile
I'm leaving talkmobile and requested a PAC by text ( PAC to 65075). The text response was ' Sorry we didn't understand your last message...please call 5888 or visit [website]'. Has anyone else encountered this rejection? Surely it breaks ofcom rules? Similarly I couldn't see a way of requesting a PAC on the website. I did…

Pay As You Go Refund
I'm leaving O2 to go to Lebara but I'm confused as to what happens to my credit. According to some boffins on the O2 forum, you lose the credit - I'm loathe to argue with forum experts but the following info is on O2's leaving page: https://www.o2.co.uk/help/account-and-billing/leaving-o2 The forum experts decree that this…
