I got a contract a while ago I think it's maybe 5GB 3 years £10 a month.. But then my experience has been that after 2 years or so, you can get 10GB £10 a month, PAYG. No new phone with it 'cos I don't want to pay over £10 a month. So is contract always a bad deal eg if not getting a new phone with it as is the case with…

O2's miserable Customer Service & Fake Rolling Plans lure new customers to Contract Plans..??
I am in the process to move away from Lyca after my terrible porting experience with them recently. Luckily (or unluckily) I found a brilliant Black Friday deal with a O2 Rolling Plan.

Not entitled to a New Sim only deal with existing provider (Lebara) if you want to keep number
Just found that Lebara won't let me use the new MSE special sim-only plan deal I just bought now that they have 'ported/migrated'' my existing number to it because I am already with Lebara so bringing my old number has also brought my old deal. Explanation is that the latest deal is an advertising promotion for new…

Lyca Mobile Woes
Has anyone else suffered the unreliability and bare-faced lies that I have with Lyca Mobile? Whenever it goes down - and I can manage to get through to customer service - they come up with an excuse, say that they will fix the problem, (and that I don't need to call back), but they have never actually fixed anything. When…

Tesco Mobile won't let me pay the bill!
Bizarre situation. I opened an account with Lebara, then moved my Tesco Mobile number to Lebara, using the Ofcom system where you get a PAC code from original supplier and pass it to new supplier.

Second pay as you go esim
Due to all the 3g networks being switched off in my area (and no 5g plans in place to replace it), I now have lots of network drop outs, where areas have no coverage whatsoever (where it used to fall back to 3g). As a result, I am thinking of getting a second SIM on a different network. What I am hoping someone sells, and…
