ID Mobile line no longer working reliably

Lebara deals - do they constantly change? A couple of days ago £6.90 got you 35gb, today only 12gb
Hi everyone Just wondered for those who follow mobile Sim Only deals, do Lebara constantly change? They seem to have gone from £6.90 getting you 35gb a couple of days ago to now just 12gb for that same amount. This is such poor value and not what I would expect from them. Do they go up and down? Could it be because black…

Basic advice please
My partner & I have been PAYG with Tescomobile for years but don’t wish to have to remain after the changes they are proposing. We are both elderly, not tech savvy and our phone requirements are usually phone calls & texts in the uk or very occasionally in the EU. My partner would also prefer the option of some data for…

Tesco mobile shutting down 2g
A duck duck smart search on the internet now tells me Tesco mobile will stop both 2g and 3g by the end of this year. This smart search uses AI to scan all relevant data to try and make some sense of the 2g confusion out there at the moment. My Samsung 2g is already playing up. Tesco says it is a dodgy SIM connection. I…

Sky Mobile Activation issue
After reading about Skys £1.00 contract I've ordered two SIMS from Sky to move from Tescos. I can get onto my Sky account through website or app and it shows my SIMS as delivered which is correct. I go to the activate bit and I'm asked what SIMs I would like to order. Everywhere I read it should ask me if I want to…

Using eSIM on my phone for SO's banking apps and my physical SIM for my banking apps
I'm hoping someone with a good knowledge about eSIMs might be able to help — my SO lost their phone a few weeks back, and it was a total nightmare... New phone now, so all is good. BUT as I'm the one who does both mine and their banking online and using apps, would it be possible to put their mobile phone number on my…

This is just my second post after rejoining MSE and I'll be glad of your opinion. For two days, as well as this morning, I have been trying to get through on 150 and 07953966150 for technical support. At first it says the call will be answered shortly, then 15 minutes, then 45 minutes then one hour. Latterly I have given…

Samsung/Lebara VoLTE setting
I have a A14 4G. Lebara sent me an email to say VoLTE is now available but nowhere on my phone settings (I've gone all over) is VoLTE or LTE (in any guise) shown. Is it automatic and defaulted? How do I prove I have it available now? thanks. PS NOT a Samsung A14 5G, my phone is a 4G version Android 15 and OneUI 7.0.

BT Pay Up Front for Life Mobile Contract
I am writing to state that my wife and me bought two of these SIM contracts in September 2001. They were quite expensive at the time £200 each and we decided upon the 50 minutes anytime per month in phone calls. We since held onto these SIM contracts because they are For LIFE, although O2 have tried to move us onto other…

Lebara daily mobile data usage calculations - is it calculated fairly?
I switched from AsdaMobile to Lebara in March 2025 (via the MSE Exclusive 10GB offer). My actual mobile data usage is low. The AsdaMobile calculations re my mobile data usage were always easy to verify. However, Lebara's calculations are much higher for similar usage and I find them difficult to work out. According to the…
