Is Spusu the Cheapest SIM for 1m break from Lebara - any issues
I have read on here that in order to take advantage of newer Lebara deals like 80p a month for 9 months, I need to leave and come back. Is the Spusu £2.90 MSE deal the best and cheapest choice for this? Has anyone done this? What are the timings? It seems to me that it is going to be hard to avoid paying for 2 months as…

Lebara switching Sim only plan - Deals only available to new customers
With Lebara (not for much longer!) and needed more data pm so looked on a price comparison site - Lebara was the competitive and as I was already with them gave them a call. Operative was very apologetic but apparently they cannot give any deals to existing customers, and if you order a Sim from the price comparison site…

Confused over how to leave ID mobile and avoid a new bill?

My 24 month contract was due to expire on the 16th August 2025. My end of contract notification email said if I switch to a new provider any time after the 16th…

I want to buy a refurbished iphone 13 and trade in my iphone XR on Back Market. With the launch of iphone 17 soon, this will make the phone I buy cheaper but the trade in value less (currently £72). So do I do it now before the launch or wait till after? Back Market is the only one to offer me decent trade in. The others -…

ID Mobile - reduced connectivity and feedback on voucher eligibility

1pMobile have taken £10 when I had a £14 balance
I had a balance of just over £14 and it came time to pay for my £8 monthly boost, which auto renews. Given that I have auto topup set to work when my balance goes below £2, I assumed they'd take the £8 and I'd have £6 left as my balance, but they've taken £10 via my payment method so I'll now have a balance of £16. I'm…

RWG terminating all users on e-sim's without warning - zero notice cut off
My partner received a PAC code yesterday out of the blue. Alarm bells started as all the reasons that you look for this happening suggest it's part of "sim swap fraud" so whilst trying to contact RWG, a pointless exercise it seems, she went around changing all her passwords and 2FA contact number. The PAC code wasn't just…

I know…

Replace mobile number on O2 after banking impersonation scam?
My mother in law has been the victim of a banking impersonation scam, with crooks managing to gain access to her bank account and stealing half her cash before fraud detection kicked in and blocked any more attempts.

Wifi calling on Tesco Mobile PAYG
Tesco use the O2 network. O2 don't currently offer WiFi calling to their PAYG customers, which I assume is why Tesco don't offer this service. I believe O2 will offer this service to its own customers by the end of the year. Does this mean it will also be available with Tesco.

Lebara - Best way of getting back onto a MSE deal?
Hello,I've been with Lebara quite a while, and I'm now on their standard pricing. MSE tells me they're doing cheaper packages for new customers. Is my best option to port away from Lebara to a different network, and then go back after a month, or are Lebara happy to move existing customers onto deals? Thanks.

Lebara 100GB rolling plan – what can you actually do with it?
Bit of a daft question, but I don’t want to look daft in front of a friend.
Friend is switching from O2 after a messy cancellation. Tried PAYG but kept topping up too much. She’s now looking at Lebara’s 100GB rolling plan. International calls are nice, but data is the main thing – she can always use WhatsApp for calls.…
