Lebara - No Voicemail Notifications?
Moved to Lebara sim only from THREE UK yesterday and I use an IPhone 12. Really happy with Lebara so far, however have found one major drawback.... I have set up voicemail and can listen to messages by calling 121 which is working fine. The problem is, I don’t get a notification when someone leaves a voicemail. Most…

Speakerphone
Apologies if this is a really stupid question but how to you 'switch on' the speakerphone function on an android phone? I have a Motorola running android 12. Can't seem to find any information on how to control the speakerphone - not sure if it is a built in function or do I need to download an app? Thanks

Cheap phone needed - Vodafone
My friend is currently on a SIM only deal with Vodafone. Her current phone is several years old and is less than reliable. She does not want to spent hundreds on a new phone. Can anyone offer any advice on what might be a decent phone to consider? I am clueless with technology and don't want to suggest something to her…

Moblox from White Mobile - is my number safe?
Hopefully I know the answer to this but: I ported my number from White Mobile to RWG a few weeks ago and it' all went without a hitch. White Mobile have now been taken over by Moblox. Since then I've had dozens of texts and emails saying I have to order a Moblox SIM or they will delete my number. I'm pretty sure they…

'3' Terminating my contract
My wife and I have been customers of '3' for a number of years. We have SIM only plans 12gb data with unlimited calls & text plus their 'feel at home programme' with free roaming in 72 countries. We renewed the contracts last August for 12 months as per Money Saving Expert's advice at a discounted rate of £8/month. The…

Rant: Rip-off Plusnet data bolt-ons
I signed up to a 12m SIM-only contract a few months ago with Plusnet that was a great deal - £7pm with 10GB data, and cash redemption too. But this month I've found myself without broadband after moving house for 3-4 weeks, due to issues with taking over the line from the previous owners, and me and my partner both work…

I've been given the number of a local guy who is a mobile fitter (n comes recommended), and takes him about 30 minutes outside your house.

White Mobile taken over by Moblox
A few weeks ago I had an email saying White Mobile was being taken over by Moblox. The same email said I would lose my PAYG balance in October but they would give me a 3 month discount on their £6 per month plan. I challenged the loss of my balance as being illegal and unfair, and I told them I didn't want to move to any…

Terrible service Onecom
Hi could anybody help with the following; I took out a SIM only contract for 3 years with Onecom which is part of Vodafone. Sounded amazing until they started charging me £49 from the 17th month when this was never agreed it was supposed to be 2 years of the deal and then to review for another tariff. I spoke to a onecom…

30-Day Rolling SIM only deal .. How do I leave ?
I have a 30-day rolling contract but wish to change. I understand i can now simply send a text and will receive a PAC code in return. Do I then contract my new supplier, pick the deal and provide them with the PAC code ? I have to give 30 days notice to my old supplier, so I assume I end up paying twice, if I use the PAC…

3 roaming USA
Some feedback of our experience using 3 PAYG for a trip to the US. We paid for a SIM bundle in advance, 30GB data, unlimited calls and texts, used a couple of times before we left in an unlocked phone. Actually 3 only give 40% of the data "Fair use" for roaming. Unlimited calls and texts were only to UK numbers whether…

Roaming, America and EE
My 83 year old dad went to America to meet some first cousins he'd never met before (his dad died when he was a baby and his mum lost touch with the family). Before he went, we went into EE to find out how best my dad could use his phone when he was there. As he was with BT, they gave him a phone number to ring. So, he…

Pixel 6a Camera Problem
I've just got a new Pixel 6a and everything is fine apart from the camera. It freezes after 3 or 4 seconds and then after a short while crashes the phone. This still happens in safe mode.I've cleared the phone cache and I think all of the updates have applied OK - Android 13 and the latest update is dated 5th October. Has…

Lycamobile
MSE have blagged some exclusive sim-only deals with Lycamobile. Last week I decided to buy one as I was coming to the end of my 12 month sim-only deal with Vodafone. Boy how I wish I hadn't. I chose the 15GB 1 month rolling sim for £2.25 for 6 months then £6.99 which includes unlimited texts and calls. Sound's great right,…

swap numbers between two SIMs
Maybe this will sound like a strange question, but here goes! I have two PAYG SIMs from two different networks A and B. What I would like to do is to swap the phone numbers between them. Is that possible? I know how to port a number from A to B, but then the A SIM would go dead (and I'd lose the credit), and I'd lose the B…

Accidental 'free' data and calls...is it to good to be true?
Hello All, I wanted to see if this is a common thing. Two years ago I signed up to a new mobile phone contract, it was a two year cash back type contract and being a diligent kind of fella, I recovered all the cashback and the deal worked out to be a good cost effective way of getting a decent mobile, and then I'd just…

Are Asda Mobile really completely hopeless?
I'm in the process of moving my number from Vodafone Basics to Asda Mobile and, rather too late it could be argued, I've been reading all sorts of bad reviews about them. I suspect it all went wrong when they moved their underlying network from EE to Vodafone and that most of the negative reviews relate to that move, so…

Lebara: no SIM card received after 8 days?
