Lebara SIM not received
I have used Lebara in the long ago past and been very happy and impressed with their service. Has anyone had any issue with not receiving their new SIM card? A family member and I both took advantage of the offer for Lebara. They received their SIM within 5 days by post and had no problem activating the SIM and setting up…

PAYG data SIM without expiring data? Is that a thing?
Does any network sell a data SIM with data that doesn't expire? Looking for a data SIM to use in a tablet. I infrequently use mobile data on it, as I’m usually near a WiFi connection. So looking for a SIM that I can top-up with around 10-50GB of data. Use for 12 months or however long it lasts. A monthly contract doesn’t…

Anyone had any luck haggling O2 on their SIM-only deal?
Just spoke to O2 as they have raised my charges £13.10/month for 20GB/month (unlimited texts/calls). Technically it's 40GB/month because of my Virgin Media package. Tesco Mobile have their £12.50/month (with clubcard) offer which offers the same package but 60GB/month. O2 said Tesco's offer was a "fantastic deal" (there…

Hidden costs when buying through a reseller?
Hi, new here. Last year, I signed up for a 24 month contract for an iPhone with Mobile Phones Direct. It seems that the entire monthly cost appears as the tarrif once it gets to the network (O2). So once April comes around, the 3.9% + RPI is applied to the whole lot, rather than to the actual airtime portion. I think by…

Rwg and apple
Hi all. A forum user is on the free bundle from rwg but can't receive messages about their allowance when texting from an ipad. On my android they come through as a class 0 message. Does anyone use rwg on an apple product and know how to enable class 0 messages, or how bundle balances are received by apple products?

eSim options for emergency use?
I am thinking of buying the huawei watch 3 pro (not on contract)
which has eSim. This would only be used for emergency calls. Therefore, I don't want any expensive plans. I checked esim.net, but
they charge £13 per month. Are there any other options? I looked at
Vodphone basics at £6 per month, but am unsure if they…

Lyca SIM Only Failure followed by success
Just wanted to share my experience with Lyca, it wasn't good. In short, I wouldn't recommend it, it's been a total waste of time, several hours so far and wasn't able to activate the MSE deal, although the payment etc. all went through ok. More detail if you want it... I took the £2.45 for 6 months deal, via the MSE link,…

Does such a SIM card exist? I want to transfer one number to another SIM within the same mobile company, but they say I have to port out and then port back again. I’d rather not have to pay to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions please?
