PAYG SIM for an old phone that is hardly ever used
I’m trying to help an elderly neighbour who needs a pay as you go SIM that doesn’t need to be used very often or is very cheap to use, as she has recently found herself disconnected from lack of use for 90 days, after her current network automatically changed her pay as you go to a £1 minimum spend and she stopped using…

O2 Sim deals
Just tried to purchase a O2 sim deal (30gh data unlimited minutes and text for £8.00 a month) though MSE but I failed the credit check. When I queried this with O2 they said that "because the price was a lot cheaper on MSE website than on O2 website that's why it was rejected and nothing to do with the credit check. So…

Aerial-Direct
has anyone found themselves in an aerial-direct contract thinking they were with O2. My wife has found herself in this situation although she is adamant she did not agree to anything on their cold call. If you managed to get out of their contract how did you do it?

Virgin Mobile to 02 Issues with changeover
I am experiencing issues with Virgin automatic move to 02 1. My bill was £10.91 until March 2023 when it mysteriously went up to £13.85 2. The 02 switch put it to £13.84 with double data 50gb which would be ok but the phone is rarely used to make calls, rarely use data and it is never used for text messages so I thought to…

Lyca MSE Blagged Offer
Having seen people comment about the Lyca mobile website being a bit dodgy occasionally when it comes to sign up/payments etc, can anyone vouch for/advise on the Lyca "MSE 1" offer? (Or any other blagged Lyca offer) I saw it listed on the MSE comparison tool for SIM deals. The offer (at time of writing) listed for the MSE…

EE Treating Customers as Fair Game
I have just realised I am paying nearly full price on my kids' mobiles despite their compulsory contracts finishing last August. EE is ripping me off by still charging me virtually the full price, £28 per phone. A comparable SIM only deal is £10 per month. That amounts to over £350 overpayment in the last 10 months.…

Porting number to Lyca?
Have just got the 12GB data SIM from Lyca, current deal at 1.49 pm for 6 months.... Trying to use the "Port in" form on their website to transfer my number but I'm stumped. For some reason it is asking for three phone numbers, "number you want to keep", "new number" and "Lyca mobile number". I've tried entering the same…

Suggestions for a very basic mobile phone similar to 2006 era but with very basic internet
I have a phone from around 2006 which has done me just fine all this time as I only used simple calling and texts. It is on its last legs though with issues with battery keeping charge even after replacing as it seems to drain it somehow either way, even when off, with the screen doing some flickering thing taking juice. I…

02 £6.99 monthly x 12 month contract
I spent two hours speaking to 02 a week ago trying to change my tariff to their £6.99 monthly one. I’ve been with them for several years. They agreed it was available to me and tried to change but apparently the network wasn’t working - after spending 2 hours going through everything. We’ve since tried three more times and…

Banished number
I used a sim-only number from Three for the past eight years. No problems. I'm staying in Asia long-term now. Just got locked out my Santander account so needed to receive a text. No network. Phoned three.co.uk and they said the number is banished as I didn't top up in the last six months and they cannot get it back. I…

Double data on O2 via Virgin Mobile
I just ordered a 30-day contract SIM on Virgin Mobile. They offer data rollover but, as merging with O2, they will transfer all customers to O2 & will either double their data, or offer unlimited data. Having Aldo used Topcashback, I got 25GB/mth + unlimited texts & calls + free EU roaming + £11 cashback for £8/month, so…

Taking calls on both SIM cards.
I have a mobile number that I use for work and want to keep it separate from my property sale (estate agents and Solicitor). My Motorola has 2 SIM cards but when I call the number I gave to the estate agent it does not ring but goes straight to answerphone and I am alerted by a text sent to my primary SIM. I can listen to…

SIM card for vacation to Turkey.
Hi all. I have recently returned from a holiday in Dalyan Turkey. TUI asked me to download the TUI app which keeps me updated whilst on holiday. I'm with EE but my e mails wouldn't download and my TUI app couldn't open. It was a small hotel and were the only guests from that flight to be booked in. I couldn't open the TUI…

Lebara - Email verification has failed
Hi Can anyone tell me if they have had this message when trying to log in to a Lebara account for the first time? I think it's because I didn't get an email to verify my account originally. I've asked for another but for some reason they are saying they either wont or can't do this. I can log in to my account online but…

I have changed to an iphone XS maxi from an XR. I am trying to remove the XR from my Apple account before I sell it.

Smarty
Hi all. After seeing good reviews of Smarty, I decided to switch. The SIM arrived and it said I needed to download the app and when I looked at the reviews on there, it was full of 1 star, awful reviews. So I'm a bit confused now. Does anyone use them (or used them previously) that could let me know of your experiences…
