Poor Voice Call Quality With Mobile?
I'm never been a mobile user, but I resurrected an ancient Nokia 3510i (received as a present, many years ago) to use purely for receiving OTP texts with online banking, using an RWG SIM, and it has been fine. However, with a large increase in my broadband/landline renewal price, which had previously included anytime…

She just messaged me saying she's considering getting an Orange travel eSIM but it has a french number. Will that cost her or my family and her friends anything to message and text?

Onecom
I feel I've been mislead by Onecom from the start. 17 months ago I agreed to take out a phone contract with them on the understanding that they would reduce my existing mobile phone bill - the opposite happened. It went from £17 a month to £30 per month for a SIM only deal. It's a 3 year contract and at month 17 that I'm…

New SIM only deal - worth starting now or wait until April?
I am in the process of changing/upgrading my phone and I've chosen to invest in a SIM only deal. Is it better to set it up now before the 17%+ price hikes in April or should I wait until after the price hike to see where the best deals are?

Need guidance in choosing a Pay Monthly (Sim Only) contract
Hi all, I have been happily using Pay as You Go on the Three (3) network for over 10 years now without issue. For the last few years I have been getting their 'All You Can Eat 90' Add On every three months, where I pay £90 for Unlimited Data, Unlimited Texts and Unlimited minutes. This has always served me very well and I…

Central Asia & Mongolia sim card - what does this mean?
I have just received a brand new Samsung Galaxy A6 phone. It has 'CENTRAL ASIA & MONGOLIA SIM CARD ONLY' written on the box. I am in the UK so what does this mean? My previous phone had 'European sim card only' written on the box. Why doesn't it say the same? I am scared to open it unless I know that I can use it in the UK

Could I get existing number ported over before activating sim?
Can you have your existing mobile number ported over to a new provider before activating the sim? I purchased a new sim contract with Lebara which may not arrive until Friday. Yet my current contract ends Friday and I’d rather not have to wait and use the new providers number for a few days untill my numbers ported.

PAC code from Lyca, is the system down?
Signed up for the MSE Lyca 1p a month deal. Although the Lyca website's PAC form isn't the simplest to fill in to port your number over to them, it seems to have worked. I ordered a second SIM to use as a "temporary SIM" to move my number back to a new deal on my existing network. How long does a PAC code (to port out)…

Has Anyone Èlse Experienced, On A Moto E7 Being Unable To Turn Off The Lift To Wake, in Settings?
On a friend's E7 Moto mobile the "lift to wake" cannot be turned off in Settings. The local O2 mobile shop Guru said that this may be due to an update that has gone wrong and may be corrected in a future update. Has anybody else experienced this problem? Thank you for all replies.

MSE guide discussion - Piggybacking - need to keep your signal? You can still switch network
Hi all, Just starting a new thread as we've recently optimized our Piggybacking guide. Piggerbackers have come a long way, with some now offering 5G, Wi-Fi calling, visual voicemail and '4G calling' (VoLTE). Do you use any of these extra features? Also, what's your experiences switching Sims? Do you find it easy to do?…

Switching number to Smarty Error
Judging purely from the Automated e-mails from Smarty (their system), does it look like the PAC transfer did NOT go through. Thus I can simply either try again tomorrow, or just switch my number to another network? (See below for full details) I haven't had any trouble in the past switching a number over to Smarty, or…

Genuine warning for anyone moving to Lebara (UK): tethering issue
Hi folks, I know there have been a few warning threads that have been more personal experience/dislike than a genuine issue that could affect everyone.

When can I take a new contract out an avoid the annual increase being applied this year?
Someone I know took a new contract out 5 or so weeks ago and has obviously been immediately hit with a huge increase because of the annual hike. I want to know when is the soonest I can take a new contract out to not have this increase applied straight away this year? I've managed with my trusty iPhone on sim deals since…
