Lebara - Monthly Payments / Customer Service
Joined Lebara and the first monthly payment is £5.90 instead of the £1.49, that it's supposed to be - contacted them and the customer service is refunding me, but make sure you check what they're charging you. I think they do it to everyone and hope they won't notice.

Insure a phone bought from AliExpress
I know the warranty they provide is worthless as even if it was possible to send it back to them, it would be far too expensive. I'm just wondering if there are any phone insurers that would cover a phone bought from them / Asia? Cheers.
