eSIM providers in the UK -- does Tesco and Sky support it?
Hi folks, recently I moved my phone (SIM only) contract to 3 mobile and they made a royal mess of things; I've been unable to use my number for 4 days now. Since I'm in the 14 day grace period, I would like to get out ASAP and move to a good provider. One of the reasons I used 3Mobile was because they provided an eSIM. I…

Virgin SIM to O2 Migration change of rules?
Hello, I have been waiting for my Virgin SIMs to move to O2 since I was first notified earlier this year. I had 2 and the first one was moved in July with loads of issues now happily resolved.

WhatsApp Texting, How Do I Get Emoticon Hints As I Text?
As you type certain words, that are a match to or are appropriate to an emotican, you receive a hint like you receive "word hints".

When to schedule no. switch using PAC code?
I've just been completely frazzled by customer service from my current phone provider that I really can't deal with calling them again to clarify the situation, so thought I would come here to ask :) My current phone contract expires on 24th October.

10 year old 3 phone debt
My daughter's phone was stolen, 10 years ago now. She didn't have any insurance and didn't cancel the contract, neither did she report it properly. So, she just stop paying the contract and hoped for the best. I know, not the greatest idea and I only found out myself recently. She has dyslexia and finds all things like…

Asda Mobile terms & conditions .... frequency of top ups.
I might be wrong but I thought I saw mention that an amendment to their T's and C's dictated that subscribers to their PAYG plan at 15p per minute were now required to TOP UP every 180 days rather than just make a chargeable call or text. I have two, long standing but infrequently used, numbers on their PAYG and do make…

Are iPhones considered statues symbols in the UK?
I was reading on a Reddit post the new iPhone 15 is considered a status symbol in poor countries and people aspire to own them, but for me, it’s just normal having a iPhone 15 like many of my contemporary follow Britains. For poor countries it’s like a whole year of their income to buy one. For me I only have to save for 3…

Another Lyca warning
Signed up a few months ago. Porting over was difficult, and my connection cuts out the evening I'm due to auto-renew. Final straw was when I was abroad a couple of weeks ago. In the middle of a foreign country, the roaming cuts out. Live chat agent stopped responding after a few exchanges (mainly incredibly vague…

Props to iD Mobile for dealing with signal issues
I switched to iD Mobile from EE recently, not only because of price but also because EE reception in my new home was quite poor, and the Three reception with iD seemed a bit better, though not as good as Vodafone which my wife uses (we always use different networks, so we don't find ourselves both losing signal in the same…

Is Vodafone misleading customers about switching?
I was told by Vodafone that if I switched to the much less expensive Lebara- which uses the same network - my data speeds would be in the 'slow lane', call quality would be worse and customer service abysmal. There was a risk also that I would lose the number I've had for 26 years in the porting process, she said. Really?…

Leaving O2
Hi guys, has anyone left O2 recently? My contract ends with them on 6th October, but i’ve just read that i’ve to give them 30 days notice to leave. That’s nonsense to me, as my contract clearly finished on 6th October and so certainly dont want to pay them until 6th November!! Of course they dont answer the phone, but i’ve…

How to repair iPhone 4s with scorched charging dock
We think this was a victim of a power surge as there's charring inside the dock and also on the charger itself. It means the phone won't charge or connect to a Mac. Apple won't touch it because it's so old, ditto 'Apple experts' we've called. However, is it as straighforward as buying a new battery and charger and getting…
