Quick Lycamobile PAC process question
I'm just looking at their form on the website at the moment. Where it says 'New Number' is this the temporary phone number they give you? Or does it mean the number you want to use going forwards (so for me it's my existing one from my old provider, not the new one)? Also where it says 'Lyca Mobile SIM Number' is it asking…

SIM Only v Phone Included.
I have been thinking about replacing my phone recently, and normally buy the phone then get a SIM only deal, but can't quite stretch to a new phone at the moment. Years ago it used to be a lot cheaper to just buy the phone yourself, does this still hold true today? If I did a deal with Vodaphone (for instance) and had what…

Leaky Lebara? (or is it MSE?)
I get a lot of spam - who doesn't? But what I don't get is spam trying to sell me mobile phones or mobile services. That was until half an hour after signing up for a Lebara SIM via the latest MSE special deal, earlier today. Since then I have had a small stream of them. So which, if ether, of these two is leaking…

Closure of EE Signal Box Service
EE is closing its Signal Box service https://ee.co.uk/help/help-new/general/signal-box/improve-your-signal-at-home-using-signal-box.

While I would consider moving supplier, 3 are willing to match the best deal I can find on comparison sites that suits my usage and I'm happy to stay with them on this basis. I am hugely confused about when the CPI…

Anyone use a UK SIM for tethering in EU?
The usual answer to this is "Buy a local SIM" so if we put that on the back burner for a moment... All the UK SIM-only deals I can find, even unlimited data, always have a fairly low limit set for data/tethering while roaming in the EU. After a couple of Zoom calls abroad they are struggling, and I need to be tethered to a…
