How late in notice period can I request PAC code?
I have a monthly SIM-only contract where the minimum period has passed so I only need to give a month's notice to leave. I want to take up similar with a different supplier but with as few days overlap as possible, meaning I will have to delay the application for up to 4 weeks.

Sim deals for Data Roaming
A lot of people, myself included, travel abroad and use data to stream TV on their mobile phone, tablet or PC. Up until last February if you paid for unlimited data then that's what you got. Now roaming unlimited data means that there is a cap, called fair usage, anywhere from 12 to 25Gb from all the UK network suppliers…

Mobiles discounted when new model is due
I was looking at a Google Pixel 6a after reading some excellent reviews of it. Someone mentioned that as Pixel 7s are going to be on the market soon, 6s are likely to have price reductions and that maybe I should wait a while.Is this likely do you think, or should I just get one now?

MSE 3 PAYG workaround
We've been with 3 since 2018 on a 1 month notice plan with 50% friends and family discount. At the time, the 1 month option was good because we wanted to try the service/coverage and the 50% discount made it a reasonable cost for that flexibility. Over time the price has increased so it just under £11/m for 4GB. We've used…

O2 Roaming
I was on o2 a couple of years ago and had the worst service from then I've had from any company, ever. Nevertheless, as so many of the other mobile companies have got rid of free roaming, I was tempted to look at o2 again as they're making a big deal of the fact that they're the only one of the big 4 who still provides…
