iD mobile and 3 network - a word of warning
Sim only with iD mobile - all OK until 2 days ago. Now no calls in or out. After an hour on 'Live Chat' they tell me my new 5G phone wont work on their network.

Hi all, got an email last week from O2 about their annual price rise, which am sure many of you also had.
