Unlock EE smartphone?
I have read the article about unlocking an EE smartphone on this website and it says I can do this for free via the EE website. It appears I only need the IMEI number of the Android handset. Do I need an active EE pay-as-you-go sim and active EE account as well? I'm planning to buy a secondhand EE locked phone, but I only…

Affordable Mobiles - weren't able to supply the handset they agreed.
I wasn't made aware that if you order a refurbished mobile from AM they don't have one in stock - you have to wait for one to become available, and that might take a while. The delivery date they gave me was a guess; they missed it and weren't able to give me any idea when they could deliver. I cancelled the order.

Hi everyone, probably like a few of you I jumped at the chance to get the Lyca sim on the offer in the weekly email last week. I filled in the order form paid the £1.49, sim arrived, put it in my phone, filled out the PAC form, number changed today but I can't make any calls because it said that I have no credit. I was…

USA roaming ... Surely this can't be the cheapest way?
Hi all, I'm travelling to the USA for about 10 days in October. I am currently on a Plusnet 30 day SIM only deal. From reading the guide on here, it looks like the cheapest way to do this will be to cancel my Plusnet, switch to 3 PAYG for a data bundle while I'm away, then take out a new SIM only deal when I'm back (3…

Mobile phone SIM only help please
Hi all, bought what I thought was a half decent 2nd hand Samsung Galaxy off eBay. She advertised the phone as being unlocked. When it arrived I put a Lebara SIM (cheap £5 a month no contract deal suits me) but phone wouldn't accept it. I called her and she said she was puzzled and assured me phone was unlocked, but she'd…

costing her plus it's not easy for her to top-up. I suggested she’d save a lot by getting a SIM only

PAYG for elderly - Lebara??
I'm trying to get an old fashioned Pay As You Go deal for my elderly mother. She is never really going to use the mobile - just needs a number so she can open a savings account. She just needs a SIM to put in an old phone of mine. I got a Lebara SIM card but don't want a deal - should I just choose top up credit? (She…

Lycamobile - No incoming calls and texts after porting to Lyca
Joined Lycamobile in mid July and filled out the port in form to transfer my mobile number. The process was completed after 2 days. Since then I had no incoming calls and texts.

New Smartphone
I know almost nothing about Smartphones and recently acquired one for the first time. It is of course unlocked and does not have a SIM. Any basic phone I've previously had came with the SIM and number already installed. In the process of getting a SIM for the Smartphone and activating it at what stage do I get a phone…

End of EE Contract / Plusnet sim only?
My EE contract ends at the end of August so looking for Sim only. The EE sim only prices are looking a little ridiculous, although I've yet to go through the haggling and retention phase. I'm currently on 4GB data and don't really need more. I can get Plusnet 30 day sim only for £6/month but am I correct in thinking that…
