Can't make outgoing 0800 calls.
So, this morning I tried 14 times to call Saga insurance on their 0800 number. The phone registered the fact that I initiated the call but did not connect or ring out and the call dropped out automatically after 12 seconds. I then made 2 calls to different numbers on the same handset without problems. I then successfully…

My wife and I joined VM through a link on the Martin Lewis site on 2/5/22 with a £25 Amazon voucher (each) incentive after 120 days (through GiftCloud). Neither of us have received anything.

Lebara Linking Sim card accounts
We currently have two SIM cards with Lebara. One is still in its promotional period, and the other on an old MSE tariff they no longer offer. Due to chasing promotions, these sims are currently lined to accounts with the incorrect email addresses. Is it possible to de-link sims from these accounts and consolidate them on…

Moblox from White Mobile - is my number safe?
Hopefully I know the answer to this but: I ported my number from White Mobile to RWG a few weeks ago and it' all went without a hitch. White Mobile have now been taken over by Moblox. Since then I've had dozens of texts and emails saying I have to order a Moblox SIM or they will delete my number. I'm pretty sure they…

Rant: Rip-off Plusnet data bolt-ons
I signed up to a 12m SIM-only contract a few months ago with Plusnet that was a great deal - £7pm with 10GB data, and cash redemption too. But this month I've found myself without broadband after moving house for 3-4 weeks, due to issues with taking over the line from the previous owners, and me and my partner both work…

White Mobile taken over by Moblox
A few weeks ago I had an email saying White Mobile was being taken over by Moblox. The same email said I would lose my PAYG balance in October but they would give me a 3 month discount on their £6 per month plan. I challenged the loss of my balance as being illegal and unfair, and I told them I didn't want to move to any…

30-Day Rolling SIM only deal .. How do I leave ?
I have a 30-day rolling contract but wish to change. I understand i can now simply send a text and will receive a PAC code in return. Do I then contract my new supplier, pick the deal and provide them with the PAC code ? I have to give 30 days notice to my old supplier, so I assume I end up paying twice, if I use the PAC…

3 roaming USA
Some feedback of our experience using 3 PAYG for a trip to the US. We paid for a SIM bundle in advance, 30GB data, unlimited calls and texts, used a couple of times before we left in an unlocked phone. Actually 3 only give 40% of the data "Fair use" for roaming. Unlimited calls and texts were only to UK numbers whether…

Roaming, America and EE
My 83 year old dad went to America to meet some first cousins he'd never met before (his dad died when he was a baby and his mum lost touch with the family). Before he went, we went into EE to find out how best my dad could use his phone when he was there. As he was with BT, they gave him a phone number to ring. So, he…
