Lyca SIM Only Failure followed by success
Just wanted to share my experience with Lyca, it wasn't good. In short, I wouldn't recommend it, it's been a total waste of time, several hours so far and wasn't able to activate the MSE deal, although the payment etc. all went through ok. More detail if you want it... I took the £2.45 for 6 months deal, via the MSE link,…

Ringing France - URGENT
I urgently need to ring France. Which would be better from my two mobiles? I have just over £7 on a White mobile SIM PAYG card which I would like to use up before leaving them. I don’t know how long that would give me? Otherwise I have a Virgin mobile contact. Would that be better to use. Or can I use a special prefix to…

I called them today and have been told that they will not be looking at the mast until 14th October. that is over a month since the issues started. I can occasionally make a call sat in the…

SIM ONLY DEALS
I checked out the SIM only deals in the latest newsletter. I'm with Virgin and the link said the deal was only for new customers. So I rang up and said I was leaving, and they gave me the same deal. It's always worth haggling!

Does such a SIM card exist? I want to transfer one number to another SIM within the same mobile company, but they say I have to port out and then port back again. I’d rather not have to pay to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

Iphone 13 O2 deal
Hi. I'm currently an O2 customer and have tried for a discounted upgrade with no luck. I saw the O2 deal moneysavingexpert.com had for iphone 13 - 128GB storage 24 months no upfront fee and £37/month monthly cost. Absolutely a bargain. I followed the link and was directed to the O2 website with the same deal. I added to my…

Goodbye EE
Hi All, Nearly 2 years ago, I took out a 24 month contract with EE for around £37pm which included a new iphone 11. Now I considered this like a loan for the iPhone, which is paid back monthly + the sim costs. I figured the phone portion of this would be around £25 pm. So coming to the end of the contract I was expecting a…

Free PAYG SIM?
Are there any free PAYG SIMs available that include data and don't require topping up to use it? I ask this because on Three I'm having a problem with the signal and only getting 3G. Also, websites sometimes don't load. So if I had another network SIM to test, I could find out if its a fault with the phone or a network…

Piggyback - Comparison Sites?
So, I'm guessing we all understand the concept of MVNOs (Tesco, Lebara, Voxi, ID, giffgaff etc) who piggyback off the main 4 networks (EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three) I'm with EE and I'm trying to find a decent retentions deal. When I was getting them to try and match or better one of the EE deals on uswitch, they were telling…

Failed credit check, confused
I have an excellent credit history and have not been denied credit for 15 years or so since being a student. I applied for a vodafone contract via mobiles.Co.U.K. and was surprised after a manual check to be declined. Probably stupidly I then tried applying for a 3 contract on the same handset (iPhone 14 pro) and was…

Any Advantages of buying iPhone directly from Apple
Hi, I'm due to replace my iPhone this year. Previously I've always purchased directly from Apple. This year though, I have the option so purchase discounted Curry's vouchers through work. This would make the phone cheaper to buy from Curry's. It used to be that if you purchased direct to apple, you had access to the genius…

Can you cancel a contract if you lose signal?
Getting absolutely nowhere with 3, It's gone as far as the CEO who sent it back down the chain of command again. They run over a script, they find no faults, they go over the usual checks and rubbish such as restarting the phone, selecting new network, etc, once that doesn't work they check again, find a fault, it will be…

Out of contract - been paying £50+ per month for 4GB data for years
Hello My 79-old father isn't tech savvy. I've just discovered that he signed up to a 2 year 4 GB contract with Vodafone in 2017. He rarely uses more than 500MB in a month, has never had an upgraded handset and has been out of contract since May 2019. He is still paying £53 per month! I'm going to help him get a much better…

Keeping same number - but technically same provider
Hi. My contract with Vodafone runs out soon. I want to change to SIM only with LEBARA who use the Vodafone network. Will I be allowed to keep my own number using a PAC code. As you can see it is a different provider, but technically the same network. Thanks

How can I stop iPhones sharing images
I have an old iPhone (maybe a 6 or 7) which I only use when out and about kayaking or paddleboarding. There's a PAYG SIM inside. Now, I have received a hand-me-down iPhone 11 from my wife, which I have put in a cheap contract SIM. It has a good camera, so I tend to use that now to take images ... I note today though, that…
