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…

Help. SIM Only for OAP not on Internet
MY 77 year-old friend has an O2 PAYG Mobile. She’s recently been in Hospital and it’s
costing her plus it's not easy for her to top-up. I suggested she’d save a lot by getting a SIM only
contract. Problems. She wants to stay with O2 (Why I don't know) She only uses calls and texts. No data requirement. She is not on the…

Downgrade 02 sim contract tariff
Hi, I am on a 2-year O2 contract sim - 150gb paying £21 a month. I will like to know if its possible to downgrade my data tariff as my monthly data usage rarely exceed 30gb a month since I got the contract. I tried to the app and I can only upgrade to unlimited.

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…

Porting number to Asda Mobile

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. Obviously this is massive inconvenient, as been using my number for over 10 years. Even had difficulty with text authentication when login to…

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…

Triangle Port Voda - out - Voda
I'm currently on Voda pay monthly sim due to come out of contract.I'm looking to stay with voda and looking for the best way (cheapish) to do this.

Best value PAYG Sim?
What's the best value PAYG Sim? I'm currently with ASDA (which uses Vodaphone but they used to use EE) and their price is currently 4p per minute to make a call to a landline or other mobile but as of the end of September it's going up to 15p per minute ........ which seems absolutely extortionate to me. I rarely use the…
