RWG £15 Deal (100/100/750) No Longer Available
It looks as though the £15 deal with free monthly allowances is no more.

Wondering how long it will stay for those of us already on the deal.

Asda 3GB Data Plan
I have an Asda paygo sim that at present I just use for calls but I was thinking on using it to read emails and get data when I'm away from my wifi so if I get a 3GB Asda Data plan what happens if I use all the data in that month does it just stop until I put more money on or will it keep racking up charges?

The Golden Rule of Customer Services & Great Customer Service from 3
TLDR: The golden rule of dealing with customer services is simple. You are talking to a fellow human being who spends significant time every day subjected to blame, abuse, and tantrums that are due to circumstances entirely beyond their control, that they are not in any way responsible for.

PAC transfer to Lyca - When does it complete?
Signed up recently for the "MSE 2" deal with Lyca as the price seemed decent. I'm not totally sure about the Lyca website which was glitchy during the purchase.

Latest Android version
An online search showed that the latest version is 12. But when I look on my phone it says version 10. When I look under System Updates, it says Your software is up to date (version 10). Is this because different models use different versions of Android. My phone is a Motorola Power 7.
