Awful format for this forum
I have no intention of continuing to use such a cumbersome, inferior and non-user friendly format as the one now here. On the day I apparently become a "Fantastically Fervant MoneySaving Super Fan" (whatever that may be) and to the joy of some and (possibly) the disappointment of others I will therefore no longer use it.…

Success story: EE £8pm 50GB
Made this account to share my recent success with getting a better deal with EE. I was reading the MSE page on haggling, and saw the part that mentioned that I could text INFO to 85075 to find out when my contract ends. I got an automated reply, rather than about when my contract ends, but instead about the charges for…

Currently offering 50% off your next 6 months worth of bills: so £2.50 pm for next 6 months then up to £5 - which is still cheaper than I was paying with current…

Have Lyca silently shifted all 1p MSECH3GB tariffs to 49p?
While logging in to check my remaining bandwidth on a 1p SIM (still in its 1st month since activation), I noticed that the account's tariff (MSECH3GB) is now described as 49p for 6m, £4.90 thereafter. Is this just a visual glitch on the website caused by the old 1p MSECH3GB deal being pulled? Or have Lyca, without…

Hi Maybe this is the way things will progress with mobile. Unlimited everything but a choice of speed cap. 2Mb/s for casual browsing. 150Mb/s for streaming HD video. And 10Mb/s for in between.

Three's eSIM delay - how I was compensated £400
It is clear on social media, particularly Twitter, that a large number of Three customers are frustrated by Three's delay in launching eSIM (embedded SIM) support. I will explain below how Three had to compensate me for half of the £549 purchase price of my new iPhone SE 2020, which I purchased from Apple, plus £125, total…

Cheapest SIM only contract on the market? Sky SIM only 1gb for £1/month
I've been looking out for decent low data SIM only packages and found the Sky Mobile SIM only deal for £1/month for 12 months with unlimited texts and calls. It even comes in cheaper than Lyca, iD, Spusu and Lebara's best deals at the moment. You also get the MySky perks thrown in e.g. free Taste the Difference pizza from…

PAC during cooling off period??
I see a couple of recent threads that relate to customers wanting to switch networks a few days after taking out a contract… Why on earth do folks not pick up a cheap PAYG SIM and try the proposed network for coverage etc. before committing to a 12 month (or longer) contract? There are only 4 networks (soon to be 3), plus…

EU Roaming, Lebara vs RWG
Just a data point for those interested in EU roaming. I've spent 2 months in France, Spain and Italy with a dual SIM phone, one Lebara, one RWG SIM. The good news is that basically both worked well in all locations I used them. However, there were some interesting differences. The RWG SIM was using 5G most of the time,…

LycaMobile Users: Had card fraud/attempted card fraud recently?
I signed up for a LycaMobile plan in March 2024, I used a virtual card created exclusively for LycaMobile and even named it Lyca, cancelling it after my purchase. While travelling this week, Monzo alerted me that a company, Hamilton Hardly Publish, had performed an active card check on the card. Followed the next morning…

DO NOT TRUST THEM! I would NOT TRUST this company an inch with your money, or your phone! Ordered a phone on 9th March. Emailed them SIX MINUTES later to cancel order. Emailed them again with cancel requests at least three times over the following week but got nothing but standard replies. They sent the phone on 21st…

Report Overcharging Issue with Lebara 3GB MSE Exclusive Monthly Plan
I recently signed up to the above plan for £0.99. But as soon as the automatic renewal kicked in, I was charged £4.40 rather than the MSE deal price. It took me a couple of months to realise I was overcharged. I rang up and got a refund. Apparently, there is a technical glitch in their system. So do check your payment…

Recycled Mobile Phone Number
I just wanted to pop a warning to everyone changing their number. 5 months ago my son got a new phone and with that a new number with Sky. Since then he's had so many messages for the previous owner of the number. * Solicitors to who this man owes money to * Debt collection agencies (around 4 or 5 of them) * Umbrella…
