18185
Using 18185 and since going to be switch to digital voice will need to use the access code 08081703703. Anybody using this service? I do not think it is fair you have to pay as soon as the phone is ringing or engaged! Is there any other option? Thanks
Alternative to Sky
Its that time of the year (well 18 months) when I have to negotiate with sky for a new better deal. Thing is, after today I'm really losing the will to live and haven't got the energy to play the game to get the better deal. note I'm autistic so phone calls aren't my comfort zone and they're even harder as we transfer to…
Data sim recommendations
I've a friend using a 4g router, who doesn't want / need a broadband connection as future accommodation plans are uncertain. They are using more data than I expected however. Any recommendations for a data sim? I'd prefer open-ended usage rather than a 30 day limit. Argos do an EE one with 120Gb valid for 12 months for…
Is 61054 free on Asda mobile bundles?
Are 61054 and other short numbers free on Asda mobile bundles?
BT made a sensible change to logins but did it badly
BT, quite rightly, have separated the logins for your account or your email, which makes things more secure ( it is now bt.com/login or bt.com/email ).However, both invoke sign-in screens which look identical.Not only that, they have removed the ability to click to view the password and check you have entered it correctly…
Cancelling Apple TV sub after day of payment paid(today)

18185 and digital voice
Switching to digital voice can you still use 18185? Thanks
New Virgin Customer - wish to cancel - impossible to do on the phone!
Hello, we have had Virgin TV and broadband installed in the last few days. For many reasons, we have come to the conclusion that it’s not for us and we want to cancel as soon as possible! I am in my 14 day cooling off period (day 2 actually!). However, after speaking to them on the phone for nearly an hour - they simply…
No landline - south Warwickshire
I have no functioning landline and I'm wondering if anyone else in this area is affected? I have a neighbour with the same problems but trying to see how far the problem stretches to. Thanks
VoIP phone sound quality problem Pllycom VVX350
Having a problem with a Polycom VVX350 phone which just has a very dull sound whether via handset or speaker. I don't know if they are all like that but there is more treble on a landline. Cannot find any settings to adjust tone or internal sound quality. Any suggestions?
Virgin Media contract ends in June. Sign up to Sky now or later?
I'm looking to leave Virgin Media as my introduction offer is ending soon so my price is jumping up a lot. I'm currently being offered Sky Stream + Sky Sports + 500Gb broadband for £64/month. My Virgin Media contract ends on 6th June so I'm wondering whether I should sign up to a Sky deal now or wait a bit?
Can I still cancel my Virgin services
I noticed this month that my direct debit was around 15 pounds more than usual, and when I called VM they said that from April there's been a price increase. I tried to give my 30 days notice to quit my contract but was told that I couldn't as I had missed the deadline and that I still have 10 months remaining on my…
Virgin TV 360 box and negotiating a new contract.
My current contract with Virgin expires July, 2024. They've emailed me, offering a new contract, which I think I'll decline and re-negotiate nearer the end of my current contract, What they are doing is offering a Virgin TV 360 box. I currently have a V6 box. Does this mean all the programmes I've recorded would be…
Complete technophobe needs help please.
Embarrassingly I am completely useless when it comes to Sky packages/broadband etc. Son has just moved out so I need to ger rid of what I dont need and get what I do need so would love some advice. At the moment I have a Sky package which is approaching £90 a month and I want rid. We had 2 boxes so son could watch in his…
Sky TV
I’m a Sky VIP Diamond customer and been with them for 18 years. Today I tried to haggle with them and ended up getting Sky Cinema and Netflix removed which resulted in a £5 per month saving! Not such a good deal I think. Would it be worth contacting them in a few days to renegotiate?

Lost call history
Have been trying to get my last 12 months mobile call history from Lebara for about 3 weeks now. They have sent what they are saying is my complete call history with huge gaps ie between Aug and Dec it shows I only made 14 calls despite usually making on average 3 or 4 calls a day. No one calls me back despite all…
New install, 14 days cooling off starts when?
I ordered, through a comparison site, Onestream Supreme Full Fibre 80, on behalf of my 80+ year old aunty. I have her account set up on my home pc to keep an eye on things for her. The deal we signed up for, was something like £22/m plus about £10/m for router, phoneline & minutes. I am gobsmacked to find the total on her…
Mis-sold? Prestige Telecoms
I received a call from Prestige Telecoms getting me into a 36 month contract. Wasnt give full information prior to signing contract & what they said on the phone differs to there terms and conditions. Less than 24hours if signing I called to cancel, they said I cant as they dont offer a 14 day cool off period. I explained…
Sky Talk Call Shambles
Following notification that my mother's call package (Sky Talk Evenings & Weekends) was going up by nearly 40% she decided to upgrade her call package to Sky Talk Anytime Extra which made more sense financially as it was going up by less than her current package and represented better value. Mum upgraded on 21/3/24 and…
