GiffGaff on iPhone - some online apps not working on data
My son has an iPhone (couple of years old) and is using a GiffGaff sim. At home, connecting to Wi-Fi everything works well. Away from home he can call, text and his location app works as I can see his whereabouts when I’m at home. However, Google, AppStore, and online games do not work. I have put his SIM card in my phone…

Vodaphone Homephone Adapter - Received
As I only have a broadband service with them, they sent me an adapter just today, although, I don't have a home phone. Is there any point in sending it back when I didn't ask for this in the first place. I don't want to be charged further down the line, nor be hassled for another service from them. Does anyone have this…

Virgin Media fake usage charges and fallout
Hello all, I wonder if I could please beg some advice. • Sat 15 July: Virgin Media suspend services, no warning. Call them and find out I have 'unbilled usage charges on phone'.

Lebara and call forwarding
Having moved loads of phones to Lebara I now find they don't support call forwarding, which would have been nice to know in advance as it's pretty important for one of the phones. They say, and I quote, "The team is working on it but we do not have the update as when it will
be launched." Is there any way of knowing which…

Ex using my address to obtain a new phone contract
My ex left 6 months or so ago. But very recently I discovered this person used my address to obtain a new phone contract. They are on the electoral roll for the address. Obviously to pass a credit check they must have done this. However I am unhappy that they used my address when they should not have. Could this be a…

Best deals to new customers or same deals to all customers
Did I dream that companies can not offer better deals to new customers than existing customers. I'm on a monthly mobile contract and was happy with it until I saw much better deals offered to attract new customers. Can I insist on having one of the deals they are offering to new customers.
