WhatsApp on iPhone
Friend has sent me a photo via WhatsApp that I’d like to use on my phone as her WhatsApp profile. However, as far as I can determine, although I can use that photo in my contacts I’m not able to set it as her WhatsApp profile photo, only she can set that. Is that correct?

Cancelling Icloud & Spotify for Prime
Am trying to weigh up the pros and cons of cancelling our Icloud and spotify subscriptions and taking out the annual prime membership.

Sky packages or go elsewhere?
My sky package finishes tomorrow .Has been costing me almost £60.00 pm without TV, but including international calls which is useful as we are on the border. I have managed to negotiate then down to £38.00 keeping the international calls or £24.50 per month without. The £38.00 package with calls would probably be best, but…

Vodafone/Now
Looking at moving away from BT as my contract is up in a few days and I'm paying way over the odds and they don't seem to want to come down much. It appears that Vodafone and Now Broadband offer some of the cheaper deals at the moment, so any thoughts on them please? Or reasons I should stay away from either/both?

Unlimited landline calls without the 60 minute limit?
All of the "unlimited" call bundles seem to have a 60 minute limit on the calls and if you tip over, you're billed for the whole call. Is anyone aware of any companies which don't have this limit please? It would be good for my aged mother to know that she can just keep talking to her friends and family without worrying…

VOIP Back up.
It seems most Broadband providers are turning to full fibre, at least if you want a decent deal. This involves removing copper cable so fixed landlines no longer work in event of powercut. I did look at Vodafone, they said nothing available as back up. Talktalk initially said they could supply a 'back up box'. This would…

BT Broadband - Do they have a "win back" team?
We've reached the end of our 24M contract with BT. We paid £34.99 at the start for Fibre 100 and now pay £39.xx due to the RPI increases. New customers are getting Fibre 500 for £30.99 a month but the best they will offer me is the Fibre 100 for £34.99 again. I called to cancel, they wouldn't budge and said if I found a…

I have used 18185 for years without a problem. But recently my PC was hacked and I've had to change passwords for all my logins, except for one: 18185.
