Broadband Switch Query
Dear Forumites, I'm currently coming to the end of a 12-month Broadband contract with Shell Energy (SE) on the 19th of August. It takes around 14 days for a switch to occur, so it seems the right moment to take advantage of the NOW Broadband deal, if I can't haggle the price down with SE. SE's most recent e-mail closed…

Landline call charge cap
I recently asked Now TV if they could set a call charge limit of £0 for a landline service, so any calls outside of the package would not be allowed/charged. A relative is quite fond of 1471-3 to call people back, not only is it 20p a throw, but dialling back random numbers isn't a great idea. Now TV couldn't set a…

iPhone acquired through the family - what to do?
My other half has been given a fairly recent model iPhone by d-i-l who has upgraded. With his current ancient iPhone 5, he has been having all kinds of trouble with Apple by way of continuous demands that he should 'log in to his Apple ID'. Forgotten passwords, lost email addresses, you name it. It seems that no amount of…

02 sim only
I was going to leave 02 but the guy in retentions offered a pretty good deal (for 02). £6 a month sim only (yearly contract though), unlimited texts and unlimited minutes, 4GB data. I know there are better deals around but for the sake of an extra £1 per month I decided to stick. My previous contract was 'refresh' so I can…

1471 gives my own number.
Just had a call on my land line claiming to be amazon, saying my card will be charged £550 for an iPhone13. Obivious scam as I don't have a card or account. I dialled 1471 to get a number to report it and the the system told me that the call was from my land line number. Has anyone else experienced this? (I see there was a…
