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…

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…

Hi, I am due to move house soon to a house that currently has Virgin. As I understand it, my broadband provider will be able to change my line to a BT Openreach one but what about my TV? Would I need an tv aerial engineer to fit an aerial and appropriate cables I assume?

Freeview recorder - with remote app scheduling - any available?
I have a Humax BT YouView box that allows me to set recordings remotely via my smartphone using the BT TV App. It's probably the best feature of the box. A friend of mine has an old TalkTalk YouView box that doesn't allow this. Are there any non-BT boxes that have this feature - or is it just going to be eBay to get a…

Can BT add up?
Catching up on my admin at the end of May, I noticed that a recent BT bill did not add up. The two services came to a lower total than the amount charged, by the princely sum of 3p. I called BT and they said they would investigate, let me know what had happened and refund the difference. None of that has happened so far.…

BT digital voice
I live in a rural area and power cuts are common here in winter. After storms, it has been off for days. Because of this, I keep a corded landline plugged in. I never use it apart from during power cuts but it gives me peace of mind that I could call for help if my mobile runs out of battery. I recently decided to switch…

I'm a simple bloke so have never needed an all singing, all dancing mobile. These Moto mid ranges do me just fine. I had my Moto G9 Plus stolen recently. I want to buy the new G62 but I can't find the 'Frosted Blue' phone anywhere. Even Motorola themselves admit they don't know when they'll be getting any in stock. Anyone…

Can I mix Virgin for broadband, and Now for landline phone?
I have an inexpensive broadband and anytime calls landline with NowTV broadband, 6 months into a 1 year contract.

Could I run Virgin…
