End of Contract
Hi I'm coming to the end of my contract with EE, and was looking at getting the new IPhone 12, but here's the issue I have, if I get an upgrade I'm paying more than I would if I just went for an additional line on the old contract and kept both phones.

Cheap landline without broadband
I'm thinking of moving to fibre to property broadband and so won't need the phoneline and broadband. But as we do sometimes get power cuts I don't want to get rid of the landline. (Mobile reception is not good, so I don't own one.) I was hoping I could find a cheap phone only landline package but it seems this isn't…

So I'm trying to deal with couple of issues here for a vulnerable retired family member in their 80's. In August they phoned up to cancel their package as it was costing far more than they needed.

Catch-Up becoming unusable
Having just bought a new PVR to replace the old one which broke, I now find I'm having to separately register for each catch-up like iPlayer, itvHub and so on. It's aggravating enough to go through the rigmarole to register : you have to give intrusive information (I just lie and tell them rubbish - why on earth do they…

Since joining Vodafone broadband in early September, my details have been included in the BT directory and via directory enquiries.

NowTV broadband and calls
I signed up earlier this year for NowTV broadband and calls and I pay extra per month for anytime calls. I looked at my bill for this month and discovered that some calls were being charged as extras.
