    Has anyone tried any of the O2 deals via MSE? I getting a "something went wrong" message at O2's end.
    Something's weird about MSE and O2 apparently. If you filter for O2 and click All Deals, there are no deals, at any level of usage. But under All Deals, Bingo! 12mnths, 10 GB data, £5 pm. Seems pretty good to me. Roaming incl of course. The click-through form MSE worked for me too, today.

    Yes, it didn't seem to like the Brave browser but Chrome (on which Brave is built) was fine. I've already moved over from Sky mobile with the 10GB/£5 deal just in time for the local mast to have an engineer up it :( but it's sorted now.

    Ex Plusnet customer here, I have just switched to Vodafone sim only , 12 month contract 25gb unlimited calls and texts,£8 PM, put sim card in this morning, signal is varying from poor to fair, calls ok and texts out, not receiving texts in, apart from one from Vodafone,tried most of the fixes, still not working, doubt I could live with the poor signal strength. If I cancel within 14 days what is the notice period, is it 30 days?

    If you cancel within 14 days (if it was an online/phone purchase?) then there's no notice period, you'll only pay for those days used (and any data over 25GB). Don't cancel any DD in place. 

    Have you swapped your mobile number to Vodafone? Hopefully you'll have made sure you are happy (or not) with the service before switching your number. If not you'll need to PAC that number away before cancelling.

    Anyone recommend a provider for the wife who is currently  on Plusnet £8 a month plan. Got a few requirements.

    1) needs to be on EE network.
    2) needs included fair use EU roaming.
    3) around the same price, unlimited texts and calls, 5gb data.
    4) ability to set usage spending caps.

    Not finding much.

    I have just moved to Lebara from Plusnet (as I don't like the offerings from EE now that PN is closing its mobile service). It was advertised that my service would include 'wifi calling'.The setting showed under Plusnet (even though it wasn't enabled on their service) but the setting is no longer there now I am on Lebara. I have contacted an agent and on querying how long it would be before it was available to me I got the answer... "It could be days or weeks or months."

    Sounds like mis-advertising to me as it was one of the selling points for their deals. 

    I am putting this out there as a warning to users who like me, live in a generaly poor mobile area (all networks) and was opting for wifi calling to make the signal better.
    Google Pixel device?  I'm stuck in the same boat, waiting for Google to merge a fix.

    Nothing there that meets the requirements. Only Three and Vodaphone network based.

    1pMobile are very good and you get 4gb of data, unlimited texts and calls for £7.50 per month with one of their "boosts". Their website is a pleasure to behold and everything works just great. https://www.1pmobile.com/
