    Unfortunately, your A70 does not appear on Spusu's list of compatible WiFi phones.

    I have found that they are pretty quick to respond to WhatsApp messages.

  • Had a £4.24 SIM deal with EE used to be £4 but a 24p increase for both of us I took as par for the course, but yesterday without warning I got a text thanking me for updating my package? Haven't done that I thought I might have been hacked, turned out it was worse! On contacting EE I was informed my wife's SIM and mine had automatically been changed to £19 each as BT was updating it's system and there was nothing that they could do about it. I asked to be sent our PAC codes so I could look elsewhere as a several 100's percent increase is just unacceptable.
    After an hour of trawling the internet a few promising options later I get a call from the EE department I was told did not exist haha I thought customer retentions ! After confirming the new terms on a £6 a month deal I agreed to stay but now locked in a 24 month contract. I confirmed we had a 14 day cooling of period and no exit fees. I accepted this as we had been told we had no choice if we wanted to stay on EE at this price. I am still looking for a good low user deal as on reviewing the contract it will go up to £8.50 end March and £11 the year after, which was not made clear when taking the retention deal. Does anyone have any suggestions other than Vodafone as their signal is not good in my area, thanks.

    You don't mention how much data you use or have contracted for but 1p Mobile (EE) have 4GB for £6/mth (rolling contract).

    Exactly the same has happened to me today.  Been with EE quite happily for 8 years with a SIM only deal for two phones, mine and my wife's.  Over the years the price increased to £14.35 per month for each phone and I only realised when I checked my bank account today that one phone had suddenly increased to £18 per month.  Phoned EE, said that a 26% price rise was unacceptable and I was thinking of leaving as no doubt they would increase the price of the other phone.  I'm out of contract but after I told them I could get the same facilities elsewhere for £6.90 a month the best they offered was £15 a month per phone on a 24 month contract.  Am researching SPUSU who piggy back on EE. Looks good from up to date reviews.  £6.90 a month on a monthly rolling contract with identical facilities as EE.  Looks like it will be bye bye EE!

    I've moved to Mozillion who use the EE network. Worth a look, they have some really good deals and they don't throttle the data speed
