EE charging premium rate for relay calls
I have neurological problems which mean I cannot speak for much of the time and use the Relay U.K. app for making calls. Recently I tried to phone my local doctor but the call was immediately cut off, and I got a message from EE saying I’d reached my charge cap limit (which is zero). This made no sense because I have…

RWG's New Website, Plans and new Charges
RWG's new site has been up for a few days now and several of us have been having a few issues with a variety of things, so I thought it a good idea to start a new thread rather than have spurious comments spread over two other RWG threads. Logging in was my first problem. Although it obviously recognised my email address…

EE - added data no extra charge.
Background - once out of my initial contract I dropped down to a cheaper tariff that covered my needs. I settled on a 7gb monthly, unlimited calls and text. However the last three or four months I have been either using all my data or at least 80%. Complaint - I received a text on Saturday 22 Aug, advising I had used my…

Just dodged a SKY Mobile bullet
Sky might be wondering why a number of people did not complete the Sky mobile £59p a month deal (£1 a month with a £5 voucher in 4 months if no complications). As far as I am concerned this whole deal is just a data grab, first you have GiftCloud who want you to opt-in but they did not pre-tick, so all good there. Then on…

Lyca transfer esim
I am wondering if anyone has managed to transfer an eSim from one phone to another with Lyca? I spoke with customer services and she said I needed to buy another eSim for new phone and then somehow transfer old to new? Considering I have credit on the old esim and a deal which i bought literally 2 weeks ago this seems…

Talkmobile Amazon Voucher
Hi, earlier this year I took out a contract with Talkmobile via a link on this site that was supposed to give me an Amazon voucher after a few months and as yet some months after I was supposed to receive it I have not; has anyone else had this?

Which network
I'm still with EE and yet to change. My sim only contract ran out months ago, I don't want to be committed to another 24 months contract. My data runs out very quickly as I only have 5 gb. I'm looking for one of the cheaper networks who offer great prices with plenty data. I have been told that using Lebera, Lyca, Tesco,…

Is there a way to get round the Lebara deal for new customers only?
Asking on behalf of my mum, 81, who got confused has ended up paying more than she anticipated. I told my mum about the Lebara deal through MSN but she went and bought a SIM card for £1 and, with help, set up an account & ported in her old number and the cheapest PAYG plan she can get is £5 for 5G of data. She needs more…

Lebara Community
My mobile phone contract is with Lebara. A while ago there was a Lebara Community page where one could ask questions, make suggestions, etc, though it wasn't much used compared with other forums. For about the last week, attempting to access this produced a message that there were technical difficulties. For the past…

Anyone still on the completely free RWG plan?
I've been on the free (50/50/250mb) RWG plan for 5 years, but over the last year the service has become progressively more flaky, with incoming and outgoing connections failing regularly. I found myself unable to reply to a text last night so checked my allowance only to be told I have no allowances. Previous "chargeable'…

Mobile Coverage Maps Are Lying About City Centres
Across the UK, mobile coverage maps (including the MSE checker using Ofcom data) often show excellent coverage in city centres. Phones back this up by displaying strong 4G/5G signal — so everything appears fine. The real issue is congestion. In busy areas, mobile data can become effectively unusable even though the signal…

Signal strength
Hi, Just been comparing sim only deals and included the signal checker in the results. My best signal is with EE but Vodafone gets 3 bars and 3 gets 2 bars. As Vodafone and 3 have merged and now share masts, surely the signal should be the same on both?

Hi. I got the 35g Lebara sim through MSE sometime last year. The cost went up last month. I was wondering if I get it again can I get the pac number from lebara for the new sim even though im staying with Lebara. I know you can for a different network but does it work the same if I'm staying with lebara but just changing…

Warning about Lebara and Google phones!
Signed up for one of the deals here on MSE but can’t get 5g. Phone is 5g compatible and works fine on 5g with Vodafone sim, but won’t work with Lebara, which uses Vodafone’s network. Lebara customer service says there is no 5g in our area!. Tried to explain there is no 5g anywhere with their sim. They are looking into it,…
