Sky Porky Pies
All the time I was with Sky I had this issue on iPhone when trying to check if I had CallerID set to on or off. I called Sky about it many times and I search online only to find it is quite common, sadly all of the online suggestions of reboot your phone or put your phone in Airplane mode did not work, so I called Sky many…

O2 - Proof of Usage for Insurance Claim
I had the unfortunate luck of having my phone stolen recently, and to submit an insurance claim I need a proof of usage document, which O2 have provided but it's incorrect, leading to my insurance company requiring war and peace before they'll now consider my claim. I am now 24 days into trying to get a correct document…

WiFi Calling and 4G Calling (VoLTE)
Why do Lebara push WiFi Calling and 4G Calling (VoLTE) if you do not bother with it? I imagine with "4G Calling (VoLTE)" you might be running down your data, but what do they get from WiFi calling? A friend of mine set her phone to Wifi calling only to find it was incompatible with the County Court equivalent of conference…

Does Lebara think it does not have to comply with GDPR etc
My understanding of GDPR is that if I opt out of marketing then a company is supposed to stop sending me marketing messages. Service messages are fine. Since Lebara stopped taking payments and demoted me to PAYG it has been bombarding me with texts and emails, I got fed up with this as they seemed to arrive at all hours…

Should I use the same account at Lebara?
I ported away from Lebara as they would not allow an MSE deal on an expired offer. They told me to port it out to another provider and then come back via a new MSE offer, but some have reported that they are being a bit precious about port and comeback. So when I port back, should I use the same account I just left, which…

Do Spusu demand to Return the SIM?
I am planning to move to Spusu for a month and then return to Lebara I asked Google if they charge to exit and got the data below. What jumped out at me was this: SIM Return: If you cancel within the first month, you may be required to return the SIM card, or you might be charged. Has anyone here been asked to return a SIM…

A call to the States
I need to call a business number (landline) in the States, so I think that none of the services that use the internet would be of use. I'm hoping it will be just one call, but have no way of knowing how long it will be. As it will probably be just one call, I don't want to sign up for a service. I am with 1pMobile, and…

Lebara disappearing roaming countries
Hello, been using Lebara for a few years now [via one of the MSE exclusive deals 🙂] and have been happy with both the coverage and the use abroad, where they had a list of virtually all European countries that you could 'roam like at home' I've even used the phone in North America and in Asia by using the reasonably proced…

Mozillian 30GB/month for £108 upfront, 24 months
Is it wise to pay upfront for 24 months to get this deal? Can't seem to find any major complaints about Mozillian SIM deals. There's just the risk of the big upfront outlay. I seem to be considering it. 30GB is far more than I need but will cover the odd month I need more rather than relying on RWG add-ons at the moment.…

Lebara SIM went PAYG but for how long
I had a financially tight Christmas and my 2FA Lebara sim payment did not go through. I did not notice as it is not my main number, but to my surprise Lebara ended the contract. Second surprise was that the number still receives calls, so is effectively a PAYG. Lebara keep texting the number offering all kinds of deals I…

iphone from Tesco Outlet eBay store ?
Hi all, I am looking to get a replacement iPhone and have been looking for good second hand or refurbs with decent battery life and some warranty. I don't need the latest model so also looked at buying a brand new iPhone 13 for £399. But I've also now found the Tesco Outlet eBay store, which has some reasonable prices on…

Expat Roam Like at Home Restriction / Limit
Hi I have a giffgaff sim only to keep my UK mobile number, and I live in France. Giffgaff now say you have to use your mobile every 6 months in the UK otherwise you will be charged for roaming etc. Does anyone know of a UK Service Provider who doesn't have this policy? Thanks :)

EE to Lebara how long was your EE sim active after the port?
Ported from EE to Lebara which went as requested except a bit of a delay with the SIM which may have been Royal Mail at fault. Received the port in text and a follow up email a few minutes later, restarted the phone and yes it's ported but the EE sim is still active also. How long has your EE or other SIM been active after…

Sim that doesn't disconnect you?
I have an old pay and go sim from back when orange still existed. I get annoyed every now and then when I find out I can't receive a text I'm waiting for because I've been disconnected (which also seems to mean I lose any credit that was on the account). That's because I'm basically always connected to wifi and more or…

RWG So Bad
Bought £30 annual SIM July 2025 with RWG not been able to use for calls. Data and SMS ok, calls mostly dropout. Battling with them to sort it ever since. They sent replacement SIM still no calls. Everything they asked me to do doesn't work. Have it in Pixel 6, when I swapped the SIM into Samsung Galaxy phone, same…

iD Mobile £55 gift card refused – need advice
Hi all, Just wondering if anyone’s had any luck resolving this. I took out an iD Mobile SIM-only deal via the MoneySavingExpert link early last year that included a £55 gift card. I completed the purchase in one session via the MSE link, didn’t use any cashback site, and received the Giftcloud confirmation email at the…

Lebara Issues
Anyone had any issue with Lebara recently. My phone was suddenly barred on Tuesday. Managed to get through on webchat and was told there was a chargeback raised so they barred me. Checked with my bank - no chargeback. Three days later I am still barred and everytime I go to webchat I am told to wait 24 hours and it will be…

Plan.com - Adding on £30 caps without your approval + having caps but not following them.
Hello all, I've had issues with plan.com already (November 2024) where their data usage widget broke for 2 and 1/2 weeks and after having my phone cut from data usability on 22nd November 2024, I logged in and saw that I had only used 1.6gb of the 16gb limit. I rang them and after the young lady went to check she said…
