Leaving and returning to o2
I've been with o2 for years and I'm out of contract. The signal is terrible everywhere but I use o2 Priority heavily. The issue is with the forthcoming price rise I will be paying triple what I am being offered as a new customer. I've spoken with customer services and they won't come close to matching it. So my question is…

Lebara porting issues
Signed up with the latest Lebara deal last week and am having no end of porting problems. My number was supposed to have moved on Monday, got an email on Tuesday saying it had completed. Still cannot receive any calls. Texts out and in show the old number. Only saving grace is data seems to be working ok. Have contacted…

Thinking of switching to utility warehouse - any used their £400 early contract end feature
If you bring energy, broadband and mobile to UW they say they will refudn up to £400 early contract termination charges on the mobile or broadband. I am not currently in a mobile contract but thinking if I take out a handset contract with a total term payable of £400 before switching to UW then effectively I will get a…

Sky Mobile order cancelled
Tried to sign up for Sky Mobile today and my order was cancelled immediately, citing credit checks and giving no more detail. Called them up and they said it was because I'd tried to follow a uSwitch link that was outdated. Put it through again over the phone, and it was cancelled again. The same reason. As far as I can…

Cheapest useable 4G smartphone needed
I have recently switched the sim I use as an emergency back up to giffgaff pay as you go for very occasional use. However, I have the sim in an old Motorola phone running Android 5 which is now so slow as to be virtually unusable. Does anyone have any recommendations for a newer more usable phone around £50 to £60, eg Moto…

Can I complain about CISAS?
I logged a complaint with CISAS about O2. I provided a mountain of information. They asked me for some more information (even though I had already provided it). I provided it. They then came back and asked for more information, which I again provided. After about a week I hadn't heard anything back so I sent a chase…

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…

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…

Lebara WIFI calling - warning
We recently signed up for the cheap Lebara sim-only deal on the back of the information sent out on the MSE weekly e-mail. As we live in a rural area and have no mobile signal in the house, it's imporatant for us to have wi-fi calling so that we can make and receive calls at home. We had this facility with our previous…

Dumb Smart Phone for travelling in Italy
Hope this is the correct forum. We'll be visiting Rome and Venice in April and obviously have heard of all the pickpockets etc. Thinking of ways to minimise disruption if the worst happens. Our current smart phones have all our train tickets/banking etc on them so keen to keep those out of sight and tethered inside our…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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 :)
