Virgin to O2 migration - monthly rolling contract 1 year on
I was previously on a Virgin SIM only deal paying about £8 per month. When migrating to O2 I was put on their most closely matched deal at the same tariff as I’d paid at Virgin. It now appears that the way that the tariff was matched was by applying a discount which, after 12 months, disappears and the deal reverts to the…

I'm currently on Smarty but the deal is coming to an end and ID mobile is the next cheapest one for unlimited data (I'm using it instead of a home broadband as I often need a lot of data away from home and don't want to pay 2 internet bills - my usage is anywhere…

Questions about using UK phones abroad on holiday.
Early next year we are going on a cruise departing from Florida and visiting some of the Caribean islands. I assume as a starting point our UK phones (1P Mobile and O2) either won't work, or will cost a fortune in roaming charges? The ship claims to have wifi. If we put the phones into airplane mode (to disable normal…

EE - Constant Mast Failures + Awful Customer Service

Help with an old MSE deal
I took out an O2 MSE deal last year which was £7 a month on a 12 months contract - a bit more now due to the annual price increase. At the time I thought it was a discount and would increase at the end of the contract, so I have been looking at the current talk mobile offer instead. Just been into the O2 shop and they…

RWG won't phone out
Just trying to make a call from our two RWG (spare) phones before we get too near to the SIM cancel dates, and for some reason the calls won't connect. Managed to send (some, not all, some failing) texts and look at Google maps on one phone but no Internet connection on the other. Is it 3 or 6 months, we're just within 3…

10 Mobile PAYG Credit Top up
I look after my elderly mothers mobile phone account. She's a very very light user, with no need for texts or Data. She'll make one call every week or two. 1p Mobile seems the best for her. I top up £10 every 120 days using my card. I've just received an email saying it's time to top up £10, but noticed she has £20 credit.…

This trick stated that I wouldn't have to actually use the SIM. Having done this…

Lebara Referrals don't get paid.
I was happy with this company until I referred a friend in December last year. My reward is still "pending" despite my friend having signed up months ago. Their customer service is rubbish, the woman on the live chat just tried to fob me be telling me to read the website. After I pointed out I'd done all that and just…

I am happy with Lebara and the plan - but have not had the £40 nor can I find evidence of this in the email that confirms my purchase. Can anyone advise the best way to chase this up? The…
