Beware of SMARTY. Be smarter.
There are a lot of good MNVOs with good customer service, rolling contracts and good account management systems (online or on an app). Using the MSE comparison tool has been great getting deals for Lebara (Vodafone). I would caution people using Smarty though. On initial inspection, Smarty has "good" reviews online, but…

BT Mobile to EE switch - be wary of recontracting / EU roaming change
I called BT to see if I could renegotiate my fibre broadband price. No go there as it’s still in contract. Unprompted by me the BT advisor then said that he’d noticed I had a BT Mobile SIM only plan (I use it for data only in a 4G mobile router) and that as BT were switching all BT Mobile users to EE, he’d arrange that…

Asda SIM card free £40 voucher deal - how set auto renew?
I recently saw a deal/trick via the MSE site to get a free '£19' ASDA voucher if I clicked through the link to purchase a £7 per month SIM and make sure I set it to auto renew for 3 months -then receiving a £40 asda voucher after this period. This trick stated that I wouldn't have to actually use the SIM. Having done this…

EE - Feels like a no-brainer...
I'm out of contract on a SIM-only deal but with loyalty bonuses attached. Looking at the options available the best 2yr is either £20/mth for 125Gb or £10/mth for 25Gb (both with "stay connected" data and it can be gifted across the account) or for £22/mth it's 35Gb with one "extra"... but looking at the 1mth deals I can…

Lebara mobile unread voicemails deleted after 48 hours - anyone else experience this?
Hi All, I received a voicemail on my phone which I didn't pick up (ie listen to) until a little over 48 hours. I did my normal 121 on the phone and the voice said there were no new voicemails. I knew that the voicemail was real as I spoke to the person who left it since then. This is very odd - I have never lost a…

Existing Lebara users outside of contract
I've got a Lebara sim and my 12 month initial offer has expired. To make use of their new deals and to keep my existing number, I take it I need to switch to another provider and port my number across and then port it back? Would switching to something like this for 30 days be okay and then re-joining Lebara work?

Do I need an address and bank account to get a PAYG phone contract?
My partner’s son is moving back to the UK after living in USA since he was a child. He has a phone but no permanent address (he’s starting off in Air BnB until he can find permanent housing) and no UK bank account. Would anyone know if it’s possible for him to pick up a SIM and get a PAYG bundle on one of the big networks…

RWG - poor customer service
I ported two numbers out from RWG to another network in January. However in March I noticed that I was still being charged for both numbers. I know I should noticed before then, but previously when I've ported out from other networks, they have stopped charging without any prompting. I contacted RWG, and they told me they…

EE mis-selling contract to OAP
F-i-l just got a new phone from EE in the shop and we think they've fleeced him. Gone from a Samsung to a Google Pixel 7a which he now can't work anything out on. Took about 3 hours in total in the shop (his old phone was next to dead & they kept ignoring him) He's being charged £42.60 a month for 25GB and basically uses…

Does anyone know how to enable this? The message I get is: "Verification codes cannot be sent to this phone number at this time.…
