Low user O2 sim-only - should I switch to Spusu?
I've been with O2 for some years and I spend very little: my increased latest monthly fee is £4.06. However, O2 emailed to mention I could leave within the next 30 days for no penalty. On the MSE site, there is a cheaper sim-only offer from Spusu whom I'd not heard of which uses the EE network. Their offer is £2.90/month…

Pixel 5, 4G calling, SIM only deal wanted.
I'm currently on Lebara and since Vodafone's 3G switch off I've suffered from poor quality calls. Lebara don't support 4G calling for my Pixel 5 so I'm looking for a new provider. Spusu only do 4G for iPhone and some Samsungs so they're out. Can anyone tell me if Smarty could be ok for me? 5GB a month is plenty and they…

Moving to smartphone
Most of what I need is based from PC and landline so I've managed with an old dumbphone PAYG Samsung as my mobile. I only pay about £4/month landline calls mostly using an over-ride number to bypass BT landline, and my mobile is mainly used for PIN numbers! However, more and more services require smartphones, so I was…

True PAYG, no "monthly plan"?
Hi everyone, I'm trying to find a good old fashioned PAYG deal. I need a sim card, to add £10 to it, then put it in a spare mobile phone for my Mum to use as an emergency phone in case something happens to hers. It may never get used, which is why I don't want a monthly SIM Only plan, which every provider seems to be…

How to cancel an old SIM
I have 2 mobile phones and 2
sims. I swapped the sim cards around. So Sim 1 (older) is in Phone 2 (newer
and not paid off Galaxy A33). Sim 2 (newer) is in Phone1 (older
and paid off Galaxy A40). Having talked to Tesco mobile
for a long time. It appears that, if I want to scrap Sim1 as I don’t really use
it, I have to pay…

Was a service provided if it hasn't been used?
Under UK consumer law, if I order a new mobile contract, do not activate the SIM, and then return it within 14 days, can the mobile company claim a pro-rata payment for the 14 day cooling off period?

THREE advertises plans without VAT - is that even legal?
Hi, I recently got myself a contract with Three for £22 per months, but when the first bill arrived, the charge was £26.40 - apparently the price advertised was without VAT, so the actual price was 20% higher.
