Newest Review: ... emergencies. I hear a lot of people say that pay as you go is a lot cheaper than a contract phone, well that obviously depends how much you use your phone. I was on pay as you go a couple of years ago & for the amount of texts I sent & phone calls I made I was spending nearly £100 a month which is pretty outrageous. So moving on to Orange. I've had a bad experience with Orange which ... more

I think over the years I've probably been on every network that exists so hopefully I've got a pretty good opinion on which is good & which isn't not mentioning any names (T Mobile). So we might as well start with one of the really big mobile networks & that's Vodafone. The last contract I had was with Vodafone & the only reason I changed was because it ran out & I found a marginally cheaper deal but if I hadn't have found that I would have been more than happy to stay with Vodafone. The signal strength seems to be great everywhere I go, you've always got at least 3 bars out of 6 at all times, there's no weak areas unless maybe ...  Read the complete review

I work for the mobile network T-Mobile in the business sector, and want to share my knowledge of how to cut your bills, check you are on correct price plan and other services you can use. First thing, I am not biast in my network choice, I simply work for the company and know how they work, I agree that sometimes customers are not happy with us like all networks, and in various parts of the UK the network will not be good. First thing is, check your price plan is the right one to suit your needs. We have so many calls now where customers and business alike are trying to cut back anywhere they can due to the credit crunch. The best way to check ...  Read the complete review

Here are some tips I thought I’d share when it comes to choosing and using mobile phone networks and price plans. These are the questions to consider in order to decide what is right for you. It is difficult to get the deal which works out to be the cheapest for you but here goes! I’m just going to look at it from a personal user point of view as most business users don’t pay their own bill. Also if you are a current user there are ways of reducing your bills. HOW MUCH ARE YOU GOING TO USE THE PHONE? Firstly, is the phone intended for emergency use only? This is very rare since most people I know always end up using their phone much more ...  Read the complete review

In November last year the UK law changed on Telecommunications and Telephone number porting (transfer). This used to take upto 30 days but now 5 days and (supposedly) no hassle. You are now able to take your mobile phone number with you easily from one operator to another. Or also from one retailer (on the same network) to another. For Example: If you wish to move your telephone number simply contact your service provider and request your PAC code. This number is valid for 30 days from when you notify your network and it should be sent to you in the mail for your records and to make sure you have the correct number. Find the ...  Read the complete review
