Mobile Phones

more £300 than £400

Does £300 get you much more than £200?

I'd get a Moto G8 Plus or spend more and wait for the new Pixel, or buy an iPhone for the camera. Not convinced anything in between is worth it.

Pixel 4a?

So you get your phone to do the crashing for you these days? Sounds safer. :)

Much!

Any suggestions for a feature phone that can run WhatsApp? I want to detox but need WhatsApp for work. I’ve found the Nokia 8110 but i hate the sliding design.

Any tips?

hate the design

wrong...

In all seriousness, KaiOS is the operating system that has WhatsApp support, so should help a search. Nokia 2720 if you're into the flip. Think they did a 4G version of the 3310 reboot too. Lots get made but don't make it to the UK market because lack of demand.

That’s really helpful. Thanks

Anyone getting rid of a mobile phone, android and dual sim.

Hey, I got a Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite in mint condition, £170. PM me if interested.

Cheers!

What’s the current thinking on SIM only. Is giffgaff still a forum favourite?

I liked 3. No bullshit rules

Thanks, will check 3 out.

Anyone with an existing contract? Sometimes there are cheaper deals for recommendations or second SIMs, etc.

(I'm on EE with a £20/month SIM that comes with 160GB of data so I was able to get her the cheapest £9/month SIM and then gift her a load of data each month as I never use all of mine.)

My wife’s with EE and they’re closing her current deal. I’m with O2 on a business sim so can’t do that kind of thing, thanks for the idea though, might be useful to others.

Just had a laughable experience with EE.

I have an esim with them because I have a physical sim for when we’re in France.

Got a new phone today and they’ve stopped doing QR code esim transfer.

They’re literally POSTING me a QR code so i can transfer my number.

Until then, my new phone is a brick. Jokers.

Yeah, had the same thing with O2 last year. Guy on support didn’t seem to get why I was bemused by the idea of posting a QR code 🤦‍♂️

It’s insane.

Especially as, when my wife switched phones LITERALLY TWO MONTHS AGO they just shared a QR on the app.

Wankers.

What’s their reasoning? Preventing 2FA jacking?

Apparently lots of customers had issues with using the QR through the site / app.

Can’t imagine what those issues were, in comparison to having to wait for it to be posted out.

I have a Iphone Pro12 and I've just smashed the glass on the back of it.
Looks like its going to cost £266?!? Is that right?

Not much going on here, but this is the place to ask: my FiL’s phone is crap, especially in sunlight, so is there a recommended e-ink thing out there that's viable and buyable?

any issues with using giff gaff as a mobile provider ? £10 month contract and phone
is there a cheaper simpler way of doing things ?

None at all, they use O2 network and are well established

Who are you currently with? Tell them you want to leave for giffgaff and they'll try to compete on price. Mine is something stupid like £6 per month.
