    Okay I'll have a look but think I'lll end up with a second line on 02

     

    Took out a second line with O2 and have received an additional 10% discount however, on my new latest sim I cannot call abroad (both phone I have spending cap set at zero), so I called customer service and they explained that tariff includes roaming within the EU but not to the EU from the UK, which is NOT what I was told, I absolutely made sure of this and also queried then how is it that my other phone with same tariff allows calls to the EU from the UK, only explanation I got was that it must be a glitch! So although in general I was happy with O2 I will probably end up moving my second line now because I need to be able to calls friends in the EU. I appreciate that I can call using WiFi and WhatsApp etc but I need ability to also use the network when no WiFi is available.

    Apologies Lebara runs on Vodafone network, most of the info is on their website. Check the coverage for your area though. 

    We get poor signal in  our area on most networks,  we choose this one as was the best one for us, is also got WiFI Calling (VoLTE) that works very well using your own home wifi.

    They are cheap, not had any issues so far but with the short contracts you can at least test and then leave it its no good for you.

    I looked at Lebara but reviews were poor, unless you tell me different. 

    Also Lebara have some ridiculously low prices ie 1GB data unlimited calls/text £3.95 per month (only £1.58 for the first 3 months) or 5gb data unlimited calls/texts £4.95 e (£1.98 cheaper for the first 3 months and are only 1 month contracts).

     

    How do you find their service and network?

    i use Lebra which is on the EE network, plans include international minutes.

    looks like you get a good deal on O2 though

    I looked at Lebara but reviews were poor, unless you tell me different? Also are you sure their plans include international minutes because I am reading offers for 100 mins or 500 international mins or are you referring to calls made to the EU from the UK and within the EU? (Assuming international minutes that I am referring to mean outside of the EU.)

  5. I have a couple of phones (work and personal) I have iPhone 12 and iPhone 8 both now out of contract so chose to go 'Sim Only' however, my mrs is Polish so need to be able to call Poland and we have close friends in Spain and Greece.

     

    My work phone I have recently signed a 12 month contract with 02 at £12 per month which includes 50gb data, unlimited calls/texts (including calls/text to the EU from the UK).

     

    My personal phone is currently with Smarty, 1 month contract and I also pay £12 per month for 120gb data, unlimited calls/text (UK only). If I want to call into the EU from the UK I have to buy an add-on (unlike 02) however, I can call and text to other EU countries from inside the EU.

     

    Now I want to change my personal sim and move away from Smarty and I could simply have another 02 sim however, I wondered if any other networks were offering similar deal to 02? (just was tempted to have an alternative network, I guess if 02 had a network issue both my phones would be offline and that is the only reason I was looking for an alternative network provider)

     

    Any help would be appreciated, I have had a quick look around but thought you guys may have a solution before I really start digging..

  6. Be aware that they may try and apply resort tax, we refused t pay it, look it up.

     

    Well we have bee not New York several times and always had a great time. We checked out load of famous sites inc;

     

    The Empire State Building (it's immaculate worth a visit - bought tickets from a street guy who gave us a free entry to Top of the Rock which we visited at night, that was pretty good)

     

    Hudson Yards - Nice shopping centre and worth visiting even it just to admire The Vessel

    Katz's is the famous delicatessen, with fabulous sandwiches also where the filmed the very famous 'where Harry Met Sally Scene' - See Here 

     

    Times Square with you will struggle to avoid but after a few days will do your best to avoid lol (I would suggest eating away from Times Square as it is expensive!)

     

    Washington Square Park is a lovely area and one of our favourite places to visit. (also place were many movies used) See the red house on the right of the Arch, that's where     
    Robert Neville (Will Smith) lived in the film - see here - Ghost Busters was also filmed here look it up. But it is a nice place to just go and chill and have a coffee while people watching. 

     

    Dumbo (or DUMBO, short for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) is a neighbourhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. The area known as Dumbo. There are some good eateries and bars and good place to take some photographs by the Hudson River facing Manhattan.

    Preliminary results of the urine toxicology test found he had ingested THX (Marijuana), tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and opioids, the Attorney General's Office said.

     

    Officials said on Twitter: "The National Institute of Forensic Medicine continues to conduct the necessary medical studies to ascertain the cause of death.

    With them doing U-turns on NHS staff and the fact that the omicron is more mild then covid yet if you get omicron you will have antibodies

    for the two types. Things will need to be reconsidered or it will start looking bad for them.

     

    we are at the point where the flu is more dangerous now.

    Agree, however, he lied and continued to lie which does not sit well with a lot of people.
