    Any interest in discounts on Sky Mobile Sim packages?

    Hello! Do you know if it's likely that these will return to the previous offerings (particularly the 10GB for £6.50)? How often do deals get revised? Thank you.

    Spec me an old Android phone...

    Any more advice? I was not previously aware that no mobile phone wanted threads are allowed.

    Spec me an old Android phone...

    Done - Thank you. After a bit of searching I've found a new Alcatel 4 Pixi on auction for £15 delivered. I know this is really low-end however anything I should know given the basic requirements? Sounds perfect on the face of it.

    Spec me an old Android phone...

    I have a Parrot Mambo FPV drone and have been having issues with the camera module. I have been advised by Parrot support that the behaviour demonstrated is a known issue with later versions of Android, however the drone (and associated app) are no longer supported. It was only a budget drone...

    GL-iNet Portable/Travel Routers

    @BigT @Avalon - Thank you for taking the time to reply. I understand your concerns regarding putting everything through the VPN and I do not intend to do so. Initially I'll just run a second wireless network (running OpenVPN) so devices can hop on/off easily enough. Eventually I'd like to start...

    GL-iNet Portable/Travel Routers

    Hello Networks & Internet Connectivity! I think this is probably my first time venturing into this forum - I hope I can benefit from your knowledge! Background: In the Black Friday sales I purchased a VPN. Very little reason other than the subscription was cheap and I thought it would be...

    Covering External Drainage

    Hello! Earlier this year it became apparent that there was a slight external leak on kitchen drain. The set up is a kitchen drain that goes into the concrete floor and out of the house below ground level, into a gulley (with a hopper providing a vent to atmosphere) before running down into the...

    Recommend a car phone holder!

    Hello! Ordinarily I use the sat-nav built into my car for navigation, however a recent change of role requires me to travel regularly. I'll be doing so in a variety of different cars (mainly hire cars), with no guarantee of what I'll be driving from day-to-day. Given that I cannot be sure of a...

    Kitchen Flooring

    Good Evening, I am in the process of having a new kitchen installed. My fitter has asked me whether I would like the flooring installed to cover the entire floorplan or only up to the visible areas. The flooring will be click together vinyl. The fitter has suggested that both options are...

    Insurance Policies - 'Advised'

    I don't think we would want absolute/bare given that we might have more children in the future. As a result, it would mean using a discretionary trust but the idea of it being 'outside of my control' worries me a little. The insurer does have a stock form to fill in on their website but I think...

    Insurance Policies - 'Advised'

    Thank you for your reply - It's been really helpful! I think I'm happy with what product to buy and the numerous options. The only decision I need to make is regarding trusts but as I understand it I can put the policy into trust at any time in the future and so I may delay considering that...

    Insurance Policies - 'Advised'

    Hello! I've put this question in the 'Home and Garden' section as the question relates to some of the decisions required when purchasing a home and so I'm sure I'll get the most relevant answers here. I used a mortgage broker to arrange my mortgage application. Since, the broker has advised on...

    HomeBuyers Report - Worth it?

    Good Afternoon, I am currently in the process of purchasing a property. The lenders are carrying out their own basic valuation for their needs and I have not chosen to 'upgrade' this. Instead, I have decided that should I require a further report I will get a surveyor to do one privately on the...

    Budget Laptop Recommendation?

    Hello, I am investigating potential replacements for my broken Dell Inspiron 14z (as per another thread). Does anybody have any recommendations? The laptop only sees light/basic use - Web browsing, email, word processing, etc. No games. It would be great if the replacement were (no particular...

    Laptop Screen Issues - Missing Red Component

    Hello! I have an aging Dell Inspiron 14z and this afternoon turned it on (having not used it for a few weeks) to find some strange screen issues. The screen has 'strange' colours with the main component being a sort of neon blue/aqua colour. After a while I realised (using Paint) that the red...

    Android Phone for under £150?

    My wife's Moto E4 Plus arrived today. I've just spent the evening setting it up. It's a little larger (particularly in depth) and heavier than I expected but that's largely as a result of the battery and certainly not helped by the large (somewhat rugged) case that I've put on it. Interestingly...

    Best <£200 phone?

    Ended up going with the E4 Plus. Let's hope the camera doesn't let it down - The only of my three requirements that I'm not 100% it satisfies, despite offering a lot of other features I did not expect at this price point (battery life and Android Pay/NFC primarily).

    Android Phone for under £150?

    Thanks for the heads up - This certainly helped me. I had convinced myself on the G5 but the extra RAM, compass, NFC (Android Pay!), front camera flash and huge battery sold me. My wife will certainly not miss the processor or the pixel density (and indeed will probably prefer the larger screen...

    Best <£200 phone?

    How does the camera compare to the Moto G series? How far from stock is the software? Does it have NFC (I see mixed opinions)? Finally, where can I get a UK version (not an import) for <£200? Thank you.
