Sue, GG along with some of the similar alternatives proposed in here are an MVNO, where MNO stands for mobile network operator, and where the V does not but should in my opinion stand for eVil! these Johnnycomelatelys are encouraged by regulators to camp on MNOs networks FOR THEIR OWN (referring to the MVNOs) PRIVATE gain, when they have made none of the financial investment to roll out the network themselves, Norwood have the expertise to maintain it should the MNOs be temporarily indisposed. In my view this is SHORT SIGHTED! it's akin to taking the cheap poor quality mass produced and imported merchandise instead of supporting local by buying LOCAL! That said, if you are minded to go with an MVNO, I would recommend avoiding using one whose marketing dept, and management are clearly so devoid of soul, taste or morals as "LIFE MOBILE". Giff Gaff would seem like a fine choose relatively, for benchmarked consumers.

These places mostly all have the same deals available as rival competitors, assuming you're out of contract and are prepared to go through the charade of 'I'm leaving'.


Tell EE you want to move to Giff or Virgin and they'll 'suddenly' discover a deal which is virtually identical. (I'm on EE for ?5/month, same minutes and data as Virgin - only Virgin isn't 4G and EE is)


Asking for PAC code does the trick in the shortest possible time.

Actually it didn't work for me last time. I went through all the usual palaver but EE weren't able to give me as good a deal with the phone I wanted as an online contract.


I'm still with EE ie the EE network, but the contract is with mobiles direct online or something, don't have it to hand.

    • Some managers never reach adulthood and don't have a sufficent level of maturity to understand the difference between a technical role where you are constantly producing output for deadlines, and their own role which is reading (but never responding to) emails and talking crap all day. I used to sit in the office (surrounded by chitchat) & pointless meetings getting nothing done so I'd go to bed when I got home & set my alarm for 2am to do my work. This went on for about 10yrs before COVID. I'm an introvert so I don't have any WFH negatives....
    • Please look out for our dog he has slipped his collar, brown spaniel called Lucky. 06872680592
    • I also recently waited 30 minutes to speak to someone at HMRC. First of all, they had indicated the wait time from the outset. Secondly, it is a very busy time for them,  with  the 31 January deadline looming. Thirdly, I might be confusing them with some other organisation, but I think they gave other options including for them to phone you back if you didn't want to hang on. Anyway, my main point is that I don't know whether the person I spoke to was working from home or not, but there was no background noise, she was incredibly sympathetic and helpful, and to my utter disbelief she extended the deadline for me to the end of March 😮  The reason was that I couldn't do my online return due to  my laptop meltdown, and had been told repair could take up to 28 working days. She thought that a deadline of the end of February might not be long enough  I was fully expecting to be told that it was my own fault for not getting the return in before. So credit where credit's due, basically. I've previously found HMRC staff very helpful in patiently  explaining in simple language stuff in the rules which I couldn't understand. As for working from home, I'm long retired from working for others, but I have both on occasion worked well into the night/over weekends to meet critical project deadlines,  and also on occasion skived. But in the first job I was being paid a lot, and in the second job I wasn't 🤣
    • I can't help with pinpointing the source of the bass, but I have found playing white noise helps to mask unwanted sounds, and it's also quite soothing (in a way). I ask Alexa to play white noise, which must make a nice  change for her from asking what the temperature and/or weather is outside, or asking her to sing the Doggy Song, which is usually all she does (present from my brother). But probably you can get a white noise app on your phone. Have you contacted Southwark Noise Control (?) who may be able to trace where the bass is coming from?
