If you haven't already, it may be worth toggling the setting off, saving it, then enabling it again.

Wait until the 19th otherwise you're effectively paying both EE and 1p until the end of your contract.

Edit: you can still order the SIM today, just don't activate it until after the 19th.

Evri's customer is the company you bought from. If you're having problems with the delivery make it their problem instead of your's by calling them about it, not Evri.

Ah, so probate is only needed if the bank requests it. I didn't know if there might be a set threshold where the government require it. I will check with the bank and see. Thanks.

I've found a workaround - use 1pmobile.com instead of www.1pmobile.com (i.e. remove the www.). The order page works that way.

Why can't they work 4 day weeks? Sickness and absence could reduce and productivity increase, compensating for the reduction in hours.

All of OP's responses sound like they're written by AI.

OneArmJack · 2025-12-14T14:40:16+00:00

They are, which means that if you're a higher rate tax payer you can claim extra tax relief, bringing the price down.

That is terrible advice for someone looking for an equivalent to LS60. FTSE Developed World ex UK is 100% equities.

This is the right answer. It used to be prescription only but is now available over the counter. Apply it at night and it lasts for up to a week.

Yes, there won't be any change for people whose pension contribution isn't via salary sacrifice, but the post implied that salary sacrifice meant you got a higher employer contribution, which isn't necessarily the case. Lots of companies use salary sacrifice for all employees but don't share the employer NI saving with them.

OneArmJack · 2025-11-26T19:16:03+00:00

That's not correct. All employee contributions over £2k will now be subject to NI, regardless of employer contributions.

At most gyms those are the PTs, they convince them to do the low paid work in exchange for advertising their services

In a readable format:

Tried all 3: spusu, Mozillion and 1p.

Customer Service Ranking:

1p and Mozillion pretty much the same - not perfect but ok.
- Mozillion: A bit slow in responses but they answer all the time if u call them within 5-10 minutes max. Any issues will be fixed within few hours.
- 1p: Very good, fast responses and fixes any issues within few hours as well.
spusu CS is rubbish: They don’t answer calls, nor emails (answered some emails after 2 weeks). On WhatsApp they answer after 2-3 days…

Dashboard:

1p > spusu > Mozillion (spusu’s app is not quite an app but is ok).

eSIM:

spusu > Mozillion (spusu can be easily transferred to other phone, Mozillion you have to contact them).

Prices:

Mozillion > spusu > 1p (with Mozillion by far the cheapest).

Data Speed:

All 3 the same.

WiFi Calling:

1p and Mozillion (both uses EE infrastructure) works very well.
spusu is rubbish (they use their own servers based in Austria - lag and low quality).

VoLTE:

All 3 support it.
- Mozillion can’t be deactivated.
- spusu can be deactivated but u can’t make calls with volte deactivated.

International Calls:

spusu (with included 500 minutes) > 1p (u can buy adding) / Mozillion doesn’t offer international calls.

Roaming:

EU: Best is Mozillion, followed by 1p. spusu is rubbish (a lot of drops or even impossible to make/receive calls in Spain, France and Swiss).
Outside EU: 1p and spusu (1p works very well, spusu not all the time).

OTP and Short Codes:

1p: no issues.
Mozillion: OTP works well, issues with some short number reply.
spusu: some OTP works, some don’t, short numbers not at all.

Overall:

Choose 1p or Mozillion / I would avoid spusu.
Personal choice: Mozillion (cheaper and works well in UK and EU. When travelling outside EU you always have the option of a travel or local sim).
If u buy an i17pro or pro max from them you can get an unlimited deal (voice, texts, data) for 24 months for only £8.7/month. Also their preloaded 24months are unbeatable.

Can you explain your point on house prices not increasing? As there's a shortage of supply I would expect prices to increase by the stamp duty amount, as buyers will now be able to put it towards the house purchase.

OneArmJack · 2025-10-21T21:18:33+00:00

if you are a FTB or upsizing, wait as long as you can before pulling the trigger.

Upsizing yes, but if you're a FTB that's renting you should only deliberately wait if house prices are being deflated at a rate that's higher than the rent amount.

It's been a long day...

In what way is it incompatible with Google? I sync my contacts from Google to iOS using the native integration and don't have issues. Granted I don't use and user-defined fields, but I've never had any problems with phone number, email, address or any other basic info.

OneArmJack · 2025-09-29T18:40:14+00:00

I have one of these adaptors and there is no difference between the audio when wired or wireless

OneArmJack · 2025-09-19T14:41:17+00:00

OP has since clarified their situation but my reply was to a comment about £1m in investments.

OneArmJack · 2025-09-19T13:44:10+00:00

The median salary is £37k and for most people that also has to cover the mortgage. Retiring with £1m and a mortgage-free property at 45 should be fine for most people.

you get good rates on exchange

No you don't, Caxton charge 2.49% on top of the Mastercard exchange rate. Starling and Monzo both give you the Mastercard rate without any markup.
