I wrote to 'orange' re the £35 oo in my PAYG not being transferred to my new phone but they pointed me to their 'terms and conditions' xSo no cheque for me .

Thanks for all the input and sorry to take a long lime togetback to you but am in hospital having suffered a stroke.

I hope to revisit Tesco shop in the next few days . My daughter is coming with me to help sort things out.
Unable to go this past week (weather) I have had to wait till my daughter came back from latest work trip.
I also have a friend who is adept at writing complaint letters in a very efficient way and she is going to get in touch with EE re the PAYG money.
I will let you know what, if anything, results. Poli

I really don't understand the technical details---- apparently the SIM card in my old phone was too large to fit into the new phone so 'as I understand it' all info from old phone was transferred to the new phone by use of a PAC number?

It has all gone over my head really. I believe I am ' sim free' now ?

The new phone now holds all my WhatsApp photos but NOT my ordinary pictures from photo album---don't know where they are.
My phone number works on my new phone but has gone from the old one. My £35.00 payg seems a lost cause. Tesco and O2 work together . Poli

Wish I'd taken a young person with me when I went shopping!!!

Stayed with Samsung Galaxy j3   2017.

But have made a big mistake.----- not with choosing that phone BUT for not realising you couldn't carry the remaining payg over from your last phone .

I have £35.00 left my old phone and now I end up paying so much more from my hew phone----quite taken the shine off.

Old phone purchased at EE and the new one is a Tesco mobile

Thanks also to MagicMirror and Pauline.j

Noticed that a ref. was made to 'sim free'---I have just spent a good while Googling 'sim free' and 'unlocked/locked' and am now getting really confused.

I can vaguely understand the concepts of both these things but cannot truly decide which would suit my needs best?

As I understand--or think I understand sim free phone means you are not tied to a particular provider like EE for example. How would that work if you are PAYG ?

As for locked/unlocked---- well my very old brain is scrambled !!   Poli

Thanks to bluesofa and LizzieW for replying.

I looked at the 2 articles suggested. Motorola would seem to be a popular choice.

A query----what does a phone that costs £600--800 have/do that one costing £200-300 doesn't ?

The  articles probably explained but a bit too technically for me to easily understand. poli

At the moment i have a Samsung Galaxy Fame, about 5 years old. I use Pay as you go. EE/Orange

I would like to buy one with more options--better camera--bigger keyboard--basically "more bells and whistles"  around the £150-200. price. or is that wishful thinking?

I have Googled for advice ?--and am more confused than when i started looking.

Locked and unlocked i can understand but when they start on about 3g/4g and get REALLY technical i am lost  ::)

What questions should i ask when shopping for one, always supposing i understand the answers of course!

I use my phone mostly for Whatsapp/texting/photos/ the occasional phonecall!

If anyone has the time and patience to reply i would be grateful. :) poli

p.s --trying to do this on my own without consulting my grownup children just in case they say

" mum, do you really need another one? " and no, i don't, i just want one.  ;D   poli
