My advice: since none lock you in, just try the cheapest heavy-data option first (usually Simba on promo) with an eSIM so switching is insta…
Switched to SIM-only three years ago and never going back. Do the actual sum: a "free" phone on contract is baked into a higher monthly (eas…
Did nanny for my first, family help for my second, so I can compare directly. The confinement nanny is expensive but for a first-time mum wi…
Relax, this happens to loads of NSmen and it's very manageable. What typically happens if you don't pass IPPT within your window: you'll be …
