Switching mobile networks can seem like a hassle, but it’s easier than ever to move to a new provider and potentially save hundreds of pounds per year.
In this episode of Which? Shorts, we reveal the results of our survey of consumers to find out which mobile networks are the best on price, customer service and more.
We explain how smaller, virtual networks actually piggyback off the infrastructure of one of the Big Four networks - EE, O2, Three and Vodafone - meaning you can get the same network coverage and signal at a fraction of the price.
This episode is read by Rob Lilley-Jones and is based on an article written by Adam Snook, originally published in the May 2026 issue of Which? magazine.

Today marks a big day for both renters and private landlords as the Renters’ Rights Act comes into force - a bill designed by the government to “secure a fairer future for 11 million private renters in England”. So is it just good news for tenants? Or are there any wins for landlords?
In this episode of Which? Money, our property expert Sam Wilson explains some of the key changes that are being brought in to improve standards for renters, including the abolition of Section 21 no-fault evictions, the introduction of rolling contracts as standard, and rent increases limited to once per year.
Plus, property expert and developer Marta de Sousa discusses whether landlords will leave the market in protest, and whether this could ultimately push rents up by reducing available rental stock.

In a recent survey of Which? members, more than 50% of smartphones and tablets that had been replaced over the previous five years were still in working order. So, how often should you actually upgrade? And what should you do with the devices you no longer need?
