I was looking for a new SIM only contract, and I am an existing VM broadband customer so I thought I'd look at their Volt plans.

Multinetwork SIMs - Good idea?

RWG's New Website, Plans and new Charges
RWG's new site has been up for a few days now and several of us have been having a few issues with a variety of things, so I thought it a good idea to start a new thread rather than have spurious comments spread over two other RWG threads.

Motorola UK: Is it worth risking a purchase from their website?
