Anyone still on the completely free RWG plan?
I've been on the free (50/50/250mb) RWG plan for 5 years, but over the last year the service has become progressively more flaky, with incoming and outgoing connections failing regularly.

RWG... now it's my turn :-(
Wife has had problems with RWG from the very start and has stopped using them. It was me who recommended them :blush: as I was pretty happy with their offers and service. And until mid-March I had no problems at all... but since then the phone with my RWG SIM just doesn't auto-register anymore. This SIM has been in that…

What is wrong with RWG mobile?
I got their sim 3 years ago and they were fine back then, but since last year not only has my cell signal been faulty (not being able to call or receive calls most times) but CS is practically non-existent. Not heard back since January via email. I did call just now and it goes through to NOW instead of their own dedicated…

Notice of disconnection and debt collection from O2 but I don't have an account with them
I've had a letter from O2 stating notice of disconnection and unpaid bill of £32. It has my name and address and an account number but no mention of mobile number. I don't have an account with O2.

Lebara - Best way of getting back onto a MSE deal?
Hello, I've been with Lebara quite a while, and I'm now on their standard pricing. MSE tells me they're doing cheaper packages for new customers. Is my best option to port away from Lebara to a different network, and then go back after a month, or are Lebara happy to move existing customers onto deals? Thanks.

Lebara sim swap fraud
Hello all I’ve had sim swap fraud occur on my Lebara phone number which I’m not longer able to access. I spent 4 hours with 3 different people this evening trying to get Lebara to do something about it. The first two brushed it off as an issue with my phone and nothing to do with them. Then I asked the third what SIM card…
