Hmmm, the head of customer operations has already had time to update his profile on a certain website to describe this as a past position.
I wonder who is in charge of processing all those PAC requests?0 -
I've been looking at alternatives in light of Ovivo's sudden demise.
The best I've found so far seems to be TalkTalk Mobile (need to have a landline with them) and after that, Three SIM Only or Giff Gaff. Three PAYG's 321 tariff is also an option for low usage users.
If anyone has found other deals please post here to try and help others.

I didn't see a link.
Personally, I've gone back to e2save on cashback:
Nokia 105 Black
FREE Handset talkmobile
100 minutes + 500MB data + 5000 texts
Only £2.48 p/m for 24 months
Standard cost £8.50 p/m
Save over £145 cashback by redemption (£2.48 after cashback)

Plus going through topcashback should give £27 back that way too. :beer:Toyota - 'Always a better way', avoid buying Toyota.0 -
Santander have paid me out for my 2 transactions already.
Regarding the £5 -
Giffgaff sent me an email, as follows:

To help you get started, we'll also give you £5 credit if you transfer your number from Ovivo before the 30th April.
Just request your PAC code from Ovivo to transfer your number.
Cheers

Also - I can still get incoming calls on my mobile, but obviously nothing outbound is working0 -
For low users Giff Gaffs standard rates are expensive compared to others.0
