    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?

    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. :)

    And let's guess - you've got a referral link that can get us some extra credit?!

    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)

    http://www.e2save.com/mobile-phone/contract/nokia/Nokia-105-Black.html?network=talkmobile&tariffcode=ETK4DNOV13


    Plus going through topcashback should give £27 back that way too. :beer:

    Santander have paid me out for my 2 transactions already.

    Regarding the £5 -

    Giffgaff sent me an email, as follows:

    giffgaff here to help

    Hi

    If you've been caught out by the recent closure of Ovivo yesterday, we are here to help.

    Join giffgaff and we will send your SIM to you by 1st class post for the next few days to get you reconnected faster.

    With great value SIM only deals starting from just £5, check out our goodybags to see if there is a deal that suits you.

    Order a free SIM today

    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

    The giffgaff team

    Also - I can still get incoming calls on my mobile, but obviously nothing outbound is working

    For low users Giff Gaffs standard rates are expensive compared to others.
