    Well Martin, last week you recommended Ovivo mobile. Paid them £20 just got my sim, now they're shut down!!!
    Perhaps you should do a tiny bit of research before you get your followers ripped off and !!!!ed off!!!!!!!

    Do you really think Martin Lewis can somehow foresee the future? How do you think a week ago he was going to know they were going to close down today?

    I agree that Martin is unlikely to have a crystal ball. It is, however, interesting timing from Ovivo. Let's just imagine that in the last week they have had hundreds or perhaps thousands of orders as a result of the TV coverage. They are sitting on quite a sizable number of £20 orders if that is the case.....
