    Who would you expect is going to know the answer :rotfl:

    To be honest considering you started a thread over 6 months ago asking what would happen if Ovivo were to go Bankrupt I don't realy think you would be able to sleep at night if you took out a sim with them ;)
    It's not just about the money

    Use them as my spare phone number on the free allocation per month.

    I don't find their chargeable options particularly competitive so would not move may main lifeline to them.

    Do I think they are there for the long term? Honestly don't know but I am not putting my shirt on it or all that bothered to be truthful.

    With Tesco's £10 sim only package, if I wanted to save money I could swap to them, but I find that the £22 per month I pay to O2 for my handset and line, with a £200 golden hello when I took O2 broadband to be a decent deal giving me the security for my main number.

    They have at least 3,000 customers. That's the number of Facebook "likes" they have. I would say only Ovivo customers like the Facebook page....plus a few more.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    Hmmm ... I "Liked" their facebook page but have now moved to '3' mobile because of the poor signal in my area (Not Ovivo's fault) and the awful data rate combined with increasing frequency of adverts.

    My partner has an Ovivo SIM in a 'dumb phone' and that's fine, apart from the poor signal issue.

    So from my calculations Ovivo have 2999 customers. Looks like chances of them going bankrupt is high unless these 2999 customer top up £100 a month each lol.

    Unless someone can prove me wrong by providing a independant link showing the true answer otherwise people will keep on guessing.

    Anyways if Ovivo had a high customer base like 1 million or something im sure the CEO would brag and show off this figure to everyone which has not happen yet.

    It will be more than that as theres customers who dont have a facebook account to "like" ovivo, theres customers who might not even have internet access and then theres customers who just haven't "liked" the page.

    I'm not sure Facebook 'likes' are an analytical way of deciding how many subscribers a network has! :rotfl:

    For example the big 5 networks in the UK only have about 2 million 'likes' between them. So your logic suggests that you assume Vodafone, O2, Orange, T-Mobile and Three only have 2 million customers between them?

    In fact, Orange UK only has 42,251 likes.
