    Yes, as long as they are around.

    Big long thread already exists:

    Data speeds are slow, and the ads are annoying when you browse, but they deliver what they say they will.

    For now.

    I can't really see their business model holding out for very much longer, but no harm in grabbing it while you can.

    The most it'll cost you is your £20 if they go bust before you spend it, and/or your phone number if you can't get a PAC code from them

    I would agree that data is snails pace most of the time (I would never rely on Ovivo for a line that is used for web browsing), but I would think the mobile numbers should be reasonably safe, even if Ovivo go bust the numbers should be held by Vodafone.

    Not sure what you mean by "held by Vodafone"? The situation is more complex than that.

    In the past when virtual operators go under there hasn't always been an orderly close down and you'll find threads on here and elsewhere from people whose numbers have been lost for various reasons.
  • I use them as a second line, but their data is too slow and unreliable to even consider ditching my main line.
  • Is it possible to get 2 micro sims into one old size sim and choose which sim card you use on the same phone?

    You keep asking the same question, why not just stick with one thread?
