    where is the form to request pac code?

    Have you tried the ovivo website ?
  • I would have thought someone would buy them out.
    They must have a large customer base & many would pay a fair monthly charge.

    Not sure I got my moneys worth... still waiting for the first Yahoo page to finish loading for about a month :p

    I always suspected their broadband was just connected to some blokes phone left on the charger and with an Orange unlimited data sim in it. :think:

    RIP Ovivo.

    I never liked ANY MVNO and this particular business model was clearly unsustainable. But it gets worse - want a PAC code? Certainly, provide us with your Date of Birth! It beggars belief.

    The cheapest 'real' network that is cost effective is 3UK. And if three give you coverage, the are worth every penny. I pay £6.70 per month for 500Mb data and a pile of voice minutes and 5000 texts as a SIM only plan - no adverts or worries about longevity of the supplier.

    Funny thing is I can still receive calls/texts but I can't do the reverse

    I have a suspicion that 50,000 PACs might take more than a day to arrange

    Mind you, that was the claimed number of customers some time in January, since when a recommendation from MSE will have added thousands more.
