Kingdom Mobile

Hi,
does anyone have experience with this virtual?
The bundles look very good value, but are saying "coming soon".
I've emailed them to ask what "soon" means to them, no reply as yet.

First time I've heard of Kingdom. But you can have the same cheap calls to Africa plus better national rates from the likes of Vectone, Delight, etc, available now.

Not interested in calls to Africa, the bundles are what appeal. Especially 10/unlimited data!

What about their bundles? I haven't seen anyone offer more competitive bundles (if they actually launch them).

I wonder if I'm misreading the site? It actually says you can text a code to buy the bundles. The "Coming Soon" is a button. I wonder if that means you just cannot buy them online yet?
May get a voucher, top up and try.....

I also sent them an email yesterday, haven't had an answer yet. Might see if they are active on Twitter.

Coincidence! I did, too, and tried them on Facebook. No reply to either, either.
I have just put the sim in a phone and got a welcome message. Next time I go past a PayPoint I might chance a top up.

Depends what unlimited really means, I can find no definition. Vectone's £10 unlimited everything bundle slows down after 3GB.

Any idea what network they run on, Dave?

I suspect they may be the same people as Olive Mobile.

Curiously, their access numbers 1200; 1233; 1244 are those used by Dutch networks. One of the anomalies on their website is two different CS phone numbers: +44 203 477 0008 and +44 203 519 0797. Perhaps somebody answers... (I am overseas.)

As sdduk says, they run on the T-Mobile/Orange 3G EE network.

Right. I got round to topping up via a PayPoint voucher. When I text the relevant bundle code I get a message "Sorry, we do not recognise the bundle reference you entered...."
Oh well, it was worth a try.
