Any suggestions for a Vodafone MVNO?

Depends upon your usage tbh.
Were it not for Vodafones' poor record with MVNO's and their apparent reluctance to continue service to them, I would consider Talk Mobile (owned by Vodafone now) or possibly Lebara.

And Vodafone MVNO opinion:

There is a network called THREE and has payg but do you get good coverage

Three's coverage in my area is pretty solid, but still not up there with Voda who are king around these parts.

I got 3's 3-2-1 when ASDA abandoned Vodafone but the coverage isn't as good as Vodafone's. My wife went for Sainsbury's because it was on the Vodafone network and she seldom has any problems.

Neither of us spend more than about £20-£25 a year on mobile calls & texts and very seldom if ever use data so there's no point in a monthly deal.

We are now considering ASDA again but we'll get a free sim card and only put a fiver on it to try it out, otherwise she'll go to 3 as well and we'll put up with the odd not spot. Previous experience's with 02 haven't been great either although for a fiver we might try Tesco's offering to see if it's improved.

White Mobile is fairly basic but seems to get the job done (runs on EE). Was often recommended on here until Delight Mobile came along.
You cannot avoid the possibility of any MVNO closing down, even Tesco Mobile is mot immune from that should Tesco be able to sell it off in their fire sale.

Anyone tried the Co-op sim? Just ordered one for a family member.

Tesco Mobile is exclusive as in 50% is owned by the MVNO provider, o2.

System

Isn't that the same setup as Vodafone with Sainsbury's?
Doesn't mean Tesco might not end the JV with O2.

Tesco was attempting to sell it's share in Tesco Mobile, so far no takers. Nothing to stop 02 buying it outright and then merging it into the main operation, or even into giffgaff. I can't see that they'd want 2 wholly owned MVNO's.
