MSE News: Sainsbury's to axe its mobile service: What it means for you

If a Voda network is not essential as above, look at Delight Mobile or White Mobile, both running on EE.

System

The prices aren't the same bar the headline text and talk rate - everything else is more expensive with Lite.

O2s network is awful with poor sound quality, slow data and totally unreliable

Anyway, I am delighted that they are closing as I have discovered Tesco Lite which costs the same as Sainsburys but uses O2 whose coverage here is vastly superior to Vodafone's.

Any advice which would be the best PAYG network to switch to for texts only

Three 321 tarrif - 2p for texts and credit doesn't expire. If you buy the SIM in store they'll unlock the phone and set it up too.

Three requires a 3G capable phone though.

Delight 2p a Text

First of the three added to Nectar Points today. :j

Did you get the other two refunded?

Still waiting for mine.

I'm on pay monthly with Sainsbury's.
I got my PAC on 15.12.15, which I gave to Vodafone on the 17.12.15 (and again on the 19.12.15, 21.12.15, and 23.12.15 due to constant errors at their end).
Well, today I noticed that my Sainsbury's sim states that it is no longer connected to a network and the number comes up as "invalid" when people ring it. The number hasn't actually transferred to my new Vodafone sim though, so it seems to have just vanished.
My contract with Sainsbury's doesn't end until 15.01.16, so what on earth is going on?! :eek:

Has anyone actually received their refund from SainsMob yet?
Either by points; gift card; or cheque?

Yes had to remind them when my Wife's phone was also changed over.

Was originally having nectar points, but never happened after 5 weeks, so they then very quickly sent Sainsbury's card with credit on.

Would strongly recommend you phone and check asap
