Vodaphone based alternative to Sainsbury

My Sim only connection is ending due to the closure of Sainsbury in a few weeks. Been texted my PAC.
Am on 1gb, 500 mins and texts for £10 which worked fine but can't find anything close using Voda.
Voda prepay and simonly are expensive. Talk Mobile are almost as expensive unless i sign for a year and have awful reviews. Got a sim from Kontact mobile, it worked but was cut from a full size sim chip and stuck with stickytape.
Voda net is best for work and only network that works at family house.Am I going to have to pay more for tax dodger voda.?

Pretty much all Voda's MVNOs can be found here marked with [32]: http://mobilenetworkcomparison.org.uk/compare/0 -

Just switched my wife's SIM to TalkMobile, no problems so far.0

Talk mobile is owned by Vodafone so that's a good alternative that's unlikely to shutdown.0

Thanks for the hints!
I didn't have a problems with Kontakt but the sim didn't inspire confidence then it wouldn't let me login to provide the port code. I didn't feel confident as i use the number for work contacts should I not get it back.
I ordered a prepay voda sim and prepay talk mobile sim to get me over the festive season. voda has month promo for 50GB if you buy a £10 pack. Talk mobile its 1 hour for 10p with ok sms and data rates. Will keep Lebana in 2nd reserve.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

Tried vodaphone for 1 week and so glad didn't get any kind of contract with them. Awful experience, almost night and day compared with Sainsburys.
4G wouldn't activate. Overseas customer services sent me to store and they tried/failed to activate 4G but cost me £2 meaning I couldn't get a bundle when 4G mysteriously activated next day
Requested PAC code as credit wasn't going to last much longer with Vodafone's awful un-bundled rates but has taken 1 week to generate due to technical issuesThis is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

A PAC must be isued within 2 hours of request, I would be reporting that to Ofcom.SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe0
