PAY AS YOU GO FOR OCCASIONAL USE

alanjones60

Update on rwg,im in spain at the moment,and can confirm roaming is fine,i topped up £5, i no the free bundle wont last that long,and it is their payg rates when bundle runs out. Im using my three data reward sim while here,better value bundles. Also,been here a week,and rwg stays on orange network,where as my three sim, has been on 3 different networks.  And phone settings the same on both sims, automaticly use best network

With the 50 and 75 minute deals what happens when you go over? Are you charged at the payg rates?

That was my understanding, if you have added credit of course.

Confirmed: "All services outside of bundles will be charged at our standard rate which are 5p/min for landline and mobile, 10p/SMS and 2p/MB."

I would dual SIM with a 321 option(O2 classic or 3 data reward) and swap once I ran out of the free stuff.

Or better, dual SIM with 1p mobile then swap when you go over.

Thought 1p had min top up requirements which make it relatively expensive.

I am looking to try this, do I have to port my existing number or can I test it in my old phone first with the free plan?

This would be fine, no porting required to test out coverage.

1p mobile has the best rates, good/best coverage (EE), but the minimum top up (£30 or £40/yr) makes it quite niche - many folk don't use enough to genuinely experience the 1p price.

Just received my SIM and tried to set it up.
Clicking the email led to a blank email page, I put on there everything that was on the SIM card, ie all the numbers and my name .
Is that OK.
Do you get a reply email saying all is done?

I've just had the same. Clicking the link leads to a blank email. I gave them the number on the sim and requested package.

Any luck with yours?

EDIT. Response in less than an hour and sim activated.

How long did it take your SIM to come.
I requested one last Friday but nothing has arrived yet.

I was rather impressed to get a response from them in about a minute!
