Just tried my local Post Office which is where I have always got them before but it seems they don't supply Asda Mobile PAYG phone vouchers anymore!  Anyone know why or where I can get one?  Haven't tried them yet but do Asda still sell top-up vouchers?

    I’ve bought them at my local McColls newsagent.
    However I’ve now setup an online account so I topup that way.

    I've always bought in Co-op or local corner shop without any trouble

    But have you done so since switching to their new network?  I will try in-store tomorrow.

    Beginning to look like I might need to switch to another network if they are going to stop supporting Top-up vouchers.  I don't want to go to all the trouble of creating an account just so I can top-up my mobile phone.

    Last bought a voucher [£5] in Co-op July 2021, which was post switch over AFAIK, switch over was March onwards

    However like you I'll change supplier if they stop vouchers as I also CBA creating an account just to top up

    Create account in 5 mins, less than a minute to then top up when needed. 
    Versus the time taken to go to a shop each time it needs topping up? 
    Each to their own, just seems a bit back to front. 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    From memory, creating the Asda account took about as long as making this post.

    And if you don't have a debit/credit card (or choose not to use one online)?

    Then that would probably have been mentioned as a reason not to setup an account, rather than the extra effort.

    Because that is a good reason to want the option of non-online top-ups.
