Dont forget,when you join RWG, your sim says NOW on your phone screen,im pretty sure NOW mobile would take them over.
NOW are well estabilished.
As a side note NOW handle RWG enquires on their live chat on their website.2 -
It's probably not a bad idea to request a PAC once a month.You don't have to use it, but should RWG go under, you could immediately sign up to another operator and would have a PAC to give them to transfer over your number2

Nowmobile seem to be able to issue a pac for RWG customers without any issues.
I've read about quite a few people trying to get a PAC off RWG without any response but Nowmobile seem to respond very quickly.1 -
Completed the port in form on RWG website last Wednesday and contacted Now via chat today to find out progress as email said 2 working days. NOW informed no request was received and will have to start Porting process again via NOW website. I suspect RWG exists only in name.

When Ovivo Mobile went tits up you could claim a PAC for 3 months after it folded, I had no issue getting them.
Let's Be Careful Out There3 -
I've had my backup number with RWG for 2 years on a 'set and forget' plan. It's been decreasingly reliable over the 2 years to the point it rarely worked for the last few months. I've also had a bit of a nagging feeling that it could completely stop working at any moment.
I wanted EE coverage (default SIM is Vodafone, so makes sense to go with someone they don't share masts with and I have trust issues with Three as well). Decided to steer clear of Now/Talk Home/RWG altogether since I imagine the reliability problems will be common amongst them. Also avoiding Lyca/Slice as they seem to be incredibly dodgy.
Considered Mozillion but decided their plans exceeded my needs.
Eventually settled on Spusu @ £2.90/month. So far so good.2
