    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.

    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 number

    Whenever I try to text pac from my sim it tells me I have already requested a pac which expires *today's date*

    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.

    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.

    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.
