Are RWG Mobile still in Business?

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.

Out of interest was it everything that wasn't working at times?

SPUSU are fine if you want to call and SMSs, but they don't support sending of MMSs at all in any of their plans. You can receive MMSs but not send!

Furthermore, don't expect to receive ANY SMSs from anyone in France, because they don't arrive! And they don't know why!  The French sender still pays their ~7cts per text, but they never arrive!

Replacement Sim organised through Now Mobile Chat was sent from RWG second time of asking,  RWG sticker over Now branded outer sim card, activated by Now Mobile, no reply RWG email.

7 days since replacement sim activation, one occasion when service was lost, turned off/on, phone working fine again. (Original free sim with 60 mins call time/combination of free texts a month.)

My RWG SIM 750MB/100txt/100min each month which is on the EE Network has continued to work without a problem, you need a decent 2G signal for calls and texts, and sometimes my phone can be a bit tardy switching over when trying to send or call so needing a retry!
