Bought 2 sims with lifetime recurring plan, non of them’s data actually work, tried many different solutions and contacted support but no helpful suggestions for now, it just says data service not subscribed. So can only make calls/text forever, not ideal!
23rd Mar
I can use data on the free plans they done. Did you get the APN settings set up correctly? If everything is good on your end, fire them an email across, they get back super quick.
24th Mar
It runs on EE, but no access to eSIMs, VoLTE, WiFi calling, 5G or 800MHz 4G
28th Mar
Wait, so this SIM / network only runs on EE's 3G network?

Isn't 3G networks due to be turned off soon?
I.E. this two year contract will last longer than their 3G network?

Personally I would not go with this company they never answer the phone, always on voicemail, and take a couple of days to repllay to an emails, they seem like a one-man band (edited)
23rd Mar
This was my experience too (no/slow replies). But the price is good enough for me to think about giving them another go.
5th Apr
They have also activated 5g this week (edited)
23rd Mar
A bit of a hassle but switching every few months between Lyca and Lebara will be a lot cheaper with their 5p offers. Just a reminder required on the phone calendar. For one of the phones in our household, I am spending under £1 annually doing this.
23rd Mar
Respect for going through the hassle
23rd Mar
I've recently got the one year deal. SIM arrived in three days and I sent them the required email to tell them to activate the SIM. Got a reply the next day saying it was logged. Just waiting on them to port a number which I was able to fill in the details online on their support pages. Supposed to take two days. Will update when it's done considering customer ratio and size of company I can't imagine it would be any worse than any large mobile provider who have millions of customers to service.

I purchased 24 month SIM for £35 last week and having issues with mobile data. The "4G" symbol on my phone is greyed out which means no mobile data. I emailed customer support and received the following reply;

"We are currently undergoing an upgrade to 5G with EE and this is causing some outages. We are working with them to resolve it as soon as possible.

Best Wishes"

I still have no access to mobile data which I find really frustrating! Anyone else having the same issue?

Try setting preferred network type to auto. Then I'd put roaming on, this can get you better speeds in some cases. As long as you remember to turn it off when you do actually roam.

I'd need to double check what apn mine uses later, if you still can't get sorted out.
24th Mar
2gb of data! So basically don't use your phone outside of the house!
24th Mar
More than enough for lots of people, I use on average about 500mb data per month.
23rd Mar
It seems wi-fi calling is not supported at the moment which makes it a non-starter for me.
26th Mar
and possibly more important is no 4G voice calls (VoLTE) so the signal coverage is not the same as EE as RWG has to drop down to 2g or 3g to make/receive voice calls. This is due to change but no date given.
23rd Mar
Bought this, and it's good, but as it's not a normal bundle, there's no way to see what data you have left. If you text the number to check your balance (there is no app), the response is something like "you don't have any bundle enabled." You get the data, and it works for what I need, but it would be good to know how much you have left. (edited)
23rd Mar
Texted Info ukrwg24 to 669
23rd Mar
i wouldn't pay upfront for 2 years as they may not be around by that time!!
23rd Mar
They've been around since 2015.

Also, its £35.......not going to break the bank is it.
23rd Mar
Not the fastest but good enough. (edited)
23rd Mar
I'm trying to get this for my little sister who's currently with O2 and wants to keep her number.

How do I do that?

Do you need to enter the PAC code somewhere or order the sim and then make arrangements later?
23rd Mar
Order and then request PAC.

Is this the same VOLTE call setup they offered when they were with 3 some years back or voice over the network now
They don’t offer 4g calling at the mo or wifi calling. They only use the higher bands of 4g too. That’s not necessary a bad thing as 800MHz can be slow.

However if they upgrade to 5g then no point in restricting 4g or maybe 5g will be restricted to one band. No one knows tbh.

However I’ve still to find roaming prices for South Africa, Barbados and Switzerland?

EDIT: Finally they sent them after going back and forth. The rates on their website are for calling the countries from the UK. Not roaming.

Prices in £

These are cracking rates for the country. Yes you can’t hammer it but for WhatsApp it’s great.
You have to ask yourself why companies are charging pounds per MB? Either their negotiating teams are crap or they’re all over charging.

I’ve finally found EU roaming is the same price as out allowance costs so 5p a min, 5p a text and 1p MB so not too bad if like me and just use roaming to stay in contact with loved ones. Lots of Wifi in Europe these days for data. (edited)
28th Mar
Does the 24 months starts from date you ordered or do you activate it ie month down the line after ordering?
28th Mar
I believe from SIM activation day.
4th Apr
Anyone have the same issue that it cannot call landline numbers? I got 2 SIMs and they both cant call landlines. I contacted RWG and they said to reset the network but that did not work. Have not heard from them after saying that.

I have to ask are you dialling the numbers with the area code on the front? If you are then it might be worth checking that outgoing calls are not barred somehow. Even though i’ve not seen how you can just bar landlines. Might be worth resetting call forwarding settings etc…

Bar that order new sims.
7th Apr
How long does it to receive the SIM cards? I've ordered mine on Sunday night, nothing yet
7th Apr
I ordered one on Sunday and it arrived, but I forget which day. I ordered another on Tuesday which hasn't arrived. Will have to wait until after Easter I guess.
19th Apr
bankrupt in a year this company will be and you will lose your cherished mobile numbers.

Too good to be true
19th Apr
I am sure that we can ask for PAC code to transfer the number? Please correct me if I am wrong
23rd Mar
Silly question but can I use this sim in London?
23rd Mar
Yes, roaming in England is supported.
23rd Mar
Conversely I found them very good in helping and replied to email the same day
23rd Mar
They are always helpful but take a reply long time to get back to you, especially if it's later on in the week, then expect a response in the next week.
23rd Mar
can allowance be used in EU?
5th Apr
Thanks for highlighting this deal. I took the plunge and went for £45 for 2 years 2GB data including EU roaming as I do quite a bit of EU travelling, so the extra £5 a year is well worth it. The link to the £45 deal from the above hotdeals link is broken (takes you to a data addin page instead), but can be accessed here: rwgmobile.wales/web…rs/

Currently paying £9.50 per month on Virgin Mobile for 2GB (+ 2GB roll over - my usage is <750 MB a month). However, Virgin reception has become pants since it moved to O2, and I am no longer happy with the price for what I am getting. If I like RWG after I trial it at home and abroad I will port my number over to the new SIM and cancel Virgin Mobile (I am out of contract). (edited)
23rd Mar
I might get this for my in-laws or even my son.
23rd Mar
Probably wont continue at 1p-5p for too long though - I'm on lebara for 5p til August

At £1.45 a month this £35 deal for 2 years locks you in - but will RWG last for 2 years? thats my thinking - no roaming either

The sim is switched on for roaming. It is Not a UK only sim
23rd Mar
Do they have PayPal or you pay via direct debit?

23rd Mar
See above
23rd Mar
Got the 12m deal for daughter month ago, so far no issues, ported number over easy enough.
23rd Mar
How did you port the number?

Is it as jrw says and you ordered the SIM first and then did something with the PAC code after?
23rd Mar
£35 is pretty good for two years!! Good for light users, have ordered and may give to family member who is paying £10 a month, so this will be a big saving
23rd Mar
Agree. Pretty good deal for light users.
23rd Mar
Is this the same VOLTE call setup they offered when they were with 3 some years back or voice over the network now?
27th Mar
This sounds too good to be true. Reminds me of Ovivo that went tits up having taken people's one off payment.
28th Mar
It's not, they've been around a while now. Quite a few of us on here have had them in the past.
28th Mar
How long do you have after ordering to activate the SIM? usual rule of thumb is 90 days but not sure?
28th Mar
Good question, I'm intrigued myself... My Lyca runs out in 3 months, so if 90 days from order. This works out perfectly for replacement...
2nd Apr
where you can check the activation date and expiry date once you have activated the sim? ANy idea
2nd Apr
Email them and find out, then let us know... Lol
4th Apr
Anyone have the same issue that it cannot call landline numbers? I got 2 SIMs and they both cant call landlines. I contacted RWG and they said to reset the network but that did not work. Have not heard from them after saying that.
4th Apr
That's a really strange issue. I have called my GP and dentist on their landline and no issues.
9th Apr
Is there an app to check account usage without sending an SMS. SMS is just so inconvenient nowadays
9th Apr
No app at the moment
20th Apr
So I got the SIM on Monday and transferred my number.ber over today, all good so far... but I cannot check what my status for the bundle... I tried Info ukrwg24 but keeps saying no bundle found.
20th Apr
I assume you purchased this bundle when you ordered your SIM? you can email support@rwgmobile.com to ask about your issue. Please let me know the outcome
29th Apr
Please approach this company and deal with extreme caution. I wish that I have looked at the recent reviews on Trustpilot before taking the plunge and buying from these cowboys. Took 3 days for a number port to complete and left me unreachable on my original number for all that time. Also made the mistake of purchasing one of their data only SIMs which remains inactivated after a week now despite multiple emails, support requests and messaging them on their facebook page. Just try and phone their support line and listen to the message stating that their agents are unavailable all the time and you will know what I am talking about here. I will give them to the beginning of next week to see if they will activate my SIM before reporting the issue to my card issuer and cancelling my accounts.
15th May
I've been waiting 8 days for my number to port in. Absolutely ridiculous.
No one replies to emails and no one answers the support telephone number.
Avoid like the plague
15th May
By contrast my mother's number was ported the same day
