I hadn't seen any mention of this on here but after looking to see what their current offers were I found that Plusnet are no longer offering SIM only plans to new customers and instead ushering you to EE. Looks like existing customers aren't affected and will be still with Plusnet for now.
I know EE, Plusnet and BT are all owned by the same company but looks like they are streamlining their services.

Plusnet’s future is still in question
All mobile operations are going to EE only from now on. There’s rumours that everyone on BT mobile and Plusnet mobile will be migrated by the end of the year but I can’t say how much truth there is in that.
For you, if you’re looking for an EE Powered SIM Only remember you can get cheaper EE SIMs via the BT website, or check out networks that piggyback like CMLink, 1pMobile, Vectone, Now Mobile, RWG, Utility Warehouse, and Ecotalk. Hopefully at least one of them has something to suit your needs.
I personally won’t miss Plusnet mobile. Their service was too restrictive. No 5G, No VoLTE, No WiFi Calling, No Band 20, No shortcodes etc.
20GB 5G support, 1 month contract and £7/month. Possible £12 TCB as well. Oh and roaming included (edited)
Also I'm from the other side to you. Rather than Orange I used to work for T-Mobile and am still clinging on desperately to my old staff account before it's finally shut down soon. In the meantime I'm on £10.50 a month for unlimited 3G Data, 2000 Minutes and unlimited texts. Just like you say no other network can really compete with EE Signal and there's usually a price premium to pay for this.
Anyway I went to Sky’s free sim, now £1 a month. someone on here said plusnet were sending new sims to these £1 legacy plans. So 4g and 5g maybe. They have had rpi increses but I let mine go when I moved to sky.
Anyone remember everyday 50 from Orange? If three merge with voda and reduce networks to 3 then that’ll be bad news. Orange was great always had reception even though in those days it was just cslls and texts that we were interested in.
In all honesty I am not sure I would stay even if they offered that by some miracle. Once the 3G Network is shut down I will be moving to o2 (Or at least someone who piggybacks on them) who are keeping their 3G Network running for a while longer yet. I find it more stable and reliable for voice calling compared to VoLTE which I will otherwise be forced to use.
Report/s of closure to current subscribers. (MSE)
“We will be closing all our mobile services in the coming months. This means you’ll need to switch your service to another provider in the future”
RWG offer a sim 250 mins and texts and 2gb data for £25 a year or £35 for two years. Works out at £1.46 a month. Worth going for that if you need EE signal.
£7.49 for unlimited minutes and 6GB of data suited me perfectly.
The very same EE Signal but with added 5G Support, 10GB Data, Unlimited calls and texts, and inclusive EU Roaming. £7.50 A month with no contract and no price increases.
