1 Year eSIM - Unlimited mins, Unlimited SMS & 5GB data every month for 12 months - One-off charge

Mine still works too, it stopped working for me about two years ago, read somewhere that you need to use the SIM, a call or text within three months for it to be kept active.

I sent an email and they reactivated my SIM.

Hope that helps. (edited)

@ Mr.Plow according to the RWG Mailshot, the new RWG regular sims that work on the Three network are only available on the new Unlimited Plan:
mailchi.mp/f7b…c3d

There is no guarantee that this eSIM deal is available on a regular SIM, which is why I have stressed eSIM.

Not sure if it is a cynical comment or you actually had a good experience. Has been really bad experience communicating with them

That's disappointing, did you receive a refund?

Neither this nor Ovivo were anything like a Ponzi scheme.

I've been on RWG for 4 years without an issue and without paying a penny.

Reading over on ISPreview forums the esim is activating as Gamma.
They may have moved, or they had issues with EE, who knows.

Mine worked, until I went well over last month. Hasn't reset today

Spusu (EE) Have a £2.90 Offer with 1GB Data and unlimited mins and texts. Go via MSE.

Lebara (Vodafone) have a £3.95 offer, at £1.58 for the first 3 months if you go via Uswitch. 200 Mins, unlimited texts, 1GB Data.

If it's mostly for incoming calls though, you might be better off on a cheap pay as you go account? O2 Classic is 3p a minute, 2p a text, 1p a megabyte. Credit doesn't expire. Account remains active if you make a chargeable call at least once every 180 Days.

I did use RWG 12 months sim too. Then the 12 months expired so I placed order for 5GB for £4. When placing order I put my old number to add this to the sim I had in my phone. Guess what, the order sat as Order Received for 3 days and they sent me a new sim with a new number!
Contacted RWG Custimer Services since but so far (4th day of email trail) they cannot even tell me how to check my remaining data allowance where the call to the short number that used to work with my other RWG number gives me error message instead of the information I need. The RWG CS guy in the email alluded that the information about data allowance would come through in an email, which you know is not what I asked and I admit was a shock for me to hear they do not make sense!
My advice is only use them if you need data only service as your third sim and you get around places where both EE and Three deliver strong signal. Why I even mention Three, I chose EE during the checkout and I can see (speed test tells me this ) that the sim is using Three network ...
Which explains why I get 3 to 4 mbits speeds only.... Lucky for me I only ordered this sim as data sim on rare ocassions.
Not having an app or viable way to check how much data is left leaves me wondering if I will be ditching the RWG next month.
Trust pilot has plenty stories about how people who took their data sims for data allowance in EU got shafted by them scaling down the data allowance without telling, and you read on RWG website nor eir less this "we had to change the allowance as due to increase in operator charges these are not viable for us anymore "!
Imagine someone taking out and paying upfront for their 12 months Sim with 100GB or 200GB to use abroad, only a month later they find out that they cannot use data as the new limit is a mere 15GB...

It applys to a add on bundle for a month .
I know cause iv just added the £5 add on bundle for £4.
I imagine it applys to the others as well

In the same boat, don’t want the risk. Can you share link for Lebara please? One-off purchase for a year would be ideal. (edited)

They reset at the beginning of the month

Really informative reply, thanks so much helped so much in my decision of whether to purchase or not

Can you then cancel before the price increases after 6 months and take up another offer?

It's not that unusual. Anywhere SIM and Anywhere eSIM are another example of this. There's a few others too.

It's a good option for when you need signal in as many places as possible. They make roaming arrangements with all the networks to allow you free access to them all.

They are ok if you don't need to contact custom service which is terrible and don't answer most of the time.
I have been with them since the beginning with a life time sim which i got free and i still get the free allowance every month but only once had to contact them i did get an answer but about 2 weeks later.
looking at most reviews they are saying terrible things about there custom service which you would think they would improve with all the complaints.

Do that with any network. Same thing. (edited)
