Heads up for those with an RWG sim - there are outages in the UK at present

[Minxy]

Our main sims are with RWG, hubby's hasn't been working since earlier today and I suspect mine wasn't either, neither are working at all at present and it looks like it's affecting a lot of people.

Thats not great, wonder why?

My global RWG sim is working fine and been working fine all day

 

[Figaro]

Have you had any communication with RWG ?

No idea, just had a shuftie on the website linked above so it seems there there may be issues with RWG/EE for some reason as there's no reports of EE itself having issues.

Nope, I'm gonna put in a support request though - it's pain in the bum as they are our main numbers, ie the one that the care home contacts me on along with my family, and the only number that people have for my hubby. It's the first time we've had any problems with RWG and I've been with them for over 2 years.

Our RWG global is okay here at Kimmeridge Bay.

Been using it for the last week or so in NW Scotland and it's been ok. Not worked occasionally but I'm sure that was do with poor signal not anything else.

Do these other company sims get the same priority and bandwidth as the main service provider’s sims? In other words if there are service limitations do the 4 main service providers give their own products priority?

They absolutely do not get the same service. MVNO’s have separate terms of service which form their offerings to us the consumers. The bigger MVNO’s Tesco, Sky etc are pretty much on a par for service terms with the host network, the small ones have little negotiating power and many of their subscribers are deprioritised and traffic shaped at will by the main network’s algorithms.

If I didn’t need continuous service for up to five months at a time whilst in Europe, I wouldn’t be using Popit, but I do, so I am.

We are in Brum and lost signal on both of ours yesterday late morning, just as our numbers ported over so most unhelpful. Still down now and no response from an email to RWG. We have one sim still with Voda so still able to communicate but still a big hassle. I wonder if RWG have paid their bill?

 

[Vansflyer]

Anyone back on line with RWG by any chance? I keep nagging them and all I get is "we hope to have it sorted soon and we are in touch with BT". Most infuriating tbh!

 

[dpsuk999]

Mine has not gone off

Our numbers finally came back this morning. Happy days and a good start to the week, I hope it is relaible going forward as nothing seems to match it on value for money when roaming. Cheers

 

[cyberyacht]

Still in UK atm. Just turned off the home network and phone hotspot working OK. Just hope it all behaves itself across the ditch.
