Been a happy customer of rwg for over two years until just recently when My iPhone (4g but not 5g) has great trouble making simple phone calls or sending txt messages. The phone shows connection to... See more

Once you know who to contact!
Whilst the EE signal in my house and surrounding area is poor and this is down to EE and not RWG, WiFi calling gets round this when indoors.
If you need support, just go to the now mobile website and use chat, any issues you have will be addressed promptly. NOW and RWG are sister companies with support handled by NOW but unfortunately RWG don’t make that clear.
Good support
James and other members of support team were very helpful resolving issue with EPOS SIM.
Doesn't work in a ebike. Poor support
The support is absolutely awful and the website is massively out of date. But the SIM card was cheap so thought it would be great for my e-bike tracking. However I've spent hours with APN settings on support trying to make this SIM card work. The support made me change packages, upgrade packages and even add extra credit on to try and make it work. I feel like a sucker that I've been scammed. They are giving Wales a bad name.

I had the pleasure of speaking to Alex who sorted my issues seamlessly, great customer service.
James was really helpful & efficient
James was really helpful & efficient, thank you. (Transpired my 24 month contract expired after 1 month instead of being set up to roll on each month. James resolved the issue quickly & easily).
Even the Ombudsman couldn't make them apologise
I had to go to the Ombudsman to have them refund me money they took in error. It took months, during which time RWG repeatedly emailed me asking to drop / withdraw my Ombudsman case.
The Ombudsman requested them to pay me compensation and send me a formal letter of apology. They paid the compensation, but months later I still have not received my letter of apology, despite chasing it multiple times.
As other recent reviews suggest
As other recent reviews suggest, it looks like they're going under. No replies in weeks to emails, no service. Shame. But avoid.
RWG's review bots are running rampant!
Maybe RWG could spend resources and time improving their woefully inadequate services and their customary head-in-sand responses to all the justified complaints instead of employing bots to post all the inauthentic positive reviews of late.
The support via chat is great!
The support via chat is great!
In a couple of minutes I've solved the problem of 2 different sims.

Alex was very helpful and polite
Alex was very helpful and polite. Thank you !
Excellent customer service
Excellent customer service. Alex was very helpful in sorting out my order and then with the porting of my number to the new Sim.
Unresponsive customer service
Unresponsive customer service. Contact number on emails isn't the right one. Takes ages for a top-up to get processed.
no signal for 5-6 weeks
Having had no signal for 5-6 weeks and several futile calls to the call centre I went online chat an operator called Joe resolved the problem in 3 days. It only took that long as I had to wait for a new SIM card to arrive
Customer service ZERO
I have a spare phone in the car for safety reasons. I just want the sim live without having to keep creditting as I will only use in an emergency. I have messaged them, I have emailed them regards my DV situation wanting to know if I need to top up every 6 months to keep it live or just use the phone - so I have called it and text it from my regular phone. No-one bothers to get back to you. Ive tried the chat facility, nothing comes back either. Seems they care not about you.
RWG Mobile are no more
RWG Mobile are no more. They don't exist. NOW MOBILE bought them. I am with RWG and I cannot get my balance as am on pay-as-you-go. I have tried to contact NOW Mobile many times, but no luck. I am having to find a new mobile provider.
Dire
Dire - I made the mistake in believing I was joining an independant firm, nope its another firm taken over by capitalistic locusts, that is called 'NOW' (the founders of RWG took the money and ran, like startups always do) 'NOW' also run 'talk home mobile' which is also crap. I tried to port my number across to RWG - says 2 days to complete - utter rubbish, it didnt happen - when I contacted 'customer support' the guy hadn't a clue and said I was mistaken - it clearly states it will take a maximum of 2 days on the port request form and it never happened even after a week. I shall kiss my £2 sim card away and head elsewhere. You should also remember that these companies don't allow you to send picture mgs with their payg tariffs and half the time they block you sending regular sms msgs too.. And (no, I'am not finished just yet..) remember that the monthly payment you make is a 'continuous debit' payment (not a regular direct debit) meaning that you cannot cancel it by online banking, you will need to speak to your bank, the mobile companies do this so they can continue to take monthly payments even when you have closed your acct with them(!) So suggest you avoid RWG, Talk Home' and 'NOW' which are just more examples of firms being cut to the bone by greedy, sweaty palmed Rolex wearing 'investors'.
Avoid RWG mobile
RWG mobile is the worst company I've ever dealt with, I applied for a sim only deal for a one off payment of £30 per year, only to find the telephone provider they used was EE, for which I was told by RWG, that the signal was excellent in my area, but this wasn't the case, as I couldn't get no signal whatsoever, so obviously I requested a full refund, (within the 14 day cooling off period) via a telephone call from my wife's phone and then via email but their response was none existent, so after many failed attempts to get my money back, I turned to my bank, who were very helpful and successful in getting my money reimbursed, so my advice to anyone looking for a new sim only deal, AVOID Rwg mobile at all costs, if I could have given them no stars I would have done.
Shocking
Shocking, may as well throw your money in the fire and talk to a brick wall. No responses, no support, still taking payments on website. Avoid at all costs!
I never received a SIM card ordered in…
I never received a SIM card ordered in January. Their customer service number cuts off after 1 ring and they do not acknowledge or reply to customer support email. I went to my bank to get my money back but this morning I discovered they had taken another payment. Have reported as fraud
