RWG Mobile Reviews 

Used NOW mobiles live chat as sim was saying emergency calls only.Got in touch via website, and sim was working again within 15 mins
Much better than trying to contact RWG themselves.
Do not use now mobiles app ,only website

Wanted a spare PAYG, this worked for a while, even overseas recently, went to use the phone yesterday, credit had all gone, data switched off, no usages since 29/2, £10 credit disappeared! Customer service useless, unreliable, about to port out to another provider as need to keep the number active. Appears to have transferred to NOW telecom as the old CS number is no longer active.

I have had many issues with RWG Mobile over the past few months including billing errors, and there is no customer service at all. I recommend going to the communications ombudsman website to get issues resolved, use the drop down to enter RWG and let them know of your issues. They can get issues corrected and even get you compensation.

I had no service since mid-February. Had a PAC, which was supposed to last until June, but it expired in April. Just before Easter 2025 I was finally able to get through to NOW mobile support line - it used to disconnect after 10 minutes on hold, but seems to be fixed now. A chap did something, and I was able to request a new PAC and transfer my number to a network that actually works. I urge you to do the same as soon as possible if you don't want to risk losing your number and all services that may be linked to it.

Still no response from RWG - not by e-mail, not on Facebook. Stay away, it used to be a very good company, but since December 2024 it's a scam - you will lose money if you buy from them.

Great help and precise instructions from Hassan,
Works fine now.
Thanks

My PAYG sim card somehow got deactivated even though it still had plenty of credit in it and I use it weekly. No customer service at all and ignored my requests to fix my account/sim. Do not deal or buy from this company they are basically non-existent.

I had been with RWG Mobile for a few years and the customer service has been fairly good.

Recently, in common with many other people this support has become non existent. I had a problem with my account being unable to make calls. Twice I contacted RWG, once by email and once by their online contact form. A big fat zero response to either, even after several weeks and no reply from their support phone number either.

Therefore, I consider that this company is not worth bothering with now, unless you want to be stuck on your own with no solution to your issue.

I emailed them on Monday to reactivate my sim. No answer yet, sent a chaser email too. Looks like something is going badly wrong there.

I've been with RWG since September 2022, on PAYG non-contract. Until recently all has been fine. However, recently people have experienced problems calling me - they get no dial tone and I get no missed call message. The Newport number beginning 01633 has a voicemail, directing you to either a London number or 669, the NOW customer support number. I was told by them that indoor reception is not as good as outdoors which may be an explanation. I emailed RWG customer support on 27 March, received an auto reply with a reference number but have yet to hear back. Does anyone know if I change provider will RWG refund any credit on my card?

I note there are a lot of negative reviews, but I have had no problems. I ordered the sim in late Feb, it arrived two days later, when fitted it worked straight away, no need to activate it. At only £2/m, I'm not aware of a cheaper alternative. What's not to like.

I bought a Teaser SIM from RWG in November 2024. Two arrived so I rang to ask if there had been an error, I was told no it was part of the offer (I hadn't seen that) but one only lasts for one month - not a lot of point having it.

Since putting the SIM into my old mobile, I just wanted to use it as a spare and keep it in my car, I am sure I tried ringing a number and it worked. I tried it yesterday first ringing my smart phone number, it was a message saying I could't use it to connect to that phone. I then tried my landline, same again. I was very puzzled as I get an email each month to say that they had received my £2 payment. I rang the number on their website, a recorded message said the number had changed, so I noted it and rang it - Nothing. I tried 669 again nothing. A bit later on, still on their (NOW) SIM card I tried 669 again and was in a queue, I held on. A male voice with an accent (not welsh) speaking quickly and quietly answered and it was Now Mobile. I asked him to speak louder and more slowly, still had difficulty hearing him (I am not deaf). He eventually confirmed that I was speaking with RWG. I tried to explain what the problem was and he said the SIM wasn't activated and there was no activity on my account. Oh, really! I asked how come money was being taken from me each month with an email confirmation, I said I wanted to cancel my account but the website needed another password which I didn't have but that I was already in my account. He told me to email RWG, I asked if they would answer he said yes. I didn't hear back. This morning I looked at my account again and saw that I could go into my subscription (rather than cancel account) I did so and cancelled it. I have paid £12 for nothing - ok not a huge amount in the scheme of things but I could do without wasting my OAPension. I have sent another email explaining what happened and asked for a refund as I had paid for just a bit of card/metal. I am waiting for a response.

I joined RWG as I thought it was an independent company with good customer service. I have found that the top-up/balance enquiry number, 669, has no connection and that when calling customer services you are offered service options in many different languages, which does not speak of a UK or 'proudly Welsh' company. After holding for a while waiting for the call to be answered, I was informed 'we have high call volume, please call back later, goodbye'. Ok, goodbye RWG...

Good customer service and I'm on a great plan

If it was possible to give this totally useless company a negative star, I would. They only know how to take money through promises. What surprises me is that OFCOM allows a total bogus company like RGW to continue to trade. Painful to see hard earned cash being stolen by the one-man show by the name “Tim”.
Useless, useless, useless….beyond words. Should be shutdown and prosecuted for fraud.

Ordered a SIM for £18, it arrived very slowly via 2nd class post. The packaging and instructions are proudly Welsh, but contain outdated numbers and useless information.

The SIM itself had a Swedish number and it was completely impossible to activate or contact anyone from the company.

They posted SIM by 2nd class post took over a week to get to me.
I was planning to use in a LoRa gateway needing only a few k data per month, put it into a device using recommended APN, nothing connected.
Tried to call support, number redirected, tried the new number, no answer.
I wish I'd read other reviews first!

RWG has gone downhill pretty darn quick. They are in breach of the rules of providing pac codes within minutes (eSIM on gamma). Not Gammas fault, just crap RWG as they are not a partner of Gamma anymore… someone pulled the plug?
Luckily I found a post about a contact email at gamma and got my PAC code within 1 hour of emailing them. Have now left and moved my number to another provider.
I still have another RWG sim which is on NOW platform and the text pac works so just getting a new pac every 30 days should the service fail.

they wont let you leave, good business model?

One the most helpful people I have encountered. And total satisfaction with the results

Cancelled my subscription the day I received my SIM, never activated. Yet the month later they took another payment, ignoring my emails too.
