The end of PAYG
I've just had a text from Virgin to say that my SIM will no longer work from 11th January 2022 as they will no longer offer PAYG.
I use the phone very rarely, so a contract would be a waste of money. :( |

Move to giffgaff. Or negotiate your package. They might throw in a sim for next to nothing. I got an 18 month 5GB unlimited calls and text for free last haggle. Hoping next haggle in August will let me change from VM to O2 and a volt package on the cheap

(It uses Vodafone network so you should get the same coverage as VM) |

Our daughter pointed me to 1p Mobile PAYG

Yes, ASDA looks like the way to go, I'll ask around and see what local coverage is like with Vodaphone.

After sorting out my daughter's rolling contract, I asked about the PAYG credit refund. All I had to do was give them a card number, and it was refunded immediately.
"I see you have a credit of £8.45, and that you last topped-up in September 2019". |

4p a text, 4p a minute, 4p per Mb with ASDA. All I have to do is sent one text every 6 months to keep it going.
After swapping to the ASDA SIM I now get all bars for signal, a rarity with VM. I checked signal levels when I was around Itshim's area, and it was solid all over the place. |

Unfortunately, Bars mean nothing as there is no standard. 4 bars on one operator could be 1 bar on another. |

Re: The end of PAYG
You dont need a standard number as such.
All that matters is how many you have compared to the max. So 4 bars out of 4 is good, as is 6 out of 6, or 7 out of 7. |
