OVIVO is no more

ovivo closing

So OVIVO Mobile is no more as of now 🙁 We’ve been following them since the beginning and we’re sure you’re all as shocked as we are to hear this news completely out of the blue. After all, while we expressed doubts about their business model at the beginning, it seems they’d really carved out a working niche for themselves.

And recently their public-facing side had appeared to be very optimistic. Not only had they claimed to have solved all the issues with their advertising delivery but they’d also been aggressively expanding in recent weeks with high-profile promotional campaigns and generous increases to their free bundles.

Here at Mobile Network Comparison, many of us regularly used OVIVO as a handy backup SIM and many of our readers joined the network in good faith.

Now that their service is completely shut down your phone won’t be working so make sure you head to their site to grab your PAC code as soon as possible so you can port over to a new network.

If you’re struggling to decide who to change to, you might find our comprehensive comparison table pretty useful to make sense of the myriad options out there.

And Giffgaff have also announced a promotion to help people out.

To give ex-OVIVO customers a them a kick start, if they port their number before the end of April Giffgaff will give them and extra £5 credit to get them back on their feet.

This is really an incredible deal as you still get the £5 bonus credit we’re ofering as well. So in total, the offer is that you get a grand total of £10 extra credit completely free!

They have also changed their post to 1st class for anyone ordering a free SIM between now and Sunday 23rd March, to help them out further.

So whoever you decide to switch to we wish all you OVIVO users a speedy transfer to your new provider.

Amazing unlimited deal

tpo umlimited deal

The People’s Operator have come up with what we reckon is their best offer yet. For a limited time you can get a great-value unlimited tariff for just £14.99.

This must be the cheapest unlimited bundle currently available but you better be quick as it’s such a bargain they’re only making it available until the end of February.

Not only are you making an ethical choice but also you get a great signal and the tariff doesn’t lock you into any sort of contract or force you to sign up for two years in advance. It’s just their normal 30-day rolling subscription which you can stop or change whenever you fancy.

It’s undeniable that this is a fantastic proposition that many people will be eager to snap up while they can. But in case you’re not sold yet, we have a few extras to sweeten the deal.

Not only do you get unlimited everything for less than fifteen quid but if you order now you also will be entered into an exclusive prize draw to win a brand-new Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone. There are also five runners-up prizes of £15 free credit. So if you’re feeling lucky this is a nice added bonus.

Even better we can also offer you a free month of this unlimited allowance. Yes, really! Just enter the code TPODEAL when you sign up for your SIM card and you’ll get your second month on this deal completely free.

To summarise – this is one of the only unlimited tariffs currently available and it’s at the ridiculously low price of just £14.99. Not only that, but everyone also gets one month free as well as the chance to win some fab prizes. Of course, you also get the satisfaction and warm feeling of knowing you’re doing good at the same time. The only issue is you need to act now because the 28th will be your last chance to get in on this offer.

So what are you waiting for? 🙂
