Fresh uses T-Mobile. Tesco uses O2

thanks. We go to a place with only Voda and Orange cover so neither of
the above are ideal

I was thinking exactly the same thing Tariq, use all my credit up on
easymobile, then get the free sim card with £10 on it, use that up
then that's it, I have no intention of funding anything to do with
CrookedPhone Warehouse

I got a free EasyMobile simcard a few months back as a spare, which came
with about 20 quid's worth of free airtime IIRC - I've hardly used any
of it yet (so EM have now clawed back quite a bit due to lack of use).
Have never paid for any top-ups at all.

Does anyone know whether my current balance will be transferred if I was
to go with this CPW offer?

Thanks
David

No, you'll get a Fresh SIM with £10 free credit. You will be refunded any
outstanding credit on the Easymobile SIM excluding any bonuses/referral fees
etc., so if you didn't pay for any of the airtime you won't get any money
back.

I'm frustrated that I will have to switch in mid-December. However, for
the whole of today (18/11/2006) I've had zero network coverage in the
middle of London!

Anyone else getting this? Have easymobile had the plug pulled on them?

This is frustrating as I have to be on-call for work and was planning
to organise a phone switch by the official cut-off date.

Ben.

Why? This is very interesting Q. Looks like it was big very well
organized anti-easyGroup campaign and I have some thoughts WHO was
behind it. It seems it's a very well known Web Reputation Management
company acting on behalf of a very well-known UK mobile phone sales
network.
Just look at this http://www.easy-mobiles.co.uk/
easyMobile tried to get to the top in search engines and lost - so did
its whole business. Dog eat dog and I'm not surprised that there were
many who were only happy to help it crash.
