Probably a scam company

Probably a scam company.
So, I bought 3 numbers from them. The first number - they told me they don't sell physical SIMs and sent me a PUK number. All worked fine.
The next two are where the fun begins. They came in a flimsy envelope, just the plastic parts of the SIM, without the provider's usual outer packaging. One of them was actiavated ok. The second one couldn't be activated. The provided code did not match. When I was buying the Sims, it was stated that they are both from GifGaf, in reality, one was O2, and the other was from Vodafone. The Vodafone one did not activate, and when we called Vodafone, they told us that someone was using this card days before it arrived!!!! So, now we couldn't pass any Vodafone checks and couldn't get PUK number. I messaged the company and am waiting for their reply, but tbh all this looks like a scam now, and I will probably replace all the SIM cards. Disappointed.

We are sorry to hear about your experience. Concerns like this can be worrying for customers, which is why we are always happy to clarify any misunderstandings and resolve issues quickly.

We are a family-run business that has proudly served thousands of customers since 2019.

To clarify a couple of points and avoid confusion:

• We only sell brand new numbers. As part of our preparation process we activate the SIM and set a SIM PIN to ensure security before dispatch, which appears as prior network activity.
• All three numbers purchased were delivered on PAYG SIM cards by post, and all three SIM cards were activated through our website.
• As we are not the mobile network provider, SIM cards are supplied without the network’s retail packaging which is standard practice.

When our support team was contacted at 7pm on Friday 13th, we responded within a few hours to resolve the issue and provide reassurance.

It's important to us that all customers are happy with their purchases, which is why we offered either a full refund if the numbers are no longer required or our assistance if there are any outstanding issues with getting connected.

Very slow but gets there in the end, be patient

I'm pleased to say the number I wanted was eventually delivered and I'm using it successfully now, so overall I'm satisfied. This was a better experience than the one I had with a competitor that failed to deliver after weeks of delay (refund given). The number was delivered on a GiffGaff SIM with some credit on it and that has worked really well - a good price and good coverage.

I've taken off one star because (as others have said) the whole process took several weeks (roughly a month) and I don't understand why transferring a number should take that long. If you were starting up a company and wanted to get publicity sorted this would be a major problem.

I've taken off another star because of poor communication - silence at first, then promising delivery dates that were repeatedly exceeded. That made me very nervous because of my previous bad experiences and because I didn't trust them, which meant I couldn't get new business cards printed.

I had some trouble finding a cheap way to redirect my old number to voicemail or my phone. I ended up using a VoIP account with Andrews & Arnold, and (for a different number) an ASDA PAYG SIM, both very cheap options. It turns out British Numbers could have helped but I didn't know that.

There are thousands of numbers available, which is a good thing but most of them are not very memorable at all so a better filtering system would have been useful. Too many had no obvious pattern at all, or long strings of repeated digits that are hard to read and pronounce. I ended up just going through numbers one by one until I found one I liked.

Issue with Delayed Number Resolved in the End

Long delay in obtaining phone number but matter resolved.

Ordered 20th August and communication hasn't been the best but when the number finally arrived they helped rectify the situation.

Thank you for your feedback and for your patience. We’re sorry for the delay in getting you connected, the SIM was lost in the post and it took us longer than expected to recover and redeliver your number.

We’re glad we were able to resolve the matter. As part of that resolution we provided a full refund and delivered the number free of charge in recognition of the delay you experienced.
