Easymobile Uk To Close

It closes in a month's time.

not really surprising, given that they already closed operations elsewhere, and never picked up enough customers here

It will be a pity not to use up the ?72 of credit they sold me for ?2, and I hoped it would last a few months longer

However, it appears the arrangement they have made with CPW to transfer to Fresh includes ?15 free credit ...

have a feeling that richard B was right, when stelios was proposing the launch of easymobile he said he was to late!

the dutch one closed a while ago, guess it was just a matter of time!

Do you remember Buytel from Ryan? My general thought is that low-cost airlines and MVNOs simply don't match each other - a curse? :P
