Toggle Mobile

[Vesko]

Forget Toggle NL, get simply a Toggle UK, it has a much better value. I have received these days a second one here in Germany, ordered via their webshop. No personal data except for address and name. Although, when registering local number in Germany, they allways want to get details of your identity card or passport.

Interesting detail to all of you. We heard rumors here before, that Toggle Mobile will want to shut down somewhen in the future.

I just had a conversation with the Toggle Mobile Helpline to switch off my voicemail and got to know, that Toggle Mobile plans to expand it's services and Belgium and Austria is going to "join at the earliest", whatever that means. Also there was a mentioning about new pricing coming up, but no details at all.

I am really looking forward to get a Austrian Number as this would help me a lot! Hopefully it's not that endless running gag of certain countries joining Toggle Mobile, we had years ago...

@tivoboy,

I agree, the old data packages are greatly missed. Compared to the now present EU roam like at home rates, the old 1 GB for 20 GBP is a bad offer. But if you need the Toggle Sim and it is your only device, the old 1GB for 20 GBP is a not so bad offer, compared to the 15p per MB.

We are going to Spain on holidays on Friday and I played around a little bit with my toggle Simcard. If you use the webarchive or wayback machine to find the old toggle homepage with the codes to activate that 1GB package, it will work! Just did it...

Lycamobile added packages with included EU roaming in the UK, Austria and Germany, quite curious if they will bring it to toggle too!

Out of curiosity I looked into this and thought I'd share a screenshot of their May 2015 website (captured by archive.org) to save others the trouble:

Text summary (data in Toggle countries only, 30 day validity, automatically renewed unless canceled using *190#):

1GB for 20£ - To activate, *141*2000#
2GB for 30£ - To activate, *141*3000#
3GB for 40£ - To activate, *141*4000#

Activating the Data Plan is simple,

Make sure you have enough credit in your account for your chosen value pack
Enter *141*plan code# Dial or just Text the plan code to 3536
To check Data Balance *137#
To cancel the auto renewal *190#

It's a shame that they haven't come out with newer and more reasonable data packages for Toggle countries, but I strongly get the impression that at this point, Toggle is kept alive by inertia only, and we should be grateful it hasn't shuttered. With that in mind, if anyone actually has 20£ or more of credit on a Toggle SIM, you might want to consider a "use it or lose it" approach.

Is Toggle Mobile history? Just tried to go to their website, but the site doesn't load. Weiter the togglemobile.com nor the togglemobile.nl

Don't have my Simard at hand (need to search my cupboard), can someone report if the simcard registers on the network?

My UK Toggle SIM is fine as well. Receiving and sending calls works.

Toggle Mobile customer service told me that they are trying to solve the problem with the web site. Recharging is supposed to work by phone contacting the customer service (321 or 0044 2071 3223 22).


Toggle/Lyca normally respect the EU roaming regulation although they don't publish that. For calls, the UK domestic price is valid in all EU countries, so charging £0,03/minute to all EU mobile and geographical numbers.

One could expect from that, that the UK data bundles also work throughout the whole EU:
500 MB £5 Dial *141*5000# OR Send text to 3536 by typing 5000.
1 GB £7,50 Dial *141*7500# OR Send text to 3536 by typing 7500.
2 GB £10 Dial *141*1000# OR Send text to 3536 by typing 1000.

I have not tested it however.

http://togglemobile.co.uk is back. Reacts a bit slow, but it is there.

Hello


I'm a tooglemobile NL user but the website www.togglemobile.nl is not working for some time now and the SIM card does not register to any network.

I made the last call on the 31/05 to keep the card active

¿Anyone with a toogle mobile NL simcard?



thanks
