RWG offering eSIMs, and Multi Network SIMs and Unlimited Data

Just a note:

RWG Multi Network SIM identifies itself as Tele2 IOT

On first use it appeared to work OK, first selecting THREE 5G and then Vodafone 4G.
However after that it appeared to lock to O2 even when it wasn't the strongest signal.

Yesterday I made a Journey from Crawley, West Sussex to Newbury, Berkshire. The SIM did not budge from O2 (dropping to 3G often on 900) despite very good Vodafone and EE 4G/5G during the journey (on main Motorways and separate phones/SIM).

On the way back (across country) I therefore tried restarts and power down. It still returned to O2. I was however able to set the network selection to manual and use all networks fine but this wasn't the behaviour I really wanted from the SIM.

So its a good backup SIM for the remote car park issue but paying a monthly allowance (especially RWG) it could end up expensive and not provide sufficient data allowance at the actual time its needed.

If I do get another Multi Network I will probably buy one with a "use in 12 months" data allowance. I'd be interested if anyone has tested the behaviour on those specifically advertised as "strongest signal".

For me now its back to my Multi SIM solutions

The RWG Multi Network SIM is no different than a typical travel eSim in behaviour but with a few disadvantages: no way to tell how much data you have left and O2-only. I cancelled my subscription right away.

BNESIM offers 1GB on a subscription with europe-wide roaming for 77p a month and includes a VPN built into the app.

Interestingly my RWG SIM is still on and working despite me cancelling and deleting my account.
 
I’ve done it for you, don’t want them coming after me for unpaid bills when I have made every attempt to shut everything off.
If I recall correctly, they can only back bill up to 3 months.
 
Contacted RWG on 25/06/2023 having cancelled online and deleted my account many days before.

Finally had a response to say the SIM is disconnected today!

Nice speedy service! 😂

came across this thread, some useful info on BNESIM that I just discovered that may be of interest.

I have a BNESIM in phone#1, UK data , this will connect to EE, O2, Three
I just added a BNESIM to phone#2, I decided to add the Europe data bundle instead. I discovered this will connect to EE and Vodafone.
So the two combined, is all 4 networks :) I haven't yet tried both bundles on 1 BNESIM, but if going "very off-piste" I carry both phones anyway.
Also, BNESIM works well on an esim.me physical card (what I have in phone#2),
I'm using high data capacity esims in an esim.me card when on holiday in EU now - I put them in a Gl.inet AX3000 Spitz.

Can confirm, was sent a BNE eSIM and it only has access to EE and Vodafone. I don't think it has VoLTE TAC access on EE unfortunately but I need to test more (I've left it mostly on Vodafone with Seeek for Three (and O2 if I want to do 2G or something) and Firsty for EE).

Carrier shows as telna in NetMonster but Play PL as my carrier profile.
 
Hmm interesting, adding 1month of Europe data to one of mine to see if it adds Vodafone (It's one that's on a 5ber sim in an android phone as it's easier to see the underlaying carrier).

I wonder if it just depends on when they've provisioned the esim or which data plans you have on it does affect it.

Edit: Vodafone access still forbidden

Edit2: Interesting vodafone is no longer showing up with (forbidden) next to it during network search, but it doesn't let it on.
