Thousands of mobile phone users urged to swap SIM cards before they stop working

Thousands of mobile customers across the country have been warned their sims will stop working in the coming month.

Customers belonging to the Plusnet Mobile network are being urged to swap their providers due to the firm shutting down later on in the year. The provider, which is owned by BT Group, only offers SIM cards and not any devices with contracts.

When it closes, users will be unable to use their SIM cards and may lose their phone numbers. It is not yet clear why the provider is being closed or when the SIM cards will stop working, however, BT Group has clarified that customers will be "the first to know", the Mirror reports.
