Tried to change to Aldi from Vodagroan, after troubles with the Aldi
site, Voda refused the transfer (although I am on a monthly plan, might
be something wrong with the account as I see Voda have me down with a
number that is not the one I am using, weird). 

Aldi said (in email) to call them & we will fix. Called
them, waited 25 minutes, then a Philippines call centre came on, the
lady spoke so fast with such a strong accent, impossible to understand.
except the part where she said to call Voda.  No thanks, had enough.

Gave up, now trying Woolworth$. Report, if interesting, to follow.
