yeh you top it up at any time in a month and then from then to the end of the month you get 300 texts and 300 free wap minutes.

Your month starts on the day you top up. ie if you top up on the 5th of the month it runs till the 5th of the next month.

If then you do not top up until the 15th of the month, the texts and WAP run until the 15th of the next month.

There are loads of adverts on ebay saying there is a 'trick' so you can get your 300 texts every month without having to top up.

Any ideas?

there was a post on this a while ago.. it doesn't work though, as im sure waster or smirnoff_11(?) will tell you. it had something to do with you changin the date on your phone but it doesnt work anymore as the date on the sim cards comes from the network. hope this helps.

A quick question regarding these free or very low price SIM cards.

I am getting one for my wife, but she is a low user, if she doesn't use all her credit by the end of the 30 days and doesnt top up?

She is not bothered about the free texts or wap stuff, just wants a cheap o2 sim for her phone.

After 30 days will she loose her remaining credit?, can she continue as normal after 30 days as long as she makes the occassional call?

Any help on this will be appreciated.

to keep your credit there is a minimum top up of £10 every 3 months

i not topped up for few months, but messages free!!

are you sure about this, not the info I have.

Hey )

I disagree with the previous comment that if you fail to top up each month you lose your credit. I recently got one of these sims and althought it hasn't been a month I did call 02 who informed me that if you don't top up you lose the 300 messages until the following month but you do not lose your credit. So if you top up on the 10th you get 300 texts but if you fail to top up on the 10th of the following month you won't get your 300 texts for that month.

Peace out

I think it's only subjected to a 180-day cut off if it hasn't been used to make or revieve a call.

Thats good then, she will make perhaps one or two calls a week so that suits my needs.

the sims are free again they were 99p last nite and dident order one and then went on 2day and they r free again so wonder how long they will stay free.

Yes, they 'were' free again yesterday, i ordered a few myself, but this morning they are indeed back to 99p. ( which is still a bargain i suppose )

i bought one of those sim cards for 99p

i got it yesterday, and topped it up with £10 today about 1pm, its now 8.22pm and i still don't have a text msg from o2 to say i have 300 free text msg! i have sent text with the sim and it charges me everytime,

what should i do? any clues>....should i contact customer service....?? confused

any help would b much appreciated!!

thanx

I believe it may take 24 hours before you receive the text and you MUST keep your mobile switched on.

I didnt leave my phone on and got no message from o2 (tho thats probably cause i turned my phone off) and i still got my free msgs in 24 hours

The official line is that it takes about 24 hours to activate. Although from experience it is usually less

hi,

did any of u guys ordered when the sim card was free earlier this week? and has it arrived yet? i ordered one on saturday and managed to get by post on tuesday for 99p but i ordered the free ones on monday, and have not recieved anything? anyone else?alhthough i got an email to say that an order was placed??

cheers

I ordered four when they were free the other night, they all came today

Please somebody can you give me the link to check when the 02 sim card is free. There is a link to buy it at 0.99p, does one has to pay for postage or is it free? I have just bought one from e-bay @£5 before I knew of this forum. Thanks

It depends - they are ocassionally free when you click the link, but most of the time 99p.

Is there a maximum to the amount you can order?

I ordered 2 of these a few days ago when they were free but they are now 99p, how long do they take to come?

Will watch out for the link, 0.99p is still a bargain. I bought one for £1.50 on e-bay and paid £2.95 for postage. Do they charge for postage or is it 0.99 with free postage? Members who are on online tariff,please your advice are required. I have just send a text to charge my tariff to Orginal, how do I know that it has been changed, it's nearly 48 hrs gone and have not heard from 02. I have also not received a text regarding my free texts and that's well over 24 hrs gone. I have not tried to send text in case I am being charged. Is there anyway I can check whether the free texts have been activated, please. I am a newbie, I am not sure whether standard rate online original is .30p or .35p. Also what number of 02 is free, I understand customer service is charged at 0.50p. sorry about all these questions. May be one of you will be kind enough to answer my post. Thanks.

Do you have to complete a registration form before you can order? As it is asking me for my username and password.

Yes, you have to register with them.
