How to keep your PAYG sim cards organized for multiple accounts
 

It is a pain to try and keep your multiple eBay accounts organized but I always look for an easy method.

This is for your ebay phone numbers that are used with sim cards.

I keep them all in order with this sim card holder. This is the best way of keeping your sims organized.

You can get the sim card holders off eBay.

Just use a label printer like a dymo for the sticky labels.

The best sims to use (for the UK)

I use Tesco mobile sims they are £1 each and come with 20p credit on them, dial 4444 to get your number and they receive texts.

Also if you top them up with £10 credit they give you £20 free on top

Great idea. I've always gone with the "throw them all in a folder technique" which doesn't work.

I find it a lot easier to use phone forwarding services.

Its all good and well having sim card organised but what happens when PayPal tried to ring?

any USA phones I can use like this???

Re: How to keep your PAYG sim cards organized for multiple accounts
 

Technically you could do it with tracfones, I believe they use SIM cards...so in theory you could have 1 Tracfone and multiple Sims and just swap them out when needed.

If you dont top up, how long for the tesco sim card before it expires?
I been using 02 but with no top up itexpires in 1-2 months.

Re: How to keep your PAYG sim cards organized for multiple accounts
 

If you are expecting PayPal to ring just insert the correct sim into a cheap unlocked phone you can buy these credit card
sized phones from ebay. All as you do then is insert the sim card attached to the account you are expecting the call from.

Look at above post you could do it this way.

They will last forever there is no time limit on them.

Re: How to keep your PAYG sim cards organized for multiple accounts
 

Phone forwarding is by far the best option.
In my case, i have the one obviously in each phone and for the two phones that i have multiplied accounts to, i use phone forwarding.
Which reminds me....a dual sim phone might be good for me :-)

Re: How to keep your PAYG sim cards organized for multiple accounts
 

But what if you are not expecting them to ring...stranger things have happenned lol

Re: How to keep your PAYG sim cards organized for multiple accounts
 

This was just to answer JamesNorth101's post, I cant see them ringing you for no reason unless you request it.

Re: How to keep your PAYG sim cards organized for multiple accounts
 

You are VERY wrong. If they ring and there is no answer, a nice little MC008 Pending Verification of identity or MC999.

Same can happen with PayPal but expect a harsh limitation if the number they call comes back saying this is not in service....

Re: How to keep your PAYG sim cards organized for multiple accounts
 

They do. Both eBay and PayPal. This is why phone forwarding is the best option unless you want a lot of mobiles with sims in them laying about.

Re: How to keep your PAYG sim cards organized for multiple accounts
 

It will just go through to the answering service its not as if the phone is dead.

But I see your point if they do call, I have never known in all my life I have been with eBay / PayPal for them to just call you out of the blue.

This would make an interesting thread I would like to see if this has happened to many members.

If so then maybe call forwarding is the answer, I just find this way easy to manage.

Re: How to keep your PAYG sim cards organized for multiple accounts
 

That would be a pain because you would have to keep charging them all every couple of days.

Re: How to keep your PAYG sim cards organized for multiple accounts
 

Exactly, hence why call forwarding is a lot easier

Re: How to keep your PAYG sim cards organized for multiple accounts
 

I see Tesco have them in the website store. Can you purchase the Tesco sim cards in their shops?
Thanks for any replies
Does Poundland have them?
UPDATE:
Ah you can order one or more online and then pick up in store the next day.

Re: How to keep your PAYG sim cards organized for multiple accounts
 

You are best going direct to the Tescos store they are only £1, they are selling them on eBay for £3 each :eek:

Some guy was selling 100 Tesco sims for £300 I cant understand how they sell any if you can get them for a £1.
