UK eBay & PaypalGeneral discussions about eBay.co.uk Suspensions and Paypal.co.uk limited accounts. This forum is geared towards UK eBay & Paypal sellers.
I'm creating a few stealth accounts to get a few feedbacks and let them age until this problem with paypal limitations is sorted.
My question is - Are there any PAYG sim cards out there that will accept text messages without having to top up with any credit?
Any thoughts are appreciated, thank you
Dont they all??
You just need credit to send messages...not receive.
If you are keeping sim card stored.away for.future please note that many sim cards expire after 3 months or so if you dont top up....so you will have to put a fiver on it at some point :-)

I always use to use Orange PAYG sims as they would receive texts without having any credit. I have now been told that this is no longer the case since their merge with T mobile and you now need credit to receive texts. I was always under the impression that this has always been the case with Vodaphone so I've never used them.
So is this false? Can you please confirm which ones are best to use. Thanks

Nope never heard of that one either, I'm on orange/ee and it truly works great, you know you can be building up some very useful feedback and sales while you are waiting for developments in the paypal limitations to get sorted out, might have to wait a while for that issue to be resolved which gives you plenty of time to get busy selling and creating some income for yourself
Yeah RosieTosie you're right, I'm using this time to get some feedback on older accounts I've been leaving to age.
Peterspike I like the idea of sorting your sim cards like that. I'm going to use that idea as I've just cleared out Tesco of all their Vodaphone PAYG sim cards. I can't believe I've been avoiding Vodaphone all these years and they work fine without credit !!! Yet another thing I have to thank the forum for.
does one need a seperate sim for each stealth account, or could you simply use a number forwarding service, and if so, does anyone know of any free uk ones that also forward texts aswell as calls? thx

You are better off with a separate sim for each account it makes life easy.

Yes....but as long as all those sim cards are in a device to accept a call that could come at any time. Never presume that you will only get an arranged call....they may just call unplanned.

The brilliant thing about this is that. You just need to top it up when you need to make a call.
Apart from this. It is great to use for a stealth accounts
It accepts text messages and call without topping it up.
Very cost effective.
