pay as you go sim cards
 

hi
does anyone know of any mobile network operators which dont require a top up to be activated before use?

Re: pay as you go sim cards
 

Do you mean which will accept an incoming verification call or text without being topped up?

hi yes thats what i mean.

Re: pay as you go sim cards
 

As above, all the big names seem to allow that.

Re: pay as you go sim cards
 

Vodafone are the easiest, expiry dates always seem longer on them as well

Re: pay as you go sim cards
 

doesnt vodafone require an initial top up to be actiavted?

Re: pay as you go sim cards
 

No it doesnt

Re: pay as you go sim cards
 

None of the mobile networks require an initial top up. Usually by inserting sim into a device activates it.

I have tried and tested this on nearly all networks.

I thought Giff Gaff did?, also i think I tried Lebara once and it didn't work

Re: pay as you go sim cards
 

yes giff gaff i think do.

Re: pay as you go sim cards
 

a free asda sim card comes with 10 minutes of calls, 10 texts and 10 mb data. put it in the phone and dial 2732 (from memory i think) no top up required

Re: pay as you go sim cards
 

That is tremendous info. Many thanks.

GiffGaff is no good. You even need to register to get the phone number. I use voda, ee, O2 mostly. Go online and order them for free or go to the supermarket and but them if needed quicker. If buying from the supermarket you can check the phone numbers. I like to get them with the number not too consecutive, if you know what I mean.

re ASDA sim cards if you need to top up for the future they do £5 minimum top up where as all other have minimum £10 top up. ASDA use EE network.
