was cut off when i cut out the tokens, but the word i
can see is PHONE and it says now you have both halves
of the password go to www.dailymail.co.uk/promotions
to claim your travel sim card
hope this helps0 -
many thanks - worked fine
Andrew0 -
The 2 halves are HOLIDAY PHONE
HOWEVER !!!!
I'd check the T&Cs first (and perhaps some of the costs of usage) before signing up for one of these.
Not sure if they are quite as good as they seem - what exactly do you are get that's free - apart from a sim with an annual charge of £12.50 (albeit "included" for the 1st year - I think)
Terms and Conditions of Service >>> http://www.travelfone.com/terms.aspx
and this bit whch seems to refer to the sim that you get sent
MultiIMSI™ SIM Card
2 Mobile numbers: UK and a US one
This sim card comes with a standard UK number and can be used in any country for mobile service. You can activate your US number by dialling 160. This will SMS the US number to you. US customers can now have a US number when travelling abroad and save upto 80% compared to normal operator charges. Users visiting the US can receive calls for free whilst in US and make cheap local and international calls. To receive calls in the US , the user must activate the US sim profile from the handset menu. Calls can be received free in the US when called on the UK number.
The Travelfone SIM can be used in any unlocked mobile phone. All you have to do is replace your regular SIM, and it’s ready to use in over 120 different countries. As you travel between countries, the Travelfone SIM will automatically detect the local mobile phone network, so as soon as you arrive, it’s ready to use. The
Travelfone SIM is ideal for use whether travelling for Business, Family Holidays or even taking a gap year out to travel the world. As it is a Pay As You Go SIM, when the credit is low, you can top-up your account using the instant top-up service from anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day.
Pay as you go SIM with a normal UK phone number
Unlike other roaming SIM cards, Travelfone SIM uses a UK telephone number, so that family, friends, business associates and colleagues in the UK can call you cheaply whilst you are abroad.
________________________________________
Save up to 95% on call charges when travelling abroad
Our calling rates start at 28p/min whether calling a landline or mobile. See our tariffs and check the rates for the Country you are planning to visit.
________________________________________
Received FREE incoming calls in over 65 countries
There is no Roaming Charges in most countries, so you pay nothing to receive calls. This compares to prices from some of the main mobile network operators of up to £1.20 a minute to receive calls. Some of the popular places included are Europe, South Africa, United Arab Emirates (Dubai), Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Tanzania & Japan. Full details are available here
________________________________________
Low Cost Calls and Coverage in over 115 countries
Travelfone SIM works in all the major Countries and is not dependent on any one mobile network - it simply locates the best network signal so you get the best quality and instant connection. See complete list of our destinations here.
________________________________________
Flat rate pricing for calls & text
Travelfone has taken the guesswork out of using your mobile phone abroad – whether you are making or receiving calls. We have split the world into 6 zones for simple straight-forward easy to use flat rate pricing. Wherever you roam within each zone you always pay one rate for incoming calls and one rate for outgoing calls (excluding premium rate numbers). There are no peak rates and we do not use look up tables or have any hidden costs.
________________________________________
Easy 24hours any time top up.
You can up your account very easily anytime and from anywhere. You can call free by dialling 154, or log into your account via our web-site.
________________________________________
No minimum term contract, monthly line rentals, hidden or setup charges
Once you have purchased the Travelfone SIM/Phone all you pay for is the cost of the calls and texts you use and an annual £12.50 network activation charge. The first year annual charge is already included in the price of the Travelfone SIM.
________________________________________
Online, real time account management
You can manage your account online and see what you have spent. All the calls are logged in real-time so you will know immediately how much credit you have left in your account. You can also dial 187 from your Travelfone SIM at any time to check your account balance. You will also be sent a free text message after each call letting you know the cost of your call and your remaining credit balance.
________________________________________
Cheap call forwarding to anywhere in the world
You can redirect all incoming calls to any fixed line or mobile phone number you select. You can also use the Travelfone SIM’s cheap call forwarding facility to call anywhere in the world. See here for call forwarding rates.There are 10 types of people in the world. ‹(•¿•)›(11)A104.28S94.98O112.46N86.73D101.02(12)J130.63F126.76M134.38A200.98M156.30J95.56J102.85A175.93

The text has been changed and it appears there is actually no activation charge or any charge of any kind. Sounds like they picked it up and amended the text. The T&Cs do say that there is no fee of any kind so its safe I think.
