What's the deal?

Ikea is offering 10,000 free PAYG sim cards, plus £3 free credit on a first come, first served basis. As Ikea call prices are some of the cheapest around this is a good freebie.

How to get one

Simply fill in your details on the Ikea page and the first 10,000 to do so before 5 May will get a free sim with £3 credit loaded on. A sim card's the special chip you put in your phone to give it its ID.

Anything else?

You'll need an unlocked handset to be able to use the sim. Read the Unlock Your Mobile article for full details.

You only have 30 days from when you receive the sim to use the free credit, after this it'll expire. You can get another £2 credit by signing up to the automatic top up service, but this will involve registering your card details for a continuous payment to be taken when your credit falls below £3.

Only one sim per household.

    Its a good deal, but why go with Ikea when Asda is cheaper. Myself and my family have been with Asda now for a few months and had no problems whatsoever. They use the Vodafone network so we have great coverage, we even kept our own numbers. At 8p per minute to any network and 4p a text you cannot go wrong.:D:D:D:D

    catcha125 has a good point. OK, so a free £3 credit might be a good steal - but you'll confuse everyone else with your new number that you keep for one month!

    Asda PAYG is to be cheaper for normal usage (UK texts, UK calls) so I'm sticking with my Asda sim.

    An Asda sim is 47p to buy, but they were doing a deal in-store; if you buy £5 top up, you get the sim for free!! (not sure if that's still on)

    Happy Money Saving :money:

    Does anyone know which network Ikea use? I hope it's not Orange since that would be useless for most parts of Orkney!

    That's any Pay As You Go sim card, like this one from Ikea or the one from Asda which is cheaper to use (apart from the free £3 from Ikea)
