    I got my sim free with a magazine voucher but you can buy the sim from the Orange shop for £4.99 and it gives you 500 free texts at the weekend for six months.

    I'm a bit of a numpty when it comes to this mobile lark...but if i bought one of these 500 free text sims for £4.99 from orange would i be able to alternate with the sim in my present mobile? is swapping the sim cards about recommended - could it damage them? how would the billing work?

    orange have been doing special promotions in various magazines, recently its been Zoo, and the latest was More magazine. Where they had a voucher exchangeable for a free Orange sim card, and when its registered, they set up free weekend texting for 6 months :) Another way to get the offer at present is to buy a phone from an orange shop that costs over 69.99 i think.

    Hi Gammo

    You could swap SIMs with no problem if your existing phone is on Orange (or is unlocked), otherwise you will need to get it unlocked to accept SIMs from any network. (This isn't a big problem - there are threads on MSE about unlocking).

    There is the slight chance that by continually swapping SIMs you might damage the contacts on the SIM, but if this happened, Orange would supply a replacement.

    You can get a twin sim holder for many phones quite cheaply which has a switch on it so that you don't have to remove SIMs, just switch between the 2.

    There would no affect to your bills doing this, each account would continue independently.
