    me toooo !!
  • I got a few too. I have been searching to see where the info on what to do with the sim cards so that you can use the £5. I thnik it was someone called rizla? who explained it really well, but I can't find the post.
    I have a v220 Motorola - I tried it in that but it said something about typing a number in so I took it out. Do I need to get a phone from Virgin phones before I can use the sim cards? Sorry to sound really stupid.
    All credit cards paid off.

    14 cards x £5 credit each = £70. where do you get £120 from? as that equates to 24 cards , or £8.57 per card for 14 cards.

    Plus if you were to sign up those sim cards through quidco to Jamster, dadamobile, and some others - you get over £10 per sim card in cash (just don't ever register or put any more credit on this sims ;))
