    Probably not. O2 blocks video messaging on iPhone sims and doesn't support VOIP (needs to protect its own revenue on voice calls).


    You can always get a normal 3 payandgo SIM card as 3 are gving FREE skype service, there is a link in the forum to get a free 3 SIM

    Does anyone know of another working code or have I missed the boat on this one?

    Here are some notes I found in the forums I stored away ready for when i activate my iPhone card: (sorry I can't remember who made the notes so I shamefully cannot accredit them for it)

    iPhone – potentially 12 months internet for the price of a £10 top-up.
    To top simply buy a £10 top up from the newsagents and activate it by dialling their landline number 08456 062 277, (or 4444 from any unlocked phone), then you just key in the sim card mobile number and add the credit to it with the top up voucher numbers you obtained from the local shop. You do not need to have an iphone or any phone for the credit to go on, as you will have topped up via the landline system.

    EDIT: You then get access to the internet free for 12 months and according to their T&C's this "should" be for iPhones only! Just be cautious if you hammer the service O2 have the right to terminate the service due to the abuse.

    I have my O2 dongle and iphone sim. Do I have to use a voucher to top up as per the advice above, or can I top up using the online webtopup method?

    From what I read, you can top up anyway you like. However, people avoid leaving any details (CC in particular) to O2, in case O2 decides to charge for such uses that are not in line with terms and conditions.

    Got everything working ok now. I put the sim in an ordinary unlocked phone and had about 6 messages from o2 to read and one of them included the settings. Thanks to every one who helped.
    Still waiting for my £10 refund though.
