    Ordered mine before Christmas with 4 days delivery and still haven't received it yet. Now website says 10 days delivery. I expect they will start sending them out from this week.

    You don't need to provide any credit card details for the free 02 sims. :) Offer is closed at the min but keep your eye on this board, as they seem to come around fairly regularly. :)

    The T-Mobile SIMs didn't need any credit card details either. Just hang on in there! ;)

    I'd guess that they're requesting the Credit Card details as a way of preventing people ordering more than one. If I were Vodafone, I would check the address details and refuse to send to those who had ordered more than one or who had input an invalid credit card number. They can do this as their terms and conditions would have been breached.

    I ordered mine xmas eve too, but not recieved anything. and its only just 4 working days today when you count the weekends and bank holidays we've just had.
    i put a dummy number in  :-X i dont own and do not wish to own a credit card.
    i think its discrimination against people who dont want / cant get / dont have credit cards. they should just be able to check they are only sending one out per address. with everything computers can do now days surely that wouldnt be beyond vodafones capabilities  ::)

    You are right JenJen - but, unfortunately, it is those who order large numbers of the same freebie that you have to thank for that.  It is possible to check for the same address but people have got round this by entering extra spaces in the address or letters to their house number, thus making it more difficult and time consuming to check details.  

    If you don't get one in the post soon, maybe you could call Vodafone and explain that you don't have a credit card. You never know, they may send you one!
