    Is anybody on here who can access simregister, able to register on behalf of us who cant?

    To register requires lots of details, name, address, email address,(seems Yahoo is not acceptable!), sim number from the packet the sim comes in, new phone number and ID,(which can only be got by inserting the sim into the phone before registration as Orange then send a text to your phone with those details),

  • The problem is an internet network routing issue.
    Some isp's are blocking this site - I do not know why, it is not obvious.
    In particular, many Virgin Cable users will not be able to access www simregister co uk there may be other isp's that do not work either.
    I had exactly this problem and solved it by using the internet connection at work!

    So, if you cannot get through, get a friend to do it or do it on someone elses connection.

    Have just got my sister to register the phone as she accessed the site no problems. I am with virgin media hence the problem here too! Will await with bated breath now to see if I get the top up!
