    You can sell them on ebay, sell them to independent shops, sell them at boot fairs or give them away to friends and family! :j :D

    Dobbiesloan, the op was only asking a genuine question as to what everyone else does with their free sims, there was no need to be rude about it. As a result I have reported your post to abuse.

    I got some virgin, o2 and T-mob ones kicking around.....

    was at a bit of a loss as to what to do with them, but then my normal phone broke, and this £5 free virgin credit has come in very handy!

    Hi Loopy

    I sell them at boot fairs for 2 quid a time and they sell well.

    Tell them when the register they get £ 2.50 worths of credit off 02 ( if thats the ones you are selling ) I am sure the offer is still runming.

    You can get about £60-80 on ebay if you have about 100 of them. My local market stall was after them a few weeks ago coz he cant get them because his address is registered as a bussiness address

    Do what I do, get the ones like Orange and Virgin that give you free crdit (Orange = £1, Virgin = £5), get an old mobile phone from somewhere and use it at home when making calls ..... once the credit is used up, bin the SIM and pop a new one in

    But if you take into account your ebay listing fee,then paypals cut,then final
    eby fee. You are not left with much of the 99p and if you have to relist again as they did not sell the first time! You could end up out of pocket :eek:
