    I do - let's hope one day you don't find yourself being made redundant with outstanding credit.

    BTW, just look at other members signatures - people are in debt, society is that way these days (and not all have the privelege of using the net and sites like this to their advantage).

    I work in an area of severe poverty where doorstep lenders are the norm with 500% apr (yes five hundred per cent). There is no wonder people struggle.

    Nobody is forcing them to take out these loans. But again, they are making the dreadful mistake of spending money that they simply dont have.

    ..... changing the subject......

    on the O2 cards as well as the £2.50 credit you can also download a free game (usually £5) a ringtone (£3.50) and a picture wallpaper (usually @2.50)

    as mentioned.. not really worth puttin on ebay unless you have a good number or have a bulk amount

    Do O2 sim cards have an expiry date at all. I have some that were sent to me over a year ago, will they be ok to sell on ebay?

    I wish I knew a shop that would buy mine! Did you have to try many shops before you found I that bought them?
  • I had an O2 sim card that I gave someone who bought a phone off me. I had never used it and when he tried to use it it wouldn't work - I think it was about a year old so seems it had expired :(

    Consider joining Reporo using the sim - use Quidco for the cashback, and the money on the sim for the GPRS to buy your CD-WOW product.

    we sell ours as cheapest at the boot fairs £4 to adults and £2 to the kids
    orange ones are pants, they run out of date very quickly
    o2 send out loads, i normally recieve 3 or 4 in every envelope
    vodaphone don't seem to sell
    t-mobile only send out rarely but have good rates
    but virgin are by far the best, normally 2 recieved each time and each comes with £5 free credit on so its a win win card at the price we sell for

    and all the expensive padded envelopes they send them in get reused to package and post out recycled books :T
    This time next year Rodney... :D
