    Will thes sims be different from the ones with 10.00 credit selling on ebay then? I thought these were unopened but if you need to register with the phone you bought it with, how can peeps sell them unopened, IYSWIM?
    Can I use a O2 Sim in this phone as well as an Orange or is it blocked to other networks?

    i believe thats some tesco phones are unlocked some aren't its hit and miss really

    but depending on the make you can get them unlocked fairly cheaply
    and tesco runs on the 02 network so you could possibly use the o2 simcard

    the £12 from CEx is for a mint orange locked mobile. is £16 for a mint unlocked one if you can manage to get it unlocked.

    I just checked CEX is paying just £4.00

    not a bad deal anyway...just thought of metioning it.

    I have just ordered the Samsung E1360 phone including the £10 credit for £13.18. I ordered it via topcashback site at 3%. Should receive the handset this Friday. Had a look on recycle mobile sites, Mopay and Fonebank both offer £5.00 cashback and Tesco offers 200 clubcard points. I plan to sell the £10 credit and SIM, and get the £5 cashback or 200 Tesco points.

    Can someone post a link to Tesco clubcard points on recyled mobiles please, for after you have used the credit to gain more points. Thanks

    EDIT, is this it 200 points recycled for it? so another £8 in deals

    If your mobile isn't displayed on their website, then you will receive 200 Clubcard points. Just pop it in a freepost envelope. 200 Clubcard points = 48 airmiles, useful if you collect these.
