    I applied for one and they asked for my passport number or driving license number, why would they want this if its pre loaded?

    Q:
    How do I activate my Prepaid Card?

    A:
    Simply go to the Activate section on the website and activate your card. Alternatively you can call the Customer Services team on on the number listed on the contact us page. Other operator's charges may apply) or text ACTIVATE followed by a space and your 16 digit card number followed by another space and your date of birth (ddmmyyyy) to the sms number provided on the contact us page.

    does anyone have any personal experience of these cards?
  • Personally speaking.. I would recommend the Fair FX card. Its another pre paid card but you get £7.50 and its free to activate (or it was when i did it back in December) HTH

    I too have used Fair FX and found it great It only used to be available for travel money $ and € which I find great for paying for my Big Fish Games in $ saving me £1 Bank transaction fee every time I buy a game and also being ripped off by my bank giving me a lousy exchange rate. I would definitely recommend them as I have had no problems using my card abroad and on line, and can only assume that their £ card is just as reliable
  • Or if you are on o2 get a o2 prepaid card and you dont pay any fees at all! or just get a prepay sim and apply for one if you are not an o2 cust!
