3Pay PAYG Sim

Hi,

Does anyone have a 3 PAYG sim card that you no longer need?

It needs to be on the '3PAY' tarriff. These were the ones activated before November 2010.

If anyone can help then it would be great.

Thanks,

Matt

  • Activate a 3pay sim now ,then it will go to 3s new pay and go tarriff,then ring 3 and tell them it says free to free calls on the packet ,With a little persuation from your end (be nice) they will change it back to the 3pay tariff.

    P.s. ensure it is a 3 pay sim to start with ,then they are just changing it back to as it was.
