    Can't find Carohone warehouse or lenses mobile on tcb? Am I doing something wrong?


    Using the correct spelling might help, Carphone, Lebara.

    Carphone warehouse on TCB, although it looks like the offer has ended.

    Thinking of put it away until next next holiday - anyone know if there is a date that this sim has be activated by? On O2''s freesim, there is usually a sticker saying that this sim "has to be activiated by xxxx.".

  • I thought the sim was already activated? I put the sim in my phone and it said I had £10 credit.

    Thanks, twinkle06_123. My understanding is that sim cards come in as "ready to use". They are activated when connecting to the network for the first time. After that, the "must make a chargeable call in xx days" clock starts to tick.

    I think you must make a chargeable call in 83 days to avoid disconnection.
