With the O2 Online Pay and Go Card:

Introductory offers:

Free allowances as you top up:

First month - 50 free minutes ONLY (contrary to what the pack might say)
Months thereafter:

Inclusive UK Browse and Download of 1MB GPRS per month.

If you do not top up by your anniversary date, the package will RESET to the state as if it were your first month again, so if you do that, I'd just top up by £10, to get the amount you were only going to get anyway.

Top-up bonuses:

Texts UK: 10p/each
MMS UK: 25p/each
UK Browse and download: £3/MB
UK WAP via circuit-switch: 10p/min
Cust. Service: 25p/call

Other costs are in the booklet you get in your SIM pack. So far it's the best deal I've found PAYG, was with Orange and getting royally scr*wed by them.
Hope the info helps.

To get the minutes balance, call 4444, then press 2, 2, and then 2 again to see how many minutes you have. The reason your sister can call without no credit is because the pack you have registered has the talk anytime tariff pre-loaded on it (50 anytime mins). It will only work for 1 day, unless you top-up by £10, it will carry on for that month. The tariff can be easily checked, by looking at the code on the sim card holder, underneath, the mobile number of the sim card.
'24dtxtan' is the text tariff, and '24dtlkan', is the talk tariff.
