Free Sims to charities.

paul.carter

Don't want to dampen things but read a thread recently where someone sold some sims on ebay and was later contacted by police about obscene calls made on sims 'registered' to them. Poster had kept records and proved it was nothing to do with them so was ok. Don't know the ins and outs of this but guess it could be a problem, you would have to be unlucky though as this must be very rare.

Hope that someone can disprove this possibility but has made me wary of passing on free sims that I have collected.

I doubt the mobile phone companies track/keep records of the numbers they send to each person who signs up for free sims? If they do, and the sim is used for 'dodgey purposes' then I doubt the police or mobile network could blame you as the promotional material always says "pass them on to your friends"! I can't be blamed for what friends do or people I sell them to?
