    A minimum monthly top-up is required to obtain your free monthly allowance.
    I think its £10 minimum...
  • it is £10 minimum , and to be able to receive calls you need to activate the sim by topping up.

    Thanks. So even to receive an sms it requires to be topped up?
  • yea , its the top up that activates the sim card on the o2 system , not actually registering your details.
