    I was wondering about selling the Sim cards, as they come to your name when you request them for free, so if your sold SIM (that have your details with Mobile provider) is found on a robery scene for example, Police may go to your House to enquire and you most have proof that you sold it to avoid any problems. Am I right? I think I saw a comment on another thread here before....

    when you order sims though they are for friends and family (as can order up to 4) cannot see how they can say assign to one person when O2 give them expecting you to give them to others. People would not keep record of what number they have gave someone

    I couldn't give them away at the last car boot I took them too, I had a mixture of orange, o2, tmobile and struggled with them all.

    Go around your local corner shops that sell them for (£3.50-£3.95 around here).

    They buy off a company at £1.50 each.
    One shopkeeper showed my his invoice,so i sold them to him for a 75p each even t-mobile and o2 ones.

    one guy gave me 20 fags for eight o2s, better than nothing

    sold the virgin ones no probs as texts cost 3p a time:D

    The vodafone ones have £1 credit so use them to text to get some more free Sims;)

    HTH
