    Just had mine delivered, looks fine, really happy.

    Made a bit of an error of judgement - forgot to order sim card (oops.)

    Please does anyone know if I can use any sim card from retailer and will this work with the TV function?

    Without a sim card it doesn't seem to let me watch TV but I can listen to the radio - is this right? It just asks me to update my subscription to checkout this channel.

    HELP!

    You need a Virgin mobile sim to allow the phone to download the electronic-license file to allow you to watch the TV. For 3 months it's free (BBC1 longer) and after that it is only free if you have a Virgin contract SIM else you pay £5 a month on pay-as-you-go.
