which network allows you to receive txts as soon as you buy the paygo card, without adding any credit ?

wondering if ppl had any ideas about this

so far i know that t-mobile does

and that lebara mobile does not

They all do.

You have to activate the sim first of course.

I think you're confused mate.

i'm not sir

because from what i believe certain ones require you to top up first

however, with t mobile, i noticed, you can insert the card and immediately receive texts, even with 0 credit

I have an active Tesco sim for more than two years and have never topped it up.

Each have their own policies - orange (for example) don't even provision their SIMs with a valid number - this is done when the credit is applied. What you seek is largely discouraged as this was the source for a good many spam SMS setups (not to send, but for receipt of responses).

Since there was no link to any top up, tracing who were using them/abusing them was virtually impossible.

I don't see your link though, adding top up credit via a cash purchase of vouchers would also do what you claim.

From past experience I can think of T-Mobile, Virgin, 3UK, White Mobile all activating and receiving calls/texts without top up.
