    Excuse my lack of understanding here, but what is the point of these free SIMs?

    Do you get a new phone number with each SIM card?
    And the T&C state that you must top up £10 every month which is a bit restrictive.

    The T&C state that it is Subject to a minimum £10 monthly top-up which gives you up to 300 UK text messages or up to 100 UK media messages; or a combination of both to any UK network. The inclusive text and media messages are part of the same allowance. 1 media message is equivalent to 3 text messages.

    You don't have to top up every month, but you will need to if you wish to receive your free txt messages every month. However you can still receive incoming calls & txt messages regardless of whether you have any credit on the phone or not.

    Yes you do get a new phone number with each new sim. I have found that these sims seem to appeal to teenagers who do a lot of texting and like the idea of 300 free ones each month.
    Obviously you also get some who will apply for the free ones to sell on

    HTH :)

  • It does state 28 days and the last one was 11/04 - so there is still until 10/05 I think for them to come...

    I also got mine from the last offer where you had to guess a phone number at the end of last week- fri/sat.

    Oh and there is a cheat for that top-up thing, but no guarantees! (They sell this information on ebay for 99p so..)
    his is a cheat which will only work on o2 genie sims (the ones where you top up £10 and get 300 txts free)

    Firstly you must have a o2 sim card installed into your mobile
    phone.(must be the 300 text per month sim!)

    2 Please note that there are different o2 sim cards,the 300 a month
    means you have to put 10 in every month to recieve your 300 texts.

    3 Once you have topped your sim card up with some credit you will find you have the following;

    10 worth of talktime,
    300 wap minutes,
    300 texts.

    4 Take notice of what date it is on your mobile phone when you top up.

    5 Use your phone as normal for that month or until you run out of texts.

    6 Once you have run out of texts,reset the date on your mobile phone to
    the date when you first topped up and DONT USE YOUR PHONE THAT DAY!! (meaning dont make a connection with anyone with your mobile but leave turned on!!)

    7 The next day you can change your date settings back to normal.

    8 Now all you have to do is wait for the new month and you will recieve
    a message from o2 saying"THANKYOU FOR TOPPING UP,YOU NOW HAVE YOUR FREE 300 TEXT MESSAGES"

    9 IMPORTANT!! matter where abouts in that month you run out of
    texts. You only(ONLY!)get a max of 300 texts per month so make sure you dont run out halfway through the month as you will have to wait till the start of the new month to get your free 300 texts.

    if you try it tell me if it works because ive never tried it
