Best free New prepay Sim?

Options
I want to get an account with Ovivo I have an unlocked mobile. At the moment I have a contract which I cant get out of, but wanted another sim card with Ovivo, which is the best please?


Is it possible to get 2 micro sims into one old size sim and choose which sim card you use on the same phone?

    Go to the Ovivo site and choose which one you want ...if you only want the free one you only have the choice of one anyway.... unless you choose a data only for a tablet

    No you can't use two micro sims in one slot
    It's not just about the money

    There are dual sim adapters, but 'choosing' one out of two can be not very simple (depending on the phone and the adapter).

    Just get a sim from Ovivo with a new number without any transferring?

    I think all networks do this, including O2.

    If you transfer an old number you get extra credit.

    02 tell me I have to buy one min £10 credit on there.

    I just want a free sim with a number I can transfer to ovivo. any network will do.

    If the number you want to transfer is the one on your contract then if you swap it your contract will terminate and you'll have to pay the penalty
    If you want another sim, then you'll get another number. You will either have to put it into different phone or buy a phone that's designed to take two sims. You cannot have the same number on two sims.
    Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers

    If what you are trying to do is get a free sim to use the number to pretend you are doing a number transfer the problem will be it has to be active and have some credit on it to enable the pac code to work.

    There are some sims from time to time that do have credit on perhaps have a look at the freebies board

    I don't think that credit is a necessity, but for a new sim many networks may insist in a top up before issuing a PAC.

    However, IIRC there were some networks that were less strict about this: Moving my number from T-Mobile to T-Mobile!
