Sadly not their terms and conditions state
You may not use your SIM Card:
a) in, or connected to, any other device including modems, dongles and Tablet devices ... etc.

Oh wow, you snipped off this bit:

(unless you are on a gigabag or a goodybag plan with a limited mobile internet allowance, or are on our standard rates through Airtime Credit)

So the post you replied to is correct.

I stand corrected. Giffgaff is pretty difficult to understand as the giga/goody-bags are all time limited and there is no clear explanation of what Airtime credit is. After reading your email I did a search and found a discussion about how confusing airtime credit is and ho that it actually means PAYG.

So thank you as I can now consider Giffgaff although I think Whitemobile might be the way to go.

Depends if you want to (a) trust e2save being in business for the next 24 months to pay all the cashbacks and (b) trust yourself to meet the stringent conditions for qualifying those cashbacks and (c) trust Topcashback to pay out on the cashback which I no longer do after several bad experiences in the last 12 months

E2save claim earning the cashback is simple but they must be using a completely different dictionary from me!

Its actually as complicated as possible and I'm sure their statistics show that 98% of the customers don't get most or all of the cashback promised.:eek::mad:

I think I have a completely different dictionary too. Five times over the period of the contract I download the bill from the Talkmobile (part of CPW Group) website and then upload it to the e2save website. They give me 60 days from the date of the bill to do this and even tell me which month bills (calendar months, not bill numbers) I need to send.

It's certainly a lot easier than a few years ago when I had to threaten them with court action. Even if it does go **** up, I've only had to spend £8.50 a month which is comparable to the other deals discussed on here.

Yours, the 2%.

Ordered a 3 321 sim with £10 credit on Thursday lunchtime and a nano sim arrived yesterday, no good to me so as I was fed up not being able to make calls I sacrificed the £10 and went to my local tesco for a sim, submitted pac code to tesco last night and still waiting for number to come across.

Sainsbury's have a £15 free month offer which could give people some thinking time, after that not so good, please read the small print for details.

well I ordered a sim card from 3 on Friday; as it hadn't arrived yesterday (Monday), I went to Poundland and bought one, they had standard and micro sims (no credit on them) - but for convenience worth a quid - went online to port my number having received my pac code from Ovivo, porting completed today, so all sorted for a quid!

typically, the sim arrived in the post this morning grrrrr

You did check the what was included with the sim before sacrificing it?

I was using my Ovivo SIM for data only in a 3g tablet (used mostly on WiFi). This SIM doesn't seem much more expensive for a similar usage. Any thoughts? (£20 for 6GB)

I NEED HELP!!

Is it possible to have the same PAC code with 2 different phone numbers?

Basically I have 3 Ovivo accounts, one for me and 2 for my parents.

I requested PAC's for all 3, received email confirmation for mine only. I then checked -
http://ovivomobile.com/pac.php

and found that there is a unique PAC code for mine but the same PAC code for the other 2 Ovivo accounts. Is this possible?

After 3 days of porting the number to 3 Mobile, my Ovivo account has been disconnected and connected to 3 Mobile. But the other 2 are still connected to Ovivo.

Any ideas of what to do now?
