Effectively 3 months free mobile network

Doc_N

Received yesterday (4 May) - activated yesterday - yet bundle expires 30 April.


So they're pre-activated, which means of course that any 'spares' intended to be activated by 29 June will have expired well before then - at the end of this month, in fact.

Well lets just wait and see what happens, after all everything we have received has been free and its given us a chance to see what Sainsbury's mobile service is like

I received my 3 (ordered via HUKD); I'd assumed that they would be activated on use so that I could use them sequentially for 3 months, but if they're pre-activated and all expire at the same time even if I don't use them then it's just a bit of a waste.

Actually, not all the free SIMs are coming pre-activated and even my pre-activated one appeared to be later re-activated giving me the full 30 days.

Come 29th June when I open my last SIM (and any pre-activation will have expired) so I shall just follow the rules and activate by making a call and expect to get my free bundle within 7 days as per the t&c's:

Only got 1 of the 3 Sim's I ordered but the one i did receive is all up and running and runs out on the 3rd of may

I didn't have to ring to activate and talk to anybody it was already done just rang 40775 and was told the pack was enabled and how many mins, text, and internet well it said i had internet not how much

Just a bit disappointed i have not received the other 2 Sims.:(

Why not order a few more (just vary the name / address slightly).

Yeah didn't think of that mainly because it said if you want more you have to order separate so i just ordered them in my name and address
In hind side now i wish i had have used different addresses.

You're not 'pre-activated', therefore activation is as per the t&c's:

Terms and Conditions

• Free £15 bundle (800 minutes, unlimited texts & 2GB of data) will be automatically added to your account within 7 days of SIM activation.

I inserted the SIM this morning and made a short call, since when zilch.

I called CS who told me the system would update the bundle in at least 7 days. What? Well, it should be within 24 hours to be honest, quoth she. We'll see.

All up and running now, expires 5 May.

The '7 days' is clearly a nonsense and is presumably intended to cut down on those 'no coverage' queries, like mail order companies saying to allow 28 days for delivery when deliveries typically turn up with 2-3 days.
