Rechecked. Looks like I need to be outside to get 4G.
It's a bit cold to try it now. _pale_
I'll go stand by a window. Nope no 4G.
I went outside and walked up and down the road. No 4G.
Get 4G at SC0 -
Wouldn't it be better if you just wait until the sim arrives, and follow what is being discussed once you actually have the sim?
I haven't topped up yet because on the screen it states
'Your £10 Everything Pack will start as soon as you call, text or browse'
But my phone used 26KB off the new SIM before I could turn off data, so doesn't that mean that if I pay £5 it will not buy a £5 top-up until this (now activated?) £10 Everything Pack has been paid for?0 -

You don't, I put the sim into an old Nokia 6100 2G phone to get the code to register.
Perhaps you should have switched off mobile data or been connected to wifi if you didn't want to use mobile data, they do give an introductory 50MB allowamce to all SIM cards, so the usage shouldn't really matter.Kernel_Sanders wrote: », so doesn't that mean that if I pay £5 it will not buy a £5 top-up until this (now activated?) £10 Everything Pack has been paid for?

IDK this because I've never tried to access mobile settings without a SIM in the phonethey do give an introductory 50MB allowamce to all SIM cards, so the usage shouldn't really matter.)
I won't jeopardize things by using that up before I top up, will I?0 -

Just remember, if you don't want the £10 preloaded pack, DONT top up £10, only top up £5 initially and load a £1 pack instead. You can then either text 'STOP PACK' to 150 or use the MyEE application to cancel any future packs.====0 -

Before topping up I'm going to use the 50MB by tethering, just to check the SIM doesn't get 'almost immediately blacklisted' as reported by Dream9 in #52.0
