This is probably a really stupid question but do you have to keep topping up the android phones each month with further credit?
I have an old iphone that can be used with no credit for Internet uses etc, is android like this?

All phones should be like this, no need to top up. You might need a sim in the phone though to download apps from google play store (not sure about this - or whether you can just download with a gmail account)

One of my phones has a very old sim (> 6 months) with no credit - I download apps via gmail account as you mention.

Words to the wise: Be very careful if using your normal phone.

1. Reduce the brightness down to almost nothing so you are reducing the amount of power its taking. The actual electricity is negligible but no point using more than you need.

2. TURN OFF MOBILE DATA!!! I was at home running the apps using my normal iphone once and I did not realise my wifi signal dropped out , the phone continued to constantly stream the videos on 4G - thus walloping my monthly allowance - luckily I noticed this before it was too late but I've read anecdotal evidence from the US where they had a phone data bill massively higher than any swagbucks they earnt.

For those of you who _have_ received a postcard, did you notice anything wrong with the formatting of the address? Because in my settings, although I have selected UK, they only mention "ENG". So I wonder if the folks at the US postal service have any clue that ENG means England.

I remember my card took about 6 weeks to come. I raised a ticket with them one morning to say it had still not arrived and was fed up of waiting (Paypal gift card) and wouldn't you know it, it popped through the letter box the same afternoon!

Well all I can see that I have received an e-mail from SB to verify my account. Second e-mail is to redeem my prize and I have verified by clicking on the e-mail. I don't remember whether I have tried mobile and it somehow worked but I doubt it. Sorry can't be more help.

Thanks, and sorry for being pedantic. Did you use the same pin number to validate your account? Because now they've reset my verification. If in the meantime I should receive the "old" postcard, would it work?
