Sainsbury's PAYG - any way to top up with less than £10?

grumbler

I ordered and received a sim for few roaming calls in Canada. I am sure £5 will suffice with their 34p/min and by the second charge, but as I see at http://www.phoneshopbysainsburys.co.uk/faqs/view/id/34 the minimum amount is £10.

I am sure I was able to buy £5 voucher for EE in a supermarket. Does the minimum amount depend on the network?

Convenience stores with the green top-up sign sell £5 vouchers for mobiles, including Sainsburys.

So, I take it that the information on the website is incorrect:

You can buy top-up vouchers from Sainsbury’s or other outlets displaying the green top-up logo: the values available are £10, £15, £20, £25, £30 and £50.

Well it doesn't explicitly state that vouchers less than £10 are not available. Perhaps they prefer not to reveal that a £5 top-up is possible...

I can confirm this, just topped £5 using voucher from Costcutter

I don't know what they mean by "other outlets", but by "can" they seem to mean "can be lucky".

I've been to several places today showing "green top-up logo", including a Post Office and Wilkinson store. None was selling vouchers for Sainsbury's Mobile. I am not sure about the logo at Tesco, but they don't sell them either.

Eventually I bought it in Sainsbury's, and, surprise-surprise, £5 vouchers were available.
