    On Arg0s it says PAYG phones have to be bought with a £10 top up, but there doesn’t seem to be anything forcing you to when you order for fast track collection?

    Has anyone bought from there and walked away with the phone without a top up?

    This is a known workaround at Argos to avoid a top-up. :)
    I think....

    Good afternoon everyone

    Having trouble uploading photo but someone in front of me had bought a single size duvet set blue stripe & went through @ 25p
    So I went to have a little look. The double went through @ 90p No King size left so couldn’t check price. Still full price on the sell.

    Similar to current one on the George website b/c ending 387299

    Hope someone else finds them.

    02 have a 14 day change of mind returns policy which includes “ahem” trying out the phone and sending back if it does not meet your needs ;) #justsaying

    Still trying to figure this out
    So if I order this phone do I need to order a £10 payg sim as well?

    But the phone does need an O2 sim?

    Does the phone come with an empty sim?

    I have my sim that I use for my o2 app on my normal phone, could I use this? Or woud it confuse my normal iphone?

    I have a spare visa - could it be a debit card or a credit card?

    why are people buying the more expensive phone from argos rather than the cheap O2 phone ??!!

    thanks in advance for any clues :)

    Afternoon all - feeling rough which a shame really cost it looks nice outside yeah I know it will be cold but it's the sort of day I could up my step count. Got like funny sensation in my left ear - it's a bit like white noise. Think it must be the leftover cartaah from the headcold I have. At least the headache has subsided.

    Not a brilliant start but hopefully I will have the energy to pop to Ms for beans and soup.

    AJ don't be naughty and take it easy. Di sorry yr op has been delayed but it's sounds as though it mightsuits you better. However have to agree with Blacklist - money tight at this time of year. I had to wait until a pension was paid into my account before I could make a contribution. Glad I don't have to wait until end of the month like most others.

    Bubbs I know you have to move out every year but don't understand why. Gosh it must be a real pain just after Xmas too.

    Enjoy the rest of your Sunday folks. xx

    Just order with a Classic PAYG sim and it will go through checkout without having to pay a £10 top up.

    It does not have NFC so will not work for going out shopping to be able to play, but can be used to activate a new account to then add to an existing phone with NFC. To reiterate, if you do not already have an NFC enabled phone to use Droid Pay at the checkout, don’t buy this one as you will still not be able to play.

    You don’t need a SIM to activate Droid Pay on it, you just need a WiFi connection.

    My OH did a couple of years ago, for my Christmas present. Simply told them it was for a contract SIM and didn't want the top up.

    Sorry, what are you referring to buying from where, as whatever you are quoting is missing (for me anyway!).

    Many thanks

    She struggled to post this pic and asked if I would


    She says the gift set in the hamper was free from sdrug buying something, can’t remember what. There’s a 1p keyring from T and a 1p mini photo album too haha
