    Well,this £0 bundle is not a promotion,it is always free. And if it does get discontinued,you can change to their payg rates,where your credit does not expire.

    Have just ordered the free SIM, sounds too good to be true.🙄
    Why do they ask for your mobile number, surely they do not transfer it to the new SIM.
    Thankfully I have a spare SIM which I have quoted.

    I was the same as you. Been over 2 months of use,and its fine,no catches,they dont e mail or text you to up your bundle. And no they do not move your number,you still need a pac code to do that.

    With the 50 and 75 minute deals what happens when you go over? Are you charged at the payg rates?

    That was my understanding, if you have added credit of course.

    Confirmed: "All services outside of bundles will be charged at our standard rate which are 5p/min for landline and mobile, 10p/SMS and 2p/MB."
    Certain OTT members have caused me to add this disclaimer: all advice given is free of charge & as such should be taken to be IIRC (as I don't spend hours researching all answers :eek: )!

    I would dual SIM with a 321 option(O2 classic or 3 data reward) and swap once I ran out of the free stuff.
