    Give it time,it should arrive. Perhaps they busy,since i first mentioned them,bet they never had so many enquries. If not arrived by thursday, email them again
    Yes you need a cut from their free revenue!
    One further question, I see you cannot set up an account, can you tell how many free units you are using during the month.
    You can only check mins and texts by emailing them,but to check how much data you have left you text infoukrwg0 to 669 and they send text back. I imagine it just stops working when you run out

    It is GREAT for free, but it is a little rough around the edges.
    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: )!

    If you have had activation email, restart phone

    It turns out the old Nokia was the problem, SIM works fine in a newer Moto. All I've got to do now is teach my technophobe sister to use a modern phone, I'm not looking forward to this.

    Number ports are not actioned over weekends (or public holidays). A request made over the weekend will probably be actioned on the following Tuesday (exceptionally can happen on the Monday if light request load).

    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."
    I would dual SIM with a 321 option(O2 classic or 3 data reward) and swap once I ran out of the free stuff.
    Or better, dual SIM with 1p mobile then swap when you go over.
