    I'm a bit confused with the "24GB Data Starter Pack" Does it include calls and texts as well as data as the terms and conditions state the following 

    "our allowance starts on activation (if you're buying a SIM for the first time) or upon purchase (if you've already activated, are buying a new Data Starter Pack and don't have an active Data Add-on)."

    "If you've used up the data allowance in your Pack, you can buy a Data Add-on to tide you over. Otherwise, if your Pack ends, you'll need to top-up and pay for your usage at our standard UK rates (35p/min; 15p/text; 10p/MB)."

    Not reading anything there that suggests that the Pack includes calls/texts. 

    Are you asking if the SIM comes with a phone number and could you add cash credit (or another package) to allow calls/texts?

    Probably.

    Have you checked out Scancom for Three pre-loaded non contract SIMs? I am on my 4th from them.
    As implied in my reply here , yes!

    When I last sent a text back in May on my MBB SIM, it was charged at 15p but I didn't have an active Pack! The Ad/Link to Data Packs etc hasn't changed since, so IMHO it is misleading as it's the same Ad/Link as on Standard PAYG. There'd been No Inclusive minutes or Texts on the MBB SIM since the demise of the Data Reward UNLESS it's changed in the last few days with the new Data Packs and also the Updated App, the latter now showing Usage again after moaning on Feedback!
