You don't need a link.
Go to eBay and put in 02 classic SIM and you'll see plenty, including the 20p one with code.

@531063 Here is the link to the store because the seller has multiple listings for the same "O2 Classic" cards.

Here are O2's terms and conditions:

O2 Classic PAYG SIMs still appear on eBay...

I just got a great deal on the O2 Classic via eBay.

Ordered one SIM for £0.20 (80p discount) and arrived three days later, but had two SIM's in the envelope. Other people were also sent an extra one according to the feedback comments. Both of my SIM's have an expiry date of April 2026, so no rush to activate them right now.

Calls: 3p min', Text: 2p, Data: 1p per MB.

Best of all, you're not forced to top-up each month, just make a chargeable call/text every six months and your credit will not expire.

Free postage too? They are basically paying you to take them, and more importantly, activate them.

Presumably the kick-back to the vendor must be less than £10 on activation, otherwise they'd be activating the things themselves. Wonder if they are returnable (or were supplied at zero cost) or if they are left with worthless SIMs once the activate-by date is passed?

If you are already on the tariff and you need a replacement sim, I assume 02 send you one knowing you`re already an original user.

If the tariff for new customers was done away with ages ago, how do they allow a new sim with a new customer now.

I needed a new sim. Im on the classic tarrif. 
The new sim was sent by post,and the classic tarrif and my credit transfered to it.

I did fb message them 1st to make sure i wasnt going to lose it.

They said i will be on it until i want to change it myself, but if i did change i would not be able to change back,as its not a tarrif they offer anymore.

So im at a loss why they still on e bay

Maybe the ones posting about eBay Sims will explain how it works when you receive the 20p 02 SIM.

The SIM comes in a typical cardboard sleeve printed by O2, advertising the classic tariff. Crucially, with the phone number there is a date by which the SIM must be activated (by adding £10 credit), such as 08-04-2026. As long as you activate by that date, O2 will put you on the classic tariff.

These SIMs are no longer available direct from O2, which is why posts above are directing you to eBay.

About the link to ebay
I say a 99p sim, O2 sim, 3p per minute talk and unused amounts just roll over. Am I correct?

Will this be a different phone/mobile number or how do i keep my current number?

Reads miles better than the Asda payg

Make the most of O2 Classic while it lasts. There is nothing to stop O2 ceasing it with 30 days notice and increasing the per minute cost.

Three had a similar SIM that was ideal for a remote alarm I had, £10 would last several years, except the 3p a call shot up to 35p per minute.
