    With splash plastic, does the charge of the £5 to open the account class an activated card or do you have to add money to it for it to become active?

    Because the £10 is for an activated card (within 45 days of application).

    Cheers

    "Activation" is just a simple, automated phone call once you receive the card. No extra money needed ;)

    I always have 2 phones with me, one is my normal one with my number i have had for years, the other is an old Nokia 6210 which i use all my free talk time on!

    Ditto 2 phones one for my incoming calls and an old 3310 which holds 1 sim in the phone and 4 spare sims on top of the battery, not bought any credit in donkeys.

    Anybody know whether or not you can put money on the card using free sims? Or would it be illegal? :confused:

    No you can't put money onto a Splash Card using text messaging, it only allows you to pay the inital card fee via text (£5 reverse premium SMS). I'm not sure about the legality, but it would be very useful if it DID allow you to load up the card using mobile phone credit. I'm sure there must be some reason why they don't allow this. :confused:

    Ian :cool:

    It'll be because out of the £5 you pay they see only a percentage of it. Whilst they may be happy to take the hit to get your custom initially it wouldn't make sense to give you £5 for every £4 (eg) they get on an ongoing basis.

    BTW - Does "BetNow" allow you to keep using PAYG credit to place bets (instead of registering a card)?
