    so how does this work?

    u get £10 airtime voucher, or does the credit automatically registers to the orange sim that came with the phone?

    will this sim and credit work with any unlocked phone?

    cheers,
    The £10 credit is added to the simcard when you buy it. They add the £10 topup to your bill at the checkout and scan the simpack to apply the credit. They can do this as the sim is "pre-activated", which means you just need to put it into any Orange / unlocked phone and away you go.

    Have you rang the branch to make sure they have some in stock?

    If they only have a handful left may be worth asking them to reserve one for you.

    Oh well forget that. Some staff at Carphone warehouse are annoying at times.

    They only have one in store, reserved of course and said "if it doesn't sell come in on Tuesday and we can sell you then" or we have some at stores about 12 miles away :(

    I don't drive and asked if they could either transfer one for me from another store or send to my home, neither of which they they can do (I know they can but this store can't be arsed). TBH i've found this all the time with carphone warehouse, my local NEVER has any offers in store and find the staff rude and unresponsive.

    I even asked if they was getting anymore in and the response was "well we arn't sure, we may have some next week, who knows ?"

    So i'll give this one a miss :( Shame as i was up for it but no good if i can't get the offer when you want it.

    Do you have to activate the sim within a certain period? Does the credit stay indefinitely or do you have to use it up by a certain time. If its indefinitely does it have to be used every so often?
