    I think once you have received the sim you have to register it within 6 months or it becomes invalid. I am not 100% sure though so if other members could confirm if that is the case please.

    I don't think there is a time limit on registering after receiving the SIM cards. The T+C state that you have to register the phone within so long after first topping it up, in order to get the extra £2.50 credit.

    (Although I can't remember the exact time limit myself!) :o

    I apply for more than 6 and then sell them on ebay normally get around 30 sims per offer and get around £60 for them on ebay. Its a nice second income which can then go towards paying my partners credit card.
  • when i have ordered 6 to my house...can i order another 6 to the same address but in a different name??
    Its better to close your mouth and appear stupid, than to open it and remove all doubt...:p

    Well done, I've built up a collection of various sim cards over the last year, hoping my sister will be able to sell them at £1 each at a car boot sale this weekend.

    This is probably a really dumb question but do u need to be on 02 to get/use these? I am on T-mobile and locked as far as i know - actually, how would I know?

    To be honest I really diagree with people getting loads of these sim cards and selling them. It's abusing the system, meaning that the offer ends within a couple of says and hundreds of people who want a sim card lose out. I think it's greedy. Fair enough, get 6 for some friends or family who want em (I've got loads of my friends onto the offer,) but selling them is just really unfair. For the sake of £1 a sim card as well!

    I know some of you will just think I'm being a bit over the top, but I I hate it when people abuse free offers. Get what you need, and leave the rest for someone who needs it
