    You have to phone Orange and register the sim card. They will also give you the number for the card. The free texts will then be credited to your phone. You do not have put on any credit.


    do you still get the free texts if you register online?

    Sorry, I don't know but I don't think you can register the card on line - as it doesn't come with a mobile number.

    Anyone know if there's a sim-only offer for the 3 network? I have some old handsets, but they don't take regular sims.

    They do take regular sims, Nokias you can probably unlock with a on line calculator, or for any newer nokia's or any other brand many market stalls should be able to help. Three phones can take regular or Usims, and 3 use usims (think of it as the 3g version of a sim), that means the 3 Sim cannot be used in most phone so people think the cards are different in some way.

    What is normally the issue is they are locked to 3G mode and 3 tinker with the menu's to hide the option, so whilst they can work with regular sims they cannot log on to the 3G network as most PAYT sims are for 2G only.

    Beware some of the cheap 3 phones they superglued the sim in too..

    You can use use the big serial number of the card and they tell you the phone number over the phone.

    However I never got my 1000 texts either and the sim went in the bin afterwards...

    you have to phone them up, 'automated service ' and give them the big serial number on the sim card, then the imei number of your phone, ' which can be found under the battery or on the box which your phone was in' or try this,
    1. Press the following keys one by one: * # 0 6 #
    2. As you press on the last #, a number will appear with the title, IMEI number
    you will be told your mobile number and it will also be texted to you
    it says wait up to 14 days for free texts
    i have been waiting 3 days so far, but nothing.
