I bought a virgin sim several years ago, topped up with £10 once, waited 6 months, made a phone call and then upgraded without a problem. I did the same recently and this did not work because after only one top up I was still on the starter tariff. what you now seem to need to do is to top up twice with £10 over two successive months to get onto the big talk or big data tariff before you become eligible to upgrade a few months later

How do you know if your eligible? As in went onto checkout and it did not ask for anything.

it's the final part of checkout. When you continue to payment it'll ask for your mobile number. You then have to input it, get a code which is sent to the mobile number and then you can proceed.

Compares pretty well to the Y330 - not as good on the screen, but has KitKat vs Jellybean and has a front camera vs none ... rear camera is 5MP vs 3MP

What exactly do you need to do to be eligible for an upgrade? Got a vodafone sim that it's saying isn't eligible

I've got this and it just about does the job.... i know its 99p but you'd better off using any upgradeable number for something a little nicer!
a very cheap option for whatsapp however
