because you still have the £10

lol no you couldnt

200GB.

how can it be free uf you've gotta top up by 10 pounds

yeah I had the same

how can it be free uf you've gotta top up by 10 pounds

because you still have the £10

How do u get the sim?

Is the 200 call minutes or Internet usage? :-p

Yep, how do you get the sim, would like a deal like this for my tablet....

Argh I voted cold. Curse these chubby thumbs. Great deals sorry about down voting it

200GB.

Great deal though shame EE could offer decent data to retain me on contract their tightness with data cost them as i did not renew.

Will this work on the summer sim which had the 200gb offer,as I've already used that.or would I need a new sim?

100GB pfffft... I could get through that in a couple of days torrenting with my £15/mth three all-you-can-eat sim.

I think I'll get the Christmas one too .thanks.

This is a great deal if you can get a signal. I bought last time and it was a waste of a tenner unfortunately.

lol no you couldnt

It says order by 29th December 2015, not 11 November. See link : http://shop.ee.co.uk/campaigns/christmas-sim-from-ee?wt.mc_id=ON_MEC_D_N6580.136252.FACEBOOKUK&WT.tsrc=Facebook_Paid

...but you could go blind trying.:confused:

I get 'Sorry due to a technical issue we are unable to add this promotion to your account' - anyone else?

It has been always useless for PSN accounts:(

Oh what?

They wont hoy us off it surely?

3g or 4g?

I got mine a week ago - This deal has already been posted.. But I suppose its good to remind ppl.

So how does this one work and how is it different to the one posted before? Genuine question because I'm quite confused.

I tried the previous deal. Spent 2 days trying to top up. Could not do it, gave up in the end.

Is it just me or is anyone else getting errors when trying to signup? Ive tried multiple devices, several times and it wont let me

Yep

only for selected EE customers. peak times

And registered your number?

really quick data speed. brilliant coverage.

I got the summer one and just got the text to put £10 credit on the sim before the 11Nov for the 100GB, looks like I will have to move the sim from the ipad back into my network free phone again to send the text and then move it back to the ipad.

great another 100GB
thanks

do you get this sim using the same link as in the Christmas offer?

I went through 50gb streaming on prime and Netflix for a few days so he could quite easily

So why are we paying £40 a month for 3GB internet when we can get a free 200GB for a £10 top-up

I got the same message. I was also able to get the Christmas 100 on my summer sim. I wonder if I tried this if they would stack to 200GB?

Anyone know or tried it yet?

Can I top up but decide to start using the data in January?

they should stay with unlimited internet. then i would leave Three for EE

anyone know if this can be used abroad? the 200gb for data roaming?

Not true, they still do a range of plans with all-you-can-eat data...

And yes, officially on my plan I can only tether 4GB/m, bu there are ways to hide your tethering activity.

I challange you to get your three 4g sim to work in this device
Huawei Unlocked B315 4G/ LTE 150 Mbps Mobile Wi-Fi Router - White https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013P15G4K/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_Z5fnwb2VK3J9X
and have unlimited 4g wi-fi around the house.

can you tether to other devices around your home?

sorted...Just what I needed until my fixed internet gets installed.

Of course that won't work as there's no way to hide your tethering usage with it. You can however wi-fi hotspot it in a phone and use a vpn like cyberghost to hide tethering. I get about 800GB a month doing this.

Seems good to me but can I use any old EE dim I have around?

Get an AYCE Three data sim. Assuming the country is covered. Will cost you £18 or so.but you'd also get 200 mins thrown in. Work out how much using the EE 200gb of data abroad... £400 to be exact at £25 a pop of 500mb. All included in three contracts.

Another 200 GB! Data100 Worked for me on my summer sim.

Got the summer deal and now used this on the same sim. Just topped up £10 and then sent the text. Cracking deal. Cheers

I struggled to get an account and payment set up online with the summer sim promotion. Got around it (and done the same with the Christmas sim) by simply topping up the card in a shop. Popped the sim in my phone, sent the text and shifted the sim to my mifi device to share the data. Works very well indeed, long may these promotions continue - thanks EE!

yup

if it does not get used, will it be carried forward to the next month?

Can this be stacked on top of the Christmas offer of 100GB ?

Can't top up online.....

My summer SIM is in a mifi, can I check the txt messages on it online somehow ? The SIM doesn't fit any of the phones we have.

You'll get nothing from that: 192.168.1.1 might! Or 192.168.1.254 a long shot.

worked first time with my normal payg sim cheers :smiley:

Thanks for sending it in, I received it on the Summer100 SIM yesterday, but I wouldn't have checked otherwise.
Maybe I shouldn't have bought a mifi plan this year :S

Can only be used in the UK on the EE network. You need to purchase one of EE's international packs if you want to data roam.

Can I top up but decide to start using the data in January?

It's not free if you gotta use £10 :disappointed:

You'll get nothing from that: 192.168.1.1 might! Or 192.168.1.254 a long shot.

So get the Christmas sim use that. Then top up 10 and do this so the stack for 4 months?

Can anyone recommend a good deal on a data sim. 30day rolling or payg. 4g not important, I'm happy with good old 3G.

Just to add to my last comment, can the above sim be used as a data sim?

I just tried the DATA100 and the CHRISTMAS100 on my summer sim and got a reply saying that the offer isnt available to me.

Does anybody know if you can use it for tethering ?

just topped up and sent text and it didnt recognise it. you need a new sim apparently

Website down so can't order sim ?

jeez the Christmas sim deal is still up. To much confusion it seems. just go for that one.

Could you expand a bit on the VPN part please? Is that setup on the tethered phone so all your data goes through it?

I'm just double checking this - if I activate this sim in an unlocked phone and then put it in an ee mifi device - it'll work just fine or will they block it not being in a phone?

I know this may sound like a silly question, but I need to know :stuck_out_tongue:
Is the data allowance over the 3G network only or does it include 4G too.

Thank in advance :smiley:

Shop now back online. Just ordered a Christmas Sim. Cheers OP.

For those struggling to find the Christmas Sim deal, use this link:

http://shop.ee.co.uk/campaigns/christmas-sim-from-ee?WT.mc_id=ON_MEC_A_AffWin_VigLink+Inc&WT.tsrc=Affiliate

That's correct. With a vpn app on your phone all data is encrypted so the tethering is hidden. There are lots of free vpns. Occasionally a good deal for cyberghost comes up, like £5 for a year. Well worth it & highly recommended.

4g too :smiley:

Yes they do but they give you an allowance my son as unlimited data and 8gb teething also i have unlimited data and 4gb teething he as a contract i have sim only with three.
Also if you still have the one plane you get unlimited data and teething not everybody as been kicked of the one plane yet but they will soon.

Sounds dangerous!

​they not gonna get kicked off but three might increase the monthly fee for them
I personally don't overuse it for that reason.

I had the Radio 1 offer sim with 200 GB over two months. Only used about 8 GB of it but it allowed me to test it in different places. I have sent for these offers twice since but so far have been unlucky in EE's allocation. Hoping I get one this time around.

​not true.
I'm still tethering with three.
although I'm a long time customer.

If you have an iPhone locked to EE on Pay Monthly, can you use this PAYG sim card in it for the extra data and then put your Pay Monthly sim back in etc etc?

Thanks

Do you have a problem to topup or login with a new sim right now?

Yes they do kick you off of the one plane and you can go to a different isp or stay and three will put you on a different plane.

Excellent, thanks for the tip :wink:

Would this sim deal be compatible with my I pad air 2 cell?

Surely both offers relate to 100GB per month for TWO MONTHS; a total of 200GB. Am I wrong?

mega deal. hot

Thank You. :wink:

4g

Wow that's great! Thanks for your reply, I only have 8gb per month so with Xmas coming up and all the travelling I have to do I won't be getting bored now. Great deal heat added!

​when will that happen?

How do you top up just £1? As I would like to do what you've done :wink:

Hot deal but it is wrong to say "Free...topup required". Just say 200GB with 10 topup, you will still get same heat.

How do you add it to a PSN account?

Didn't work when i topped up daughter's sim. Got text reply saying it was only for selected customers.

Thanks just got the 200gb on old sim.

​what do u do constantly download stuff from. youtube or something those torrent sites its pretty impossible to use 100gb in a few days like a guy on here claims there servers are very slow

​i don't think they can kick u off but they try to offer u different deals they tried a few times with th my friend saying we got a better deal for u but they we're lieing to him so he refused

​yes but this seems better as u still keep the 10 Quid credit on the other u need to get a data bundle for 10 pounds since think they done this offer as people complained they we're saying Its free data when u actually had to use the 10pounds up on the Xmas Sims

any idea if a T-Mobile SIM allows this or do i need a new simcard

It's already happening Three are doing it a bit at a time so by next year everybody that's is on the one plane will be kicked off there will be no more unlimited teething.

when i say kicked of i don't mean off the network i mean just of the one plane like you said they give you a choice to go on another plane or leave to go to a different network.
Some people have still got the one plane but by next year it will be gone they are doing it slowly.

I currently have £9.88 and £8.88 on 2 old summer sims both of which received the message for another 2 months data! Is there a way to top £1.22 on one and £0.22 on the other to make it £10.00 to get me the data ? If so how ? Much appreciated.

You can add funds to your wallet by using Mobile SMS. Look in your PSN wallet. You can top up in multiples of £5. It sends an SMS to your mobile, when you confirm then it taken the money from your SIM and tops up the PSN.

There is a way of topping-up and getting this offer, without losing your £10. Do a quick goggle search.

BT soon oh dear bye bye

Can i just check the following please:

So you order the xmas sim, put it in your phone, top up £10, then send a text to get the extra 200GB of data.

How do you get any calls or text allowance? Or is this where you'd spend the £10 top up on a calling/text plan? If you didn't buy a plan would any calls/texts come out of the £10 credit?

Thanks

After a week of great speeds on my Christmas EE SIM my speeds are being throttled to 6Mb down 4Mb up, don't think I could use 200GB if I tried ..

So does this work even if you didn't receive the text?

http://shop.ee.co.uk/campaigns/christmas-sim-from-ee?WT.mc_id=ON_MEC_A_AffWin_VigLink+Inc&WT.tsrc=Affiliate
If you look at the bottom of the page they do boosters so they do muck about with your speeds or why would they do booster packs.

I presume you are having a laugh?, hope so!
ps
your links are 'nil points'!

I've already ordered the christmas sim (which didn't apply the 100gb anyway..), but wondering if I topup £10 I'd get this 100gb credit as well?

Ordered the Christmas sim. Topped up with £10 on to the phone top card that came in the pack. Txt Christmas100 to 150 and hey presto you get 100th data each month (200) in total. Popped the simple into my new Tp link mifi and bobs your uncle.

Well well well... Thanks, I might just have to check my other SIMs!

I currently have:
1x Dan and Phil Limited Edition SIM - may have expired?
1x SUMMER Promotion 100GB SIM - used
1x CHRISTMAS 100GB SIM Promotion - new, needs topping up this week
1x Christmas 100GB Promotion SIM - in use

Imagine all the free 4G data I'll have access to if any of these other SIMs will work?

Slightly noob question here: can this be made to work on a mifi (not a phone) and what mifi would you quickly recommend?

Genuinely I need to get this for a relative who is looking at 2m in hospital ASAP. They have non cell ipad.

I don't beleive you can have both offers running on the same sim if one offer is still active and running. They won't stack.

The best option is to top up a new Christmas sim instead.

he could blu ray rips are 20GB+ but depends how fast the 4g is in his area

My Summer SpSIM finally expired

sorry.summer sim ended today. used data100 and it worked. thanks.

Is it the offer for the summer sim over ? Wanted to transfer over money onto the summer sim to activate the offer , got £9 already on it.@davening

Also did you ctually receive a text with the invitation to top up again?
I ask as I haven't been notified of the further data offer and don't want to topup only to discover it doesn't work for me
Thanks

picked mine up from my local EE shop and they activated it too.

Thanks

I wasn't offered this on my existing EE SIM. I even asked their customer services if they can offer it on my existing SIM otherwise I'll PAC out, but even then I wasn't offered it.

just tried to text the code with the summer sim but received a reply saying im not eligible...has anyone else had any luck

Yes it worked on my summer sim.
The free data bundle on the summer sim expired over a week ago. Read this thread so switched on the dumb phone and received the text to inform I qualify.
Tried sending DATA100 without topping up to see what response I get - got reply saying my sim not eligible. Went a head with £10top up anyway, then texted DATA100 and immediately received text to confirm 100GB bundle added, valid for 2 months but it starts immediately, cannot bank it for later use.
People sending the DATA100 text without topping up to test eligibility will not get a valid response.
If you got the text, then topup £10, send the text, you will get it.

The clue to getting DATA100 to work is in the opening post...

"....top up £10 by Nov 11" :smiley:

Thanks, will give it a go tomorrow hopefully..

Where is this stated, what is the source of your information for that?

My father is on the one plan, his contract ends November though

Thanks for the reply but I'm still to be advised as to where this is stated.

I had the same message so I topped up by £10, but as I can't sent ee a text from my iPad, I put the sim in my phone and send it that way. Unfortunately there seems to be a technical problem and they are unable to add the deal to my sim :disappointed: I now have to phone them to try and get the deal added

My sim is one of the Sam and Mark ones from earlier in the year, which had a 200GB deal on it (I think)

It's £17 now for the 200 mins AYCE data, though for some reason they're charging me £15 even though I just signed up. I have been a customer for a few years on other tarriffs though.

Ah ! Have to look into that

I went to buy a wifi hotspot from currys yesterday to go with this deal and instead of paying £50 for on PAYG for the EE Osprey Mini 2, you can take out a one-month rolling contract for £10 and pay £10 for the device. Just made a deal for it...

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ee-osprey-mini-2-mobile-broadband-10-00-for-device-total-upfront-cost-20-pm-currys-2314224

I topped up £10 on Thursday night, to the sim I got the summer deal on.
I just tried this and was Replied to with 'sorry this offer is not available to you'.
It's possible I topped up just prior to the start of this offer I guess, in which case I wouldnt have qualified. The dilemma is whether I want to top up another tenner in the hope I'll get it!!!!

I have a Summer sim (where the data expired a few week ago) with £10 credit on it. I tried the X-mass code (without topping up) and didn't get the data. I didn't get the SMS for this offer, so I tried this one without topping up, and it said offer wasn't available to me, topped up £10 and tried again, and this time I got the Data.

Topped up £10 text Christmas100 to 150, received a text saying congrats 100GB has been added to your account, received another text 10 minutes later my credit is now £0.00! WTF?! Supposed to be 100 Gb free not £10?????

Just pointing out a good deal for unlimited cheap mobile data. That's what this site is about :wink:

And actually it was Tweleverife :smile:

​so what is the correct procedure? text stop pack before topping up, or just after? then text for the data promotion?

Does anybody know - is this valid for orange PAYG plans as well?

Ask three they started getting rid of the one plane last year also have a look below at the links.

Just got a text saying this:

'Last chance to enjoy your Christmas treat! It's easy to get your 100GB a month free for 2 months, just top up 10 and reply with CHRISTMAS100. For into visit ee.co.uk/christmassim'

Activated my SIM with its data about a week ago on the 23rd. I still have a second SIM that hasn't been topped up or activated. Wonder if this affects anything

Anyone worked out how long you can delay between top up and texting DATA100? I don't want the data to start until January. I've just topped up as I know it needs doing before 11th, but it's unclear how much gap we can leave before texting.

I seem to remember 5 days was mentioned somewhere

Why do you persist in referring to the package as 'One PLANE'? It's 'One PLAN'

Thanks worked perfectly.

Their registration page myaccount is a joke. Full of bugs

Checked by Dan and Phil SIM on 30th and I got this message

Topped up today by £10 and I get this message

Anyone has similar issues?

Average size of a decent 720p rip: 4GB. Full 1080p at 60fps usually comes in at around 8-10GB. A decent game can range from anywhere between 5gb-60gb.

Let's pretend that over the two days the individual downloads 3 1080p movies each day. That's about 60gb. Added to that are two decent games at 30gb each. That's a total of 120gb.

Chuck in a couple of seasons of a show in 1080p and that's your 200gb done. It is possible, just highly unlikely.

don't know if this has been mentioned but apparently you can use the remaining credit on your PSN account?

So after all that you come back with my spelling mistake sorry yes you are right its Plan.

I go through 100GB almost daily with the gamesfilms/series i download. If unlimited data plans ever cease to exist im screwed...

YEP! .. TMobile bought out Orange some years back now?, wayyyyyyyyyy before EE then bought out BOTH TMobile & Orange collectively ..... (both of the seperate independant merger's were heavily publicised at the time ... )

this Thread is becoming like a 'Self-Help' of sorts, huh?, hahahahaha.

Heard that before, probably a year ago on here.
And yet I am still on that deal too... with no termination notice

Well it's happened to me

..they are on their way

I've probably missed it but will the summer 100gb sim I got sent before work this time as I have one from before?
Thanks in advance.

Cheers, hopefully it turns up in time.

can this be used in a usb 3g dongle connected to lappy?

Yeah happened to a mate. His last month had 200GB+ and they gave him a stern warning.

I only used 20gb a month.......peed me right off!

CHRISTMAS100 just worked on a summer sim for me which I topped up before the 11th after receiving the 'DATA100' text.

I'm not sure therefore what the difference is between the codes - maybe DATA100 is time limited as indicated by the text insisting on top up before the 11th and then the suggestion that you have to text soon after. CHRISTMAS100 may last as long as it does for the new christmas sims. This would be consistent with the suggestion above that there are in fact no 'summer' or 'christmas' sims - just promo sims which all react the same way.

I can confirm the data started immediately despite me trying all the known tricks to postpone it (and I have 5 sims so do know what I'm doing). This seems to be linked to the lack of pack to stop. Further investigation required if anyone is willing to!

Wow that's harsh, you've got every right to be peed off! I think they should look at those using 50GB+ per month, which gets into broadband territory. If they allowed 100GB per month some folks would probably end up ditching their landlines and broadband contracts.

I'm getting following with EE

unlimited minutes
unlimited minutes Europe - when travelling in Europe
unlimited text
unlimited text Europe - when travelling in Europe
unlimited mms / photo messaging
10gb 4G superfast data - 100mbps
0800 / 0808 free as standard
300 minutes to ALL 08 numbers

All for £ 21.99 per month on 30 days rolling contract

What do you think.....should I look for a better deal?
Anyone?

Thnx

I get Sorry your text was not recognised. Text HELP followed by BA(balance), AL(allowance), UP(upgrade), CR(credit), VO(voucher) or RO(Roaming) to 150. FREE in the UK

Oh it was Three, was it? I thought it was the Russian militants.

That would explain why it didn't work.

cheers!

What are you talking about?

Won't work you have to have a promo sim.
Look near bottom of the link you can get a free sim sent to you still have to top-up £10 to get the offer.

How can you text 150 on a sim in a mifi box ?

Had the top 10 quid before the 11th text a week or so to receive 200 gb data. Just tried but text back said offer not available to you! also tried CHRISTMAS100 no joy either..

I,m using the same sim I earlier had the "more data for you ect. " message on ,topped up tenner then the above text appeared.Thought i,d post this to see if anyone else had similar problem,earlier in the thread some one mentioned "technical" problems?

Sorry you are right i just seen it...It was for 100mb not gb.

Is this for 2 months only then expired

Any one know of a way I can set up Usb 4g modem to connect through a router, then use the router as normal and connect internet through the routers wireless and Ethernet connections.
So using the Usb modem to supply the router with internet and the router to distribute connections as normal.

Thanks

Yes
You can still use the sim and top-up afterwards but you won't get the 100gb

do you have to txt it from a smartphone with 4G LTE capability to receive it?

the reason I ask, is because I just txted 'CHRISTMAS100' to 150 after I topped up the £10, from a non 4G phone, and I had a txt saying ' Sorry, but this offer is not available to you'

I dont know what do you mean but i sent STOP PACK to 150 and confirm it by sending YES, then sending CHRISTMAS100 it did started my first 100GB right away with no chance of being dormant for 180 days

I was led to beleive that after topping up £10 you have 5 days to text for the offer. In the past stoppack would ensure that the data didn't kick in straight away provided it was done from a dumb phone or with data turned off. This was certainly the case with the Summer and Glasto Sims. I still have an unused Summer Sim with the 100Gb add-on still waiting to be used.

I have one of the summer 200gb sims in my phone and had used up all the data. I topped up by £10 , texted Christmas100 to 150, and got the 200gb offer :-)

+1

I have to report that STOP PACK does not work in case any one else gets caught. I had the SUMMER100 sim, and followed this STOP PACK. I the put the spare phone in a drawer, and today looking to start to use the free data, I had messages like:
"Your 100GB of free data has now ended. We hope you enjoyed it" etc.
Otherwise on the STOP pack thread everything looks OK. However it says "When your current pack ends we will not add a new one. If you'd like to proceed just reply YES". Which I did.
But reading that message, it sounds like the STOP PACK would have stopped a renewal from this wording ? So I guess I also used up my £10 on a spare phone in the drawer.
Anyway, clearly not a reliable technique, so will not be using it in future

If you want to delay the start of the 100GB 2 month pack you need to either use a dumb phone or turn DATA off. The behaviour you describe is what will happen if data is used in that brief period between sending YES but before switching off the phone.

The data was turned off throughout. I am reporting what happened. Phone is Windows 8.1 Nokia Lumia. Settings->data connection -> Off
So I don't know what the glitch was, but it is not reliable, so I will not rely on this in future.

I should add though - it is a great deal if used as ee intended. I just will not be trying the trickery as outlined as although many report it worked for them.

Can anyone tell me if this sim can be used in a mifi device? As in is tethering allowed on the sim?

Absolutely!

Thanks :smiley:

Silly question do you have to order a sim or can I just go and pick one up in the local supermarket?

It has to be a promotional SIM ordered online using the specific link.
Regular EE SIMs such as those purchased in EE stores, or other third party outlets aren't eligible.

Where would I find that link, cause the Get Deal at the top of the page doesn't seem to lead to it?

Here you go pal:

Thank you very much, tis much appreciated.

Hi , i have a strange question. The £10 credit will be taken when starting to use the minutes and data? I am led to believe that the 10 Data Pack is £10 and it will be taken when you start using the phone. I just wanted to know if i can use the £10 after the 2 months with 100gb data . thx

Just text 'STOP PACK' to 150 and £10 will be retained. I did the same last week and it worked.

1) Text 'STOP PACK' to 150
2) You will get a text and it will ask to confirm.
3) Send 'Y' to 150 to confirm
4) Pack is stopped
5) Topup £10
6) Send 'DATA100' to 150
7) Enjoy 200 GB data

I already put the credit on the phone and i already send the txt to have the 200 gb . i received the txt back that i can use the data. Should i send the the txt now to stop pack? I didn't call ,txt or use any data.

I always do before adding 200GB data. I think 'STOP PACK' still should work now.

​I had to phone them mate, 150

I've used 50gb so far and in 20 days
Love the 4g data

Hardly use WiFi now

I've done over 500gb this morining and its not even 10am yet, nothing even illegal either.... So yes, its **** easy, i go through 10-15 TB a month without even blinking lol

i was being sarcastic, meant three mobile have crap service thats always cutting out

cant get to register this on the site to top up, still waiting security code to register/confirm/ account.

any ideas

You have to call them, same happened to me and when i called they said that you can't register online without topping up (which makes no sense) but i topped up over the phone.

My first month has finished, I used my Christmas Sim in a modem, made one call on it and they have wiped the rest of the balance and credit, I though it would update automatically as I had msg to say that. I only got 100gb and used 60 of that. How do I go about getting it restarted so I can have another 100 gb from today - any advice appreciated.

Either a very strange coincidence or they passed my details onto Claims companies. Worth the little bit of hassle for the free data.

can this be used on a tablet directly or for tethering

Sure, you'll need to put it in your phone first to send the message.

Just saw a text saying Blackfriars free top up, top up your eye Christmas sim with £10. And get another £10 by the 1/12

I managed to follow the instructions here(probaby another EE thread) and on Saturday stopped pack first, then topped up £10(online by credit card on EE website), and then activated the 200GB offer (CHRISTMAS100), got confirmation texts etc.

But then late on Monday night suddenly got another text from EE saying thanks for topping up £10, even though I've never done it myself/or give permission to anyone, got quite suspicious about the "auto-topup", went to MyEE account to check and it said "E-Topup Payment", which I've not done before, so is this the "free" £10 offer/credit that you're talking about?

No don't think so. I got a text in an unused, untopped up Christmas sim asking me to top up and get another £10 free.

Thanks OP, did the top up with 1 day to spare, work perfectly!

Just realized I still had a sim that I hadn't used yet. I text christmas100 first to see if the promotion was still going. It said I need to topup £10. So I did then text again and got the 200GB

Still had a Christmas sim not opened and topped up this morning £10 but text back from EE says promo ended. :-( Didn't realise u had to top up by a certain date. Any workarounds?

​you should first have sent off the promo-text . if the sim was valid you'd then have received a message advising you top up first. that way you'd know if the 100gb offer was still live before you decided to topup with 10£. this was how I got a second 2mth run with there preceeding summer sim. I'll try it with this Xmas sim once it expires in about 17 days time

Thanks, I still have several promo sims kicking about, maybe I'll try sending a txt from them to see if any work.

Why not?

will it work last year sim ... I might have two of them ...

Let me know if it does i still have my old on in my tablet
