I bought about a dozen of this around July last years from Pound shops. It is exactly the same simcard. I activated and already used two of them. It is written on the package to be activated something about June 2016 (?).

I just found out last week, when I tried to activate the credit it by sending the text to 150 with message "STOP PACK" it is mentioned "barred". I have tried three of them, the same problem ?? Has anyone found the same problem ?

Is there any way it prevent this to happen again if I got the new one sold on the market ?
What I might think is that to activate the £5 credit for all sim card as soon as it arrives with the hope the the credit does not have an expire date ? Has anyone tried it ? thanks

i always get these off chitterchatter on rakuten with free points they keep giving me.some work some dont.longer you leave them the less likely they will work.when they do work you can use them on google play store if you can find anything you actually want to buy that is i struggle.another use i have for them is keeping the pack and using them in my sons cheap nokia he takes to school for his rucksack incase he needs to get in touch.say he misses his bus or whatever reason.

I used them for call to Pakistan. have to "add on" option in. but recently I tried same but no work. credit is on sim. don't know why?

i seen these in home and bargins for 79p i tried to post it on here but i dont know how to as it wont go through

Can these still be used for the Google play credit on android?

cheaper at home bargains 79p

5 weeks by £1 credit.(25 min, 25 sms)
Not worth

I'm guessing there's no easy way to convert this to PSN credit?

Only 98p if you go through Topcashback :stuck_out_tongue:

Great to ring Pakistan

Thanks

good for one time purchase but the guy blocks you and does not even respond when you ask him to unblock you after 3 months waited over a year he still has not unblocked me????????????????????????????????????????

text "CALL ABROAD" to 150.Pak call cost 10p per minute. as u get in 99P so 50 minute in £1.
better if u get with rakuten points.
other way lyca mobile charge 2p.

Can I use the £5.00 credit to unlock my phone

I've been buying these for a while, but the last one I tried to use, I'd had it a few months mind, seemed to have been deactivated. If you do buy make sure you use them asap and don't leave in a drawer for 3 months! Ideal with a dual sim phone just for data using the £1 a week data pack.

I use these to phone home

Is there any expire date once £5 credit is activated ? Has you tried it ? Thanks

it comes with £4 credit and 50 texts in the bundle. is there a way of topping up £1 say through a store and making it into £5 to transfer to a psn wallet?

​there is no expiry date for credit, but if you don't use your sim card for six months then your sim will be disconnected. To keep your sim card active without using your credit is receive phone call or text from any other mobile within 6 months.

You need to make at two actionable charges every 120 days to keep the SIM and credit live or it will be deactibated

I do not hitnk this information is correct. I have used it in September 2015



Thanks this is what I believe ...
In your opinion when you buy the SIMcard it is better to activate it straightaway or Just activate it when you are about to use it. In my personal experience when it is not activated, it will be barred for activation within a few months, even much earlier that those mentioned on the packaged. I have lost about £12 because of this.

I had some of these I bought a few months ago unactivated and all mine are barred now I just tried to activate them what a f**king w2aste of money ............ grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
