Misleading...

Its a sim card with £4 credit preloaded.

Also available at Ebay: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm?itemId=172057239867

Exactly.

As far as I know, you can also unlocked your phone using this £5 credit.

Good point but not for everybody. I think it's once a month or so.

Posted a couple of days ago.

Tried that on 2 sim cards, doesn't work. You can however call EE and ask them to cancel the talk and text pack and they'll manually put the £1 back on the sim card. But no, despite numerous people saying the 'STOP PACK' works, it really doesn't... for me it just stops the pack for the next month but doesn't apply for the existing. Maybe i have some new updated sim packs.

Plus anyway i was referring to the OPS title which read that its a £5 top up, which it isn't. Its £4 (or £5) preloaded on a sim card.

No there is a big difference between a topup and a preloaded sim. A topup is for an existing number this is for a new sim, as such the deal was misleading hence the need to change the title.

I've said "Exactly"that's because you will get £5 credit and not a £4 if you send a text to 150 and write "Stop pack". I know thereally is a big differences between a top up and a credit that's why I've requested above to change the title.

+1

Every time i get the sim and text "STOP PACK" I get £5 also.

This is quite correct. Text "Stop pack" to 150, then answer "YES" when you get a text asking you to confirm.

However, make sure you have turned off data before inserting the new SIM, or it could immediately start taking data from the default £1 plan before you had chance to stop it.
This is probably what's happening to any who don't end up getting their full £5 allowance.

Does anyone know if i can use the £5 credit to donate it via sms to my local dog rescue centre?

These can be used on PSN right?

Nope, data OFF, 4G OFF. Insert sim and text 'STOP PACK' right away, then reply to the sms received with 'YES' but the £1 has always been taken. It has happened twice with the latest EE sims received this week.

Works for me

this has always been £1 though. guess it's just a reminder...

Always the same price. COLD. Sorry.

Dear Super18.
I am very interested in this as I have Handset locked to EE. If you could direct me how to do that, or have nay link, it will be very useful.
thanks

Of course.

Well I have tried more than a dozen. Text to 150 STOP PACK. I got all of them £5.00. The important thing to notice here is that, you will need to use an old non-smart phone which does not have internet connection.

Thanks that is what I also have heard. But I am asking how to do that. Any info, or even link will be very much appreciated ..

I've just pasted a link hear but I don't know if HUKD will let me do it.

In this case, use non-smart phone which cannot access the mobile internet. It will work ..

So, what can we do with the £4 other than call/text/data, etc?

Just realised that I've got 4 accounts and remembered that I'm constantly getting 100 free points every 6 days or so which always expires. I've now purchased 6 of these!

What you can do is just follow the instructions below and hopefully you'll get it.

1)put that on google: ee unlock phone online
2) Click on the: Unlocking your device| help ee
3) You will be redirected to the unlocking page info so then just click on the link: filling in our online form.
4) You'll get the question: What type of plan do you have with us? Select PAYG,PAYM or Sim only. If you click on the PAYG then you will get this..
5)Do you have enough credit to pay the £8.99 (incl VAT) admin fee? Click yes or no.
6) After clicking yes or not then you will be transferred to the ( your details page). Just follow the instructions and I hope you will be fine.

Ordered 2. Gonna try them as PSN credit. Only cost £0.88 with points so worth a punt for potentially £10 credit.

Anyone know if EE will move the credit over to one sim?

If you also need the link then hear it is: https://myaccount.ee.co.uk/device-unlock/

I'm going to use mine on play store app purchases, there are a few things I want to buy.

for 1p more in many sainsburys stores, usually these simcards hanging on strips no on normal hooks /shelves

​I'll chance my luck with customer services and see different they will merge the credit and add £1 as a goodwill gesture :smirk::smile:

Thanks I'm barred for some reason for buying these sims from ebay. Possibly due to a recent username change so picked up a couple from rakuten. Also had 11 points to take off the price.

So can be used on play store purchases?

Yes - I've been using them to sponsor a friend who's running the London marathon for charity.
>>>>>
Snap [not london but same idea!] best thing for them as using them for anything else, other than if you do want to
use them for retaining #'s on a sim, is gifting them..

Brilliant way to give someone £5 and even better if your can do lots of them ;-)

very good deal, very cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks

I've done it on a few sims, are you making sure data is off and texting stop pack to 150 as soon as you put the sim in a turn the phone on? I think if you don't do it within 5 minutes it may self activate the £1 pack.

Thanks. Appreciate that.but how to unlock it using this simcard if, you will need enough credit to pay the £8.99 (incl VAT) admin fee while this one only have £5 credit ?

Top up £5 first (or £10 if £5 top up is not allowed) ?. Well this is actually what I am trying to avoid, as I am just worried if the unlock process is not successful I will be loosing £5 ..

Is there any way to combine the credit from several simcard ??

Is there anyway to combine 2 sim card credit into one sim-card to get £10 ?

The reason why I am asking as I want to unlock my Mobile which is locked to EE.
For unlock EE will need £8.99 (incl VAT) admin fee while this one only have £5 credit. So two Simcard with £5 each to be combined into one simcard will produce £10 ?

Is there anyway of doing this ??
thanks

Can i order a bunch without having to worry about them expiring?

People have been using these to top up to PSN for some time now.
It costs £2 to get £5 credit (so 60% off)

1) Buy this sim for £1, you get £5 credit
2) Buy a £1 top up voucher from an EE store and top it up, giving you £6 credit
3) Top up £5 to PSN. To do this costs a text message at standard network charge which is 10p (which is why you need that £1 top up voucher)

The problem is stroppy staff at EE acting like they are not paid enough to not worry about the efficiency of printing off £1 top-up vouchers for you.

Dont forget you can also use these on Google Play without any of the hassel involved in topping up to PSN.

PENTAPOST!

Yeah, sorry about that. No idea why that happened...

If you make an account online and register a card to it, you can then top up by text - and you can top up by just £1 that way which would save you going to a shop for a voucher.

anyone heard that ee are giving 10gb free data on their payg sims if you top up £10?

Odd, I've definitely done it at least 3 times. I stopped packs, topped up by £1 using the CRxxxx 1 yyy format as above, then used the £1 Talk and Text pack for a week when needed. It definitely worked. I did it all via texts to 150, starting with HELP I think. I know online you can only top up by at least £5 but texting does/can work.

Works for me, turned data off on my phone £5 credit, cheers op

Anyone had any luck with getting the mobile billing to work in the Play Store?

I've removed all my old EE SIMs that I bought over 3 months ago (which worked before)

What I'm doing is Google Play > My Account > Add payment method > Use Mobile billing but then it just displays "Verifying account - Sending account verification SMS to your mobile service provider" before producing "Error - The account verification SMS could not be sent. Please try again."

Weird as it worked with my last 2 SIMs but not these two...
