No There is not! I'm using one now and I have never ever topped it up.
Once you register the sim on the web address they include with the sim card the 200mb are added automatically each month.
Every now and again they send me an email saying they have noticed I have not used the sim cards yet even though I have been using them each month.

I struggled with getting this to work, then re-read the description in the post.

Do NOT click on the link

You must COPY AND PASTE the web address into your browser

I did this and it worked for me.

Thanks for the post

thansk! this will be perfect for the sim slot on the new car!

You can use either sim for watsapp because both have a number attached to them and can receive the activation text message from watsapp.

​How does that work for the likes of what'sapp where it uses your mobile number. Will it use the number for data or the one for calls

Great, thanks very much. Sounds like it's just what I'm after. Planning on getting a new phone with dual-SIM capability, so I might go for the same set-up (TM PAYG + Three data SIM 8-).

The Talkmobile 10p an hour sim has a £5 minimum top up (online) not sure about the minimum if you buy voucher in shops and it does not expire I've saved quite a lot since leaving Three's 3-2-1 tariff because my calls are mostly long ones.
I have a dual sim phone and use these free data Sims off this deal in slot one and a Talkmobile sim for calls and the occasional text in the other slot.

Thanks for that - really interesting tariff. What is the situation re top-ups? What is the minimum top-up and does it expire after, say, a month or is it perpetual like Three's 3-2-1 PAYG tariff?

Here is the link to the talkmobile 10p per hour sim https://talkmobile.co.uk/order-payg-sim/
I was going to post it as a deal but for some strange reason last time it was posted it went cold, I don't know why because I find them much better than when I was with 3 on the 3-2-1 deal where an hour's chat would cost me £1.80 plus when I contacted them about porting my number to them I got through to a UK call centre within a minute unlike 3's India call centre.

Thanx for that useful bit of info.

Ps.
What TalkMobile SIM at only 10p per 1 hour are you rocking please? (as I've had a few TalkMobile Contract SIM's in the last few years, but NEVER heard of your one too mind?, or am I missing something?, hehehe). :-)

thanks for sharing this, i can stick the sim in my old iphone 6 and let the kid use it to hunt pokemon when i take him out, now i'll no longer need to buy a tethering add-on that lets him connect to my phones internet with his tablet.

Does data rollover, so 200mb month one, 400 month two etc?

I just tried the link at the bottom of the first post and it was broken ("bad request")

The link provided just takes me to the 3 home page, and when I navigate to free SIMS the only option I get is the 321 SIM but there is no mention of free 200MB. I s this correct one to sign up for for the 200MB deal ?.

Nice. :-)

I did transcribed before (above) the text from this at registration time ( so the critical bit is "used" in a "chargeable" event, I would assume that the free allowance of 200 MB is not a chargeable activity to be on the safe side):-


And in the Three's "PAYG_Terms_110716.pdf"

9.1 (h) you have not activated a Pay As You Go Voucher on your
account or undertaken any chargeable events or activities (for
example, made telephone calls, sent text or photo messages,
accessed content or the internet or any other Three Services
for which a charge is made) using any credit or allowance on
your account within the preceding 6 month period. If you do not
have an Active Pay As You Go Voucher on your account, your
phone will continue to be capable of receiving incoming calls
for the periods set out in the Price Guide and other customer
documentation; and/or

I did see that after I asked the question and why I gave you a like. I was unsure whether it was a top up every 6 months or as you said, send a 2p text which suits. Thought I'd leave the question up anyway as I'm sure others will have have the same question.

Doh! I have now read the instructions that came with the sims, Doh! again. Now they are up and running. I thought I was fairly clever - but obviously not.

Ordered for tablet. Thanks!!

I had this exact same problem. i;d have my wifi on and be on the free data page. It would then say, turn your wifi off and connect to 3g so we can load the data for you but because i'm not with 3/hadn't topped the sim up...there was no way to get the data. I never got the issue sorted.

popped mine into a MiFi unit and went to the activate page as instructed, but it redirects me to the topup page!!!

Thanks OP, fingers crossed this will work in my daughters new tablet and she can play Pokemon Go away from wifi

Oder page states "It will work in any unlocked 3G or 4G tablet." Will this work with a phone?

there is a topup required
I ordered one last time and it told me to topup atleast £2 before i could use the mobile data

I'm using one now along with a Giffgaff £5 Hokey Cokey for calls and texts and can confirm I've never topped up.

I'm wondering though do I have to top up every 6 months to keep the sim active?

Been using one of these in a kids phone for 6 months now, to give internet an app access without risking a big (or any) bill.

Also took another away on holiday a few times and it worked fine. Enough data for general emailing, internet and WhatsApp especially if you have reasonable WiFi access in a hotel or appartment too.

Then I also use a regular 3-2-1 PAYG SIM card with a £10 topup / addon for calls, text and the 1GB data. You can also use the 50p internet daily addon for short trips - gives you 120MB for 2 days.

Thanks, just ordered a SIM.

​thanks

thanks

It is not allowing me to register via mobile data and when I switch on wifi, I cannot access the registration page.

stupid question, can you use a data sim for calls and texts?

I used the data from this in France in July and it worked fine, no top up was required.

Thanks

Yes it's one of those.....

Yes it's a data sim, and good coverage, but not connecting

I'm going to give it one more shot.

When I turn the wifi off, as instructed by 3 registration page, I lose my internet connection, even though the iPad says mobile data 3

Will this work with a 3G only phone and iPad ? Because I cannot get it to connect.

i have quite a few of these that wouldn't connect - just kept saying that i needed to top up!

FreedomPop do a similar offer...also with no top up required.

I did, but I'm running custom roms and dual sims - It's most likely some retarded settings I'm using. I'm sure it would have worked normally.

I've been using this for about a month and can confirm no topup is required. You just have to register using the address provided in the sim pack.....however I couldn't get data to work in Czech Republic at the weekend - unsure if this is a limitation or if my APN settings are wrong or something??

Either way, free 4G internet each month is HOT from me.

I can also confirm that I've never topped up mine, and have been using it in Mallorca for the last couple of weeks

I was given a Blu Windows phone a couple of months back because the person who purchased it was told it would be upgradable from Windows 8.1 (installed) to Windows 10. Microsoft subsequently dropped the phone from its list of phones that had sufficient memory to support Windows 10. At which point my mate purchased a dearer Nokia Windows phone. Around two weeks ago I powered up the phone and was told an update was available, so I followed the instructions to download and install. To my amazement (and the consternation of my friend) the phone finally booted into Windows 10 and has run perfectly since. I didn't have a SIM for this phone so this free offer will complete my free phone. I insisted giving a tenner to my friend for the phone but he refused taking it. Only drawback is I dislike all flavours of Windows.

Interesting! Tried this a couple months ago and couldn't get it to work. I put the sim in my phone and went to the given web address to register, but at the point it tells you to switch from wifi to data it just said my device wasn't supported.... however, I just got the phone out and tried again and it's worked! :smiley:

I figured it out how to post screen shots so this will confirm the offer is genuine and works if you take the time to register the sims.
Also I used the same email address to register on all my sims and they all went through ok.

tnx... ordered lets see if at time of use it will ask to top up.

Works perfectly. If using more than one and you have problems when one runs out and you switch to a second, clear your cache/cookies. Also, bear in mind that you will need an internet connection for initial activation so that you can access emails to confirm account.

Sounds like a handy backup, will give it a go. Cheers OP

Looking at the t & c's, "and if you're on Pay As You Go you'll need to convert your Pay As You Go credit into an Add-on to get a unit allowance to fully enjoy Feel At Home". So, need an initial top-up on payg if going roaming, and that will last 30 days. Will 200mb be added as an Add-on when roaming more than 30 days?

Thanks
