PAYG free sims from O2... can't see the minimum term?

Scougar · 14 Jan 2012 at 18:24

Was looking at this: http://freesim.o2.co.uk/xjx8aYNa?cm_mmc=display-_-prepay-_-01.01.12-09:00-_-31.01.12-09:00_ebay

..and ordered two sim cards. Just a couple of questions if anyone knows the answer:

1) I checked in the terms and conditions and I can't actually see what the minimum term is? Is it 30 days, 12 months, 18 months or 24 months??
2) If I get these in the mail and never open the packet/throw them away, am I still somehow locked into a contract and have to pay something?

It's Payg there is no minimum term and you only get the texts when you top up £10.

Just go giffgaff instead.

There is no contract.

They will steal everything you own. Be careful. The 10 pounds top up offer of 300 texts and 500mb Internet normally last 30days. Might be worth double checking. Its a top up optional rolling contract

Steal everything I own? lol. Please specify?

I have actually bought them to use later, I'm not going to activate them now (if I do at all).

Which network(s) does giffgaff use? Look pretty good on the face of it.

I was only joking around. As suggested giffgaff (so long as you don't mind doing top ups online) is by far the better choice and value for money with there 10 pounds a month option!

Giffgaff looks perfect for me tbh, as I don't call that much anymore. I think what actually happened is that the call quality on my TG01 was terrible and such a pain in the butt to use as a phone that I kinda stopped making so many calls.
