Yes, the sim makes the phone active. A proper phone sim will give you calls, texts and data.
Your dangle sim is data only.
Yes, when you top up your phone sim the phone will work.

Well I got the Aldi Medion E5005 and found both my present SIM cards too big to fit.

Called at phone shop and they swopped my PAYG phone SIM for a new one and transferred my number and credit to it.  New SIM now in Medion and phone is working.

Got onto the internet via my home wi-fi.

Finding it hard to use nothing like a computer but I will get there.

Need to get my Search engine to find a site with a dummies guide to smartphones.  🙂

Thanks for the help.
