Great thanks, what is the cheapest way to buy a pay as you go simm? If I get the £5 calls and texts simm do I have to top up £10 before I can use it? How is this £5?

@Lilactimes73 

Yes, £10 is the minimum top up but will cover two months of the £5 bundle.

Hi, have pay as you go simm and have topped up, how do I register thei so I can then ask for the phone to be unlocked? Thank you

You need to use the phone to call and text for a day or two which will register it on the O2 sysyem when used.

You can then request the unlock.
