Does anyone know if Sim Boxes are legal in the UK?

Hi MrTomes

I'm sure no one here would intentionally question your integrity.

The more O2 employees on the forum the better imo.

Ok 5 pages into the thread...but working on the theory that there is no such thing as a stupid question...what on earth is /are sim boxes?

There you go...a question many may have wanted to ask...but didn't....so I will

I had read all the thread @Beenherebefore ...but just really wanted to know what the sim boxes were...and why it caused so much debate if you like.

I had never heard of sim boxes before...and now I have...

Every day is a school day...:smileywink:
