Fone Forum

Advertised on ebay as free internet for the year, even with no top up. Must be too good to be true.

Would i be correct ?

You joined this forum tonight and eight minutes later your first post about this???????
Are you selling these sim cards?

Isn't that why you join a forum, to ask advice/opinions ?

News: Fone Forum is pleased to welcome its valued guests and members to our 3rd year of action !  We hope you will all enjoy your time with us, and find us a happy community of shared interests - who pool our knowledge, so that we can all come away better informed.         
    

Most of the times when someone joins this forum it is indeed to gain advice and opinions. But mostly when they are new they tend to ask about the services which are available on here rather than post something and say its free for a year when in fact its £19.99.
You may be a genuine new member here and I welcome you onto this forum and hope you enjoy your stay here, but it just seemed a bit strange to me that a few mins after joining you would post about something which is on ebay and not something on this forum.

Just found a recent thread that you started concerning tmobile sims, i presume that this is where they have been sourced from. It could even be you that is selling them.

So.....thanks for the welcome, you could have pointed me in that direction.

I'm going to try my hand and buy one, and then get my free internet for the year.

So how many did you obtain from tmobile and is it working well ?

I don't think so mate as the one I posted about was a contract with minutes and texts and booster and it was a glitch on t mobile website, so these sim cards are NOT the same.
About how many I obtained from T mobile then I think you need to read my original post carefully.
I'm not the one who is selling them as I only found out from you.
I don't need to point you in any direction, I was only welcoming you onto this forum.
Go ahead and buy one and pay the £19.99 for the year, I don't know where you are getting  " free internet for the year" from.

Maybe you are one of the unlucky people who missed out on the T mobile deal which I posted. ;)

Go ahead and buy one and pay the £19.99 for the year, I don't know where you are getting  " free internet for the year" from.


Ok,sorry not totally free but around £1.66 a month aint bad is it ?

In all honesty, if the seller is legit, then I think its very good value, £1.66 per month for 500mb internet per month, you won't find better deal for internet as far as I'm aware.

It's worth mentioning T-Mobile blocks VOIP providers, ie Skype won't work...

I don't know whether these are a scam or not, but one factor that you might like to weigh is that T-Mobile sell a package called "6 month's internet" for £20: I have never heard of them selling one year package, let alone them selling it for a penny less than the 6 month's one !        ::)

If you have placed an order I wish you good luck, but I am inclined to me very slightly sceptical myself.       ;)

Note: there is an offer of free internet for a year ( after a £10 topup ) from T-Mobile: see here (http://www.itproportal.com/2011/11/16/t-mobile-offers-12-month-free-data-iphone-4s-or-iphone-4/#13). 
*BUT* that is only for the iPhone 4s or iPhone 4, and involved a micro SIM (although the Nokia N9 and the Lumia 800 should also be compatible, as well as the iPad 2).        ;)
This deal is available *exclusively from T-Mobile online (http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=389X622&site=itproportal.com&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.t-mobile.co.uk%2F&xguid=841980a12544812de37eb88a046f53e7&xcreo=0&sref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.itproportal.com%2F2011%2F11%2F16%2Ft-mobile-offers-12-month-free-data-iphone-4s-or-iphone-4%2F%2313).*        ;)

for discussion on the  tmobile direct deal that mobaholic posted, see hukd post:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/t-mobile-payg-sim-12-months-free-data-with-one-off-10-top-up-t-mobile-online-1061735

Just a catch up. Got the sim today.

Stuck it in the ipad and got a message saying your 12 months free internet is ready to use so am quite happy with it !  :)

I assume there is a FUP?

500 MB per month??

It would depend on when the freebie was first awarded I believe.         ;)

Before a certain date their internet FUP was 1 GB.       :)

After that date, the FUP was first halved to 500 MB, but after a flood of customer complaints, I understand that they changed their allowance wording so that it is currently 500 MB *for downloading* BUT 'unlimited browsing'.       :)

At least that is what I was told by a customer service representative recently.       ;)

However, please note that I have no actual knowledge of what the FUP is on this particular online only deal.       ;)

"Get 100 minutes free & 12 months free internet worth £40*
 
Top up £10 each month and get 100 free anytime minutes to
 UK mobiles and landlines to use the next month."

Is it possible you get to keep the free internet if you dont top up every month.? No mention of having to top up regularly to keep it. ;D

BJ - yes, free internet for 12 months once you have topped up with the initial £10.

If you need a micro sim adapter, ask at an O2 shop or delivered from:

Thanks for that info pharmaa.

The OP could have saved himself  some money !!   ;D
