    Unfortunately not, most of the networks that used to offer free sims now charge, well the sim itself is free but it must be bought with a topup.
    Try 48 if you like, they still offer free sims or go into a phone shop and ask for a sim pack.

    Anyone manage to get a 48months sim working? It's not on the network list. I've tried 02 (since 48 is on their network), Tesco (since it's an 089 number) and Postfone (the card's in a Postfone phone) but no luck! It's newly registered, would that make a difference? It's giving me the ''The number entered is already a Vodafone number'' message.

    I don't have any spare but emobile (not meteor) will give you free sims without a need for a topup. I just got 2 today and ported both for the 29 euro ported price.

    I clicked via fatcheese for the 1st order but forgot to click the link again to order the 2nd one. Wondering if I can still get the 25 back for the 2nd order now. Anyone know?

    Do expand? I think its in my Parcel Motel so Ill see it for myself later on...

    My other halves iPhone decided to stop working so on a short term plan we picked up the Smart Mini (the model below it) didnt expect much at all, but was pleasantly surprised at how snappy it was and to be running JellyBean. All google services run well even Navigation. Now its no Nexus but for the money it punches above it weight. My girlfriend has it about 2 months now and still loves it and uses it every day, only big downfall is the camera sucks.

    So in short its a bargain @ 29 euro !!

    From the email I got from FatCheese the cashback is €20 not €24 or €25, sadly you're unable to get cashback unless you click the link from FatCheese. Hope this helps.

    Cheers for the info. No bother. Its a steal anyway. It might be a basic smartphone but I'm getting 2 new smartphones for 40 euro. If you'd said that to someone a year ago they'd have said they must be stolen.

    My fatcheese just showed up there and it seems it is only €20 now, that's grand though.

    Mister Kipling, my local shop sells Lyca sims for 99c, would that be any good to you.
    I think they are sold through payzone so anywhere with the payzone sign should have them

    I bought a vodafone smart mini some months back via FatCheese (€20 cashback offer). I'm approaching the 90 days now and still haven't been paid. I guess there is still time but I doubt they'll pay it because others on here have taken the vodafone deal with them before and never got paid.

    Still worth doing it because there is some chance you'll get it, I just wouldn't EXPECT it :)

    As I've been waiting for cashback on some offers since July I'd say you're not too far from the truth :P

    I bought a samsung sim free smart phone for £13.99 on amazon last week. I need a cheap backup phone.

    I haven't received it yet so can't comment on what it's like.

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-E1200-Sim-Free-Smartphone/dp/B0079JZ4O2/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1386165233&sr=1-9&keywords=sim+free+smartphones

    I think the description might be misleading. Don't think its a Smartphone.

    I bought both the Samsung e1200 and the smart 3.

    The e1200 is great as just a dumb phone, but it's far from smart in any sense of word. Battery life is great though, you'll get 8+ days standby on it no problem.

    I can't say a single nice thing about the smart 3, screen is poor, battery life is poor, performance is worse.

    I also never got my fat cheese referral, even after opening a support ticket, so that was a bummer too.

    Android phone might be handy for backing up google settings things like that.

    Otherwise a simple phone might be more useful, especially for running, cycling, festival, nights out etc.

    Some sales on Carphone warehouse like the Sony Tipo experia E for not much more.

    No you have to sign up to fatcheese, log in, and go to the vodafone website via the link on the fatcheese website. There is no other way. Sorry.

    I've a Smart 2 that I picked up for free using cherry points. It's grand for what I need apart from the small storage (146MB Used and 26MB free) and an old version of Android. Think it's 2.3.

    Now to try and unlock it to get a SIM so i can get the code to get this offer. Though is it worth it? :)

    They text the security code to the sim you are using to port, i.e. your emobile sim. Otherwise you could just port your friend's number over without him knowing as a prank etc.

    Review here. Btw the screen is 3.5in, 320x480 pixels, not 4in 400x800 as someone listed above.

    As someone else said, grand first phone for a kid, for €29...

    Someone else has a name.

    And you're talking about the Smart Mini. We're all talking about the Smart 3.

    There's a comparison here.
