    5) It is not just about you !! I said, if you cant get around the age discrimination. Some people have been asked for passport scans.

    +1 at your other points, If you were previously on o2 and they have your dob you won't be able to get around it. Few people tried just to see are they sharing the info and it appears they are.

    @Fungus
    It'd be interesting to know if anybody who has been asked for a passport scan has just applied for another free sim instead. The chances of being selected twice with a passport scan letter I'd suggest are pretty remote on a pot luck basis.

    Good god, if true.

    Firstly, Telefonica engage in blatant age discrimination. Now they are sharing personal privacy information internally for any purpose they feel fit.

    Some other firms have got in serious trouble with the Data Commissioner for using DOB data for anything other than account verification purposes.

    Obviously, you can get around this by porting to a different service provider and then to 48.

    A Spar shop probably your best choice, they seem to definitely have them listed on their payzone machines even though they might not be aware of it.
    I tried a couple of other shops today and it wasnt on their machines.

    You can't get around it if you were ever on 02 they'll have your birthday in their base somewhere along the line. Makes no difference if your on another network.

    I think there discriminating and that needs tothe be addressedthe but I doubt there doing anything wrong by checking your details in their own base. 02 is 100% 48, if the were not the I'd see a serious problem sharing the info.

    I've ordered one for the laugh, but already have a Golden SIM, so I'll soon see where I stand.

    Anywhere with a pink payzone should have them, just tell the dude behind the counter to keep scrolling past tesco, postpone and lycra mobile and 48 will be at the bottom.

    The reps in my college said its really open to anyone and gave sims to practically the whole college .

    I asked on their Facebook page and they said it is only for 18-22 yr olds. I asked them about the reps in the college but got no answer.

    Someone is lying somewhere. I don't care what anyone says asking for a passport scan is dodgy.

    thinking of getting one but am not sure if I really want to port over yet! Was going to just get the sim to have as a back up but I notice that you have to provide a phone number, this doesnt automatically port you over or anything does it??

    No , the porting of a number only begins with the registration of the sim, anyways I would recommend holding off porting over til they get themselves sorted out.

    don't think so. But there are 5,000 texts per month included in this offer.

    Thanks. Webtext with that amount of texts per month would be handy for me.

    I need to know this too. I'd rather keep my old number, but if porting it means I'll get nabbed I'll stick with the 089 one. Anyone over the age of 22 ported over specifically from o2?

    It won't. That still uses web texts. It just removes the need for you to navigate to the vodafone, 02, meteor etc. website in order to send them, similar to cabbage.
