    Not sure if O2 had stopped sending the fee sims but I see they are giving a max of 4 free sims at www.freesims.ie, just in case anyone is interested.

    Yes!

    Change the o2 sim to vodafone. Takes 5 minutes, you have to go into a vodafone store. Register online after to get 80 euro (ten euro a month). Then use the IOU buddy system to put the credit on your own account.

    Do it with all 5 sims to get 400 euro!!!!!

    Ive ported 5 of these to vodafone & registered them...

    I thought I would be getting 10 a month sent to these. However I got a text from vodafone telling me to top up by 10 euro to get next month’s 10euro free credit.

    Is this correct? I see that this is mentioned on their web site now but I could have sworn there was no conditions attached to the 80 euro free credit when I ported these!

    I reckon vodafone would be wise to such moves.

    they hardly restrict it to only vodafone customers so it might work. maybe they would. anyone try it out?

    I only changed 1 then walked down to another vodafone shop a changed another (used a fake name just in case they were keeping records). Still have to change the last 2.

    I got the €10 straight away but for some reason i could not send the second ten euro untill the next day????

    Indeed, I use all fake names when porting numbers. I find the cast of Boston Legal or any soap opera handy for inspiration when it comes to choosing names. :D

    Got my sims today and changed two of them to vodafone to get the credit! Done two in one shop. You get two euro as soon as you activate it and another ten when you register online. Sent it to my phone and got 11.85:D:D had problems with the other sim, the one in the shop messed up changeing it, so had to call over the phone, went through a big process and only got a fiver:mad::(

    You know when you port a number from the free O2 sim to a free Vodafone sim, does Vodafone text you the 5 digit code or do you have to call O2 to get it :confused:?

    Just be careful because vodafone are very ineffiecent at porting numbers via the 5 digit code thing. I tried to port 2 numbers that way and they never ported. Ended up in the end going to a shop to get them done.

    Does Meteor or O2 have anything like this where you can send the credit to another persons phone?- like the buddy IOU??

    Can you do a port for vodafone over their webpage on the internet?? and if you ring up is it really slow to get the numbers through. Also do you have to register the phones to get the port to go through or can the port go through with an un registered number?

    Also can you pick up the free sims at the O2 store or are they only giving them out on the website? How long does it take for the free sims to come through in the post?

    Not sure about in-store, but I ordered them on-line, took me 2 days to get them (why go in-store :))

    P.S.

    Make sure you order 5 of them because people who ordered less had problems with delivery.

    I thought it might be easier to walk into the store and get them. but if you get them in the store then you have pay 10e , so it defeats the purpose really.

    2 days is fairly good. what about porting over to vodafone. can you do this over the phone with their customer care rather than going into a shop?

    I think you have to top up by ten euro each month on each month to get the (8x10e) 80e for each phone.

    Don't know, never done that myself, but as it's been mentioned earlier on this thread, it seems it's better to do it in a shop.

    I can't find anything on the voda website to suggest that.
