Is it legal to sell the sim cards coming with an upgrade or ordinary prepaid phone separate? Like the o2 sim with up to 70euro.

No sims come with upgrade packs.

an upgrade pack is for existing o2 customers, i.e. it doesn't come with a sim card. the sim packs you can buy separate cost €10 come with €30 credit spread over a few months

Because i have seen people doing it on ebay.. It was not an upgrade pack (sorry for the error in previous post..) but a pack that gives 70 euro.

The problem is that the poor sucker that buys the phone can't unlock it.

The phone????????????
He is on about selling the sim card, OR the upgrade pack with no sim

Thats my understanding of the post anyway.

If this is the case, I dont see why you cant sell them on. Only thing is, the credit is paid back by the network in staged payments, so you pay big money upfront and have to wait a few months to get all the credit

But if was sold for say 50 euro, then having to wait for the credit to be applied over a number of months would be a fair compromise.
Also, would the person bying it have to already be an o2 customer, as they'd have to register it online to claim the credit?

As I understand it, the seller of the separate E70 packs sell on also the phones the sims came with, on eBay.. The phones can be unlocked of course, Nokia remote unlocking codes or through data cable. Has nothing to do with o2, if you don't wanna waste your money and get the unlocking code from them after 1 yr, and really no need to do it cos private unlocking much cheaper.
