O2 Classic PAYG Sim Card with code sold by simcardwarehouse

O2 no longer offer these sims. These Sims are the cheapest way to access O2 Prioriy perks including, concert/event ticket presell, free hot drink or bacon butty(Fri/Sat) at Greggs, + more. You need to top up £10, but this doesn't expire, unlike all other PAYG, which expire after a month. The only thing you need to do is send a text, think it's every 6 months, to stop it from expiring. So based on 2p a text will keep you on O2 priority for +250 years! I have mine as second sim on dual sim phone, so useful in emergencys & perhaps as 2nd contact number.

Mine arrived this morning, just tried this and it confirms the tariff is classic 321. Will top up later.

That is indeed clever thinking. We can all be indebted to o2 for life Moreover can use the sim card (although you wouldn't need it) wherever there is free WiFi!

O2 Classic PAYG tariff is still working for me.
I bought one of these Sims for 99p on eBay in June 2018, it's still going fine with the initial £10 top up, and I've have had several years of O2 Priority perks.
Our whole family now have one, and just need to make a chargeable call/text every six months to keep it going.

If you buy one, and register on the My O2 app or website, it'll tell you what tariff you're on before you decide top add £10 top up.
accounts.o2.co.uk/signin
You should be able to receive incoming calls without topping up too.
Then, if you're happy, add your £10 top up, and you should be able to register on the O2 Priority rewards app.

To get free sausage rolls from Greggs!

Speaking to O2 customer services was the mistake there, as they'll just parrot the "Classic tariff no longer exists" line (which is true to a point of course). You should have just activated it and done the top-up, as it would almost certainly have activated on O2 classic (if you purchased the right SIM card). If not, it would still have been months of freebies from O2 Rewards so still up on the deal!

From previous experience customer services they make stuff up all the time (sometimes innocently, sometimes intentionally). I had one of my Classic SIMs go inactive through my own stupidity at not making a call for 6 months (too busy eating the free vegan sausages rolls, drinking the free coffee and, at the time, watching free films at the Odeon!) They promised to reactivate the SIM (tick) and promised to credit the balance back onto the SIM (fail, so promises they make are often empty ones ).

No. Pay monthly contracts only. Get a cheaper O2 contract before you apply for VM renewal and cancel it within 14 days cooling off period. VM will still keep your Volt benefits rest of the contract. It may effect you credit rating due to new O2 contract.

Apparently no e-sims on O2 PAYG

o2.co.uk/hel…sim - "Can I get an O2 esim on Pay As You Go?"

I've been with 02 PAYG for over a decade and still on this Classic tariff which , for now
at least , is still available for legacy users.
So it's not true that they no longer support the tariff.
However, they are likely refusing new registrations for it, though you might be lucky. (edited)

For me the Greggs offer is the only useful one currently.

The Merlin annual pass discount was posted as an offer recently, so must be of value to some. Disney+ for £5.99 a month similar. (The Pure Gym offer is £1 rather than free - still a solid deal for occasional use on the odd Thursday)

if they work when you topup o2 give seller commission if you do not topup then they are on a looser

Yes they do. I purchased some a couple of years ago. They had to be activated within 12 months or so. There's another very similar listing from the same seller as this deal (simcardwarehouse) which promises the O2 Classic PAYG SIM card provided will have at least 6 months before expiry.

If you have a spare handset, perhaps stick it in there for now but remember to keep it active! (edited)

I don't think you can now unfortunately i think they stopped this a while ago.

Same.

Same here, the voucher limit is £1

report them to ebay or leave neg feedback

Mine was supposedly dispatched on the 4th

Yes because I complained ,I had a message from them
All payments suspended while they' are looking into this
The more people that complain about this seller the better for everyone

I am not sure if it would do anything but I've used the "Tell us what you think" link to provide the feedback. Just being wary about what others are experiencing with their accounts.

Saviour. Thanks for your input.

For what you are thinking, you will certainly lose your £20 when doing a "port dance" which is required if you want to keep your number. Now some people are saying that the Classic 3 - 2-1 tariff may not operate. I should just keep the old sim as it is provided the credit never expires, taking into account doing a chargeable activity according to o2 stipulation.

You can always order and try. It's only 20p and do a minimum top up.

Will it allow you to only top up £10?
Even so, I believe those Sim bundles only last a month, then they expect you to top up again.

It's says zero credit on listing, also not sure if it would work as that tariff has been discontinued since a while now
