Can I activate an O2 SIM without topping up?

Found 31st Jan 2010

I have an O2 PAYG SIM that Id like to activate without topping up; is this possible?
If not, any idea what the smallest amount I can top up with?
I have registered the Top-up card but that didnt register the SIM.

Not 100% percent sure but i'm pretty certain you can register all of it online.
If not its possible to top up by only £5.

I registered at O2 online but when I try and call the number I get a message saying that it has not been possible to connect so I guess you do need to top-up before the SIM is active. :x
