Anywhere Sim with £30 Credit

These are old sim cards that have expired, a few people managed to get the £60 reinstated. Everywhere sim are now aware and will not give the £60 credit. Sim will work but you have to add your own credit

The anywhere sim is the sim uk travelers have been longing for. Leverging the network coverage of the four major networks. The technology works to; anyone who uses the national rail network knows that the signal vaporises as your journey meanders slowly around the country. Using the Anywhere sim my phone always had at least the same signal as my Vodafone; and frequently had more signal. The phone stayed on "network" without any intervention from me. The downside to this coverage is the cost of using it; a £20 top up is only valid for 60 days; the usage charges are also much higher than single carrier pay as you go cards. For my usage profile this makes the anywhere sim an access all areas card - my normal monthly data usage would average around £125 a month at the current rate of 10p per megabyte; with calls cost 10p a minute and texts 5p. Getting the sim going was relatively simple; i called the number on the chip to register the number. Then put the sim into my phone and the phone signal worked immediately. Setting up data required me to change the APN which a quick google helped me do. After that my phone just kept going. The network offers sms, calls, data, 2g, 3g and 4g as well as voicemail; though it doesn't support mms (though I'm not sure who uses it in the age of WhatsApp, iMessage and allo. To use the sim you will need a sim free phone. The efficient roaming between networks defiantly gives a more reliable signal than sitting on one network alone; though i havent tried making calls as I jump cells on the train. In my mind given the high usage charges and relatively short life of the credit (just 60 days on a 20 pound topup) this feels like is a niche card; that said if you travel a lot and want customers to have a better chance of getting in touch you could redirect your calls from your main mobile as you get in the car or on the train and receive calls with more reliability.

Dig and Delve are selling old sims that have expired. Anywhere sim were as a gesture of good will honouring but they have stopped, Amazon gave me a full refund ;)

I got my Sim card today and I am very pleased. UK roaming I have been waiting for years for! Call prices may seem high at 10p per minute, but I was delighted to find it’s per second charging (eg a 6 second call is 1 penny etc). Don’t even consider using it for data though! I got mine for a basic phone and it’s great.

This is a scam, Anywhere Sim are selling expired SIM cards that have zero credit.

In principal anything that challenges the 'aaarrggghhh no signal' problem is an ace idea! Reading up on this, there are drawbacks... a few key things missing but nothing much. Give it a try!

SIM card credit expired anywhere would not activate

I can't say I had any more ability to get a data connection on my train journeys than using a single network SIM. It can't continue calls across networks, so if it switches the call will be dropped, and calls and particularly data are substantially more expensive than other SIMs. Unless you have very poor reception in key locations for you, this is then just an expensive SIM and my experience (trying it alongside another phone with a Three SIM inside) suggested that there's few scenarios where this will actually help. I'm not sure if a minimal amount of data usage or just an expiry date used up the £20 credit, but having made almost no use of it I found that there was apparently no credit for data left having had the phone on standby. The activation process is similarly ridiculous. Having to phone and talk to someone during office hours and register details that aren't usually necessary for a PAYG SIM is a pain I could do without. In all, the SIM works, but I didn't find the theoretical advantage of the SIM offered any actual advantage while the costs are far higher. Instead I'd recommend either using the network coverage checkers to establish your best option, or buying a few PAYG SIMs to try out and seeing which one gives you the most consistent coverage where you are - this won't swap networks and drop calls, and it won't cost nearly as much to run (and if you get a nice number from one of the test SIMs you can always get a PAC code for it to keep it whichever network you decide to stay on).
