Now that you know the network, why not buy an O2 SIM?

It is an O2 SIM card. I want to know how to register it.

Ah! Thank you, Gaz. I fear it has been de-activated by O2.

That means back in the bloody queue again!

Why do they de-activate them? They've already got my money, paid in
advance. It's in their interest to let me not use it, then they don't
have to provide a service. I only want it for emergencies, it's always
off and nobody knows my number.

Because inactive customers don't make good reading for shareholders, and
it's an opportunity to rob you of your money.

All networks do it, O2 are not alone.
