O2 website is so little help, so much sell.
I bought a prepaid sim off ebay, and the seller said it came with a
phone he bought to use in the USA so he never used the sim. Package was
sealed when I got it, and contains three booklets on terms and how to
use it and buy more items and services, plus the sim card and a top up
card with the little scratchoff not scratched yet. Seller said it
should have 250 Minutes UK, anyway to check that before I get the UK?
Package appears from about Oct/2005.
Back of the sim card has the number 07922 313 xxx (sorry no calls plz
, serial number, and 20MSSIMN-2G Online Prepay Maldives Sim. Is this
a good number for use in the UK, or do I have some wacky card for an
island in the middle of the ocean? Hoping its in reference to the water
picture on the front.

The number is as good as any other.
In the UK the numbering system is different to that of the USA,
landlines have area codes based on location they begin 01 or 02.
Mobile numbers the dialing code is not based on location, mobile numbers
begin 077, 078 or 079.
The cost of calling a mobile is higher than the cost of calling a
landline, the mobile user is not charged for the cost of receiving
calls, unless roaming in another country.

I wonder if the number might now have been redistributed due to non-
use...
Try calling it and see if it rings :-}
Other than that, a quick google shows lots of UK mobile numbers starting
with 07922 xxxxxx

Re: O2 sim questions, is 07922 good area code
Its worth giving it a try when I get to the UK, worst case it doesn't
work, better it works but has no minutes, best case works and full of
minutes. I may give a try registering online now if I can do that
before I activate the phone (which I guess I can only do in the UK).
The topup cards talking about registering on the web.
Does the 250 min part sound at all reasonable as a package with a new
phone?
Not being sure, and kind of prefering Tmobile, is making me think about
grabbing a different sim if I can. Part of the information on the O2
card makes it sound like I need to buy a L10 topup just to activate, so
might be cheaper in total to buy a new sim card.
Thanks for help on the number, I would have never guess it worked that
way.

Maldives SIM
The Maldives SIM were the ones left over when O2 took over Genie; for a
tenner a month you get 300 texts or 50 mins any network any time minutes,
but no monthly Gprs quota. - Worth keeping, they don't do them now.
