Hi all,

I am just starting an Arduino project. I have bought a GSM module, but need a sim for it. It will only receive calls/texts. It does not need to be able to make calls. I don't want to spend £10 on top-up to activate one.

Can I get a free PAYG sim anywhere that will be able to receive calls without spending £10 to top one up and activate it?

Thanks,

Matt

Thanks for the replies.

Did you have to originally topup the sims first though to activate them?

I was under the impression if I pick up a free sim I need to topup with a tenner to activate it before it'll receive calls.
