Many thanks to whomsoever suggested Giffgaff. I ordered a SIM with £10
top-up, activated it, put it into my Nokia, and made a phone call.
Easy. It even reports the top-up balance immediately after terminating
a call or sending a SMS.


The big advantage of giffgaff is their free 0800 access
which you can use with a calling card service like 1899.com
(for non BT lines) giving you calls to UK landlines and international
for as little a 1p per min (plus connection charge)

Excessive Calling card use of free 0800 was why 121 and Orange
stopped offering it
