Yes they last 12 months or until data used, I bought mine from "Mymemory" there is a discount code to get it about a pound cheaper but I cant remember it, someone on here may know it. Its in another thread somewhere.
Its a payg sim but cheaper to buy another than top up.

Thank you. Looks like they've put the price up since you guys purchased @ £22, now showing as £23.95 but still better than £30 on Three's site for sure.

Use discount code BOXV5 to get it for £22.75. I just found it on the other thread.

There was a discount code which brings the price down a bit further. Search this forum using '3 sim' or similar to see if you can find it.

Edit
Whoops. Late to the party as always.

Just having a shufty at the manual, does anyone know what the PIN code mentioned in point 6 of the attached screenshot is / will be for these Three SIMs? Is it printed on them somewhere? Had no idea SIMs even had them tbh.

I tried a 3 data SIM that I got from Argos. I just inserted it in the boot reader and it worked without entering a PIN.

I don't think you'll necessarily be asked for one, I haven't with a giffgaff SIM. I'm sure if there is a PIN associated with the SIM, it will be clear in the packaging from 3.

I think its advised in the manual somewhere not to set one.
As is, the sim is plug and play. No need to set anything. It just works straight out of the box.

Smashing, that's what I was hoping to hear, thank you.

And final question (promise) - how do you check the remaining data allowance on these Three SIMs? I've used a SIM from Three in the past for my phone when going abroad and I know how to do that in my account section on the Three website, but the login for that is the SIM's phone number and with a data-only SIM I guess it probably won't have a number, so how do you see the remaining allowance?
