Amazon are sure trying to help the environment???

The 3 24GB Data sim that I ordered yesterday, arrived this morning in a 13.75” x 9.75” flat cardboard sleeve.
Royal Mail could not get it in the letter box.

They do this with SD cards too, ridiculous!

I ordered on in "Amazon hassle free packaging" once, yeah, sure, less plastic - huge outer cardboard packet though :-D

Don't ever order bottles from them....OMFG!

I have ordered SIM cards numerous times from Amazon, but never arrived in a package this large.
As the delivery was Tracked, the Post wanted to hand it to me.
When I told him what was inside, he nearly fainted.

I think it must have been packed by the same person who packed a SD memory card for me, a massive box with loads of bubble wrap inside and my Micro SD card taped to the bottom, I think they were taking the pi s.

I got one today but looking the data used to d/l the map update through my phone, I think there might be a fair bit of data left after the 2 years

Does anyone know, I realise the data lasts two years, but when does the two years start from? I assume when you start using it? In other words, if I buy now but don’t use for a while, will I have lost anything?

That is correct.
Will last for two years, unless you use up all the data before then.

Time to bump this thread I suppose since my sim expired on Monday.

Link to latest deal seems good at £31.29 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Three-Mobil...01M3VJ2B2&th=1

Has anyone come across a better 2 year deal? For me, 10Gb would be plenty. I now have 100 Gb on my phone every month so will probably just use that now, but the deal is there if anyone needs it.
