Create a Micro Sim Card from a Normal Sim Card
Posted by: MJ10 in Other Things on July 6th, 2010
There will be many cutomers who are put off the iPad and new iPhone 4 due to the high contract costs offered by mobile companies.
So is there a way around these? Well, yes there is!
There is a simple way to cut your regular sim card for use on an unlocked iPad or iPhone 4.
So here’s our little how to guide:
You will need:
- 1x iPhone 4 or iPad (unlocked)
- 1x standard SIM card (Why not get a Free Sim card?!)
- 1x pokey-pokey device
- 1x scissors
‘
- Remove the Sim card holder and investigate. Check the sizes and placing of the card.
- Use sissors to cut your sim to size. Start roughly then trim it down.
- Your micro SIM should measure 15 by 12mm
- Enter back into the holder and into your device.
‘
Moment of truth… You will either see your network in the top left, or an error message saying “No SIM Installed”. If you get a few Free Sim Cards then you can just try again.
And your done! You get one working iPhone 4 or iPad with none of the expensive contract costs! You can use your current mobile contract sim, a current PAYG sim or get a new free sim.
Enjoy!

Free Gifts with Mobile Phones
Posted by: Freebie-Haven in Other Things on May 10th, 2010
Over the past few weeks I have been looking into new Mobile Phone deals as I have been out of contract for about 3 weeks. I decided I would take a look at all the offers to see which would work out best for myself.
At the moment I pay about £20 per month but could stretch my budget a little further if the deals were good. I started to look at which suppliers would offer a Free Gift for joining such as a Free Wii, Free Laptop, Free Phone etc….
I was amazed at just how many of the suppliers are willing to give you something for free.
OK, I thought this has got to leave me out of pocket somewhere so I delved into the deals. Firstly most of the deals nowadays require you to sign up for 24 months instead of the 12 months that you needed to previously. Not a bad thing as many phones nowadays are so ‘smart’ that they will probably last 2 years whereas the older phones would be lucky to get 1 year.
Then I noticed that a lot of these offers had terms such as you only get your gift after 3 months or after 2 bills had been paid. Well I want my gift straight away which is the reason I am looking into it now. The cashback offers are usually the most annoying because you have to claim it back after 3, 6 and 12 months by sending a claim slip and a copy of your bill and if you do not claim within a set period you don’t get your cashback.
In the end I plumped for a Free Nintendo Wii, my contract is £25 per month and I get a new phone. Not a great phone but I already have an iPhone which is unlocked so can simply use that. The phone I receive will be a present for a friend and the Nintendo Wii will be used to help me get fit.
If your contract is nearly up then have a good shop around as you may be surprised at the deals you can get by switching suppliers. Also you can keep your number with any of the suppliers so nothing to worry about there.

Two movies plus sweets, popcorn & a drink for £5 at Blockbuster
Posted by: MJ10 in Online/Offline Bargains, Other Things on April 28th, 2010
A sneaky loophole means you can get two movies or games plus sweets, popcorn & a 2 litre drink from Blockbuster for £5, EVERY week. This is supposed to be for T-mobile customers only, yet grab a free sim card and ANYONE can do it.
While the deal is meant to be Mon-Thurs, you can keep the rentals for 2 nights, so do it on Thursday and you’re set for Friday.
T-Mobile is offering both contract & PAYG customers a special £5 deal at Blockbuster. Text a special number and you’ll be sent a code enabling you to get two new release movies or games plus sweets, popcorn and a 2 litre bottle of fizzy pop. Yet the loophole is anyone can pick up a free T-mobile sim card and access the deal. You can then get the unlimited deal every week.
>> Free T-Mobile Sim Card <<
Once you’ve got it, all you need to do is text ‘NIGHT IN’ to 3000 for free any time and you’ll receive a code you’ll need to show at the Blockbuster check out. (If you’re not already a Blockbuster member, you’ll need to register, it’s free). After six months you’ll either need to top up or get a new free sim as it will expire if not credited. Yet provided free sim cards are still available, you can simply get a new one.
With the £5 deal you get:
- Two movies or one movie & one video game. For 2 nights. Includes DVDs, Blu-Rays and new releases, though box-sets are excluded.
- One pack of Blockbuster sweets. Choose from vanilla fudge, chocolate crispies, nougat, toffee bon bons and chocolate fudge.
- One pack of Blockbuster popcorn. Choose from sweet, salted or toffee popcorn.
- 2 litre bottle of Blockbuster soft drink. Choose between cola and diet cola.

Launch of Freebie-Haven
Posted by: Freebie-Haven in Other Things on March 2nd, 2010
Hi everyone. My name is Neil and I am going to be providing you with all of the best freebies the internet has to offer.
About 2 years ago I was in a bit of a financial rut and started to browse the Internet for freebies to help my situation. What I soon realised is if you know where to look you can get lots of great stuff absolutely free.
I have used affiliate schemes, cashback site, vouchers and survey sites to get as much as I could. I have also entered nearly every Internet competition I have come across as well as taken part in Product Testing and Mystery Shopping.
I hope to provide you with links to the most trusted, easiest and best freebies out there. Occasionally I will post about great bargains so although they are not free the offers are just too good to miss.
I will say now that a lot of the links will be referral links which means that when you click through them and sign up you will be helping to pay for the upkeep of this site. The site will be paid for by the advertising revenue I generate. If the site is making enough money then the freebies will just get better and better.
I will soon be announcing our Launch Competition so please keep your eyes out for that. If you want to keep up to date then please sign up for our newsletter. I promise mailings will be kept to a maximum of 2 a week and will likely be a lot less than this.
Well that is the introductions out of the way lets get down to business.
The first Freebie I would like to share with you Free O2 Sim cards.
See the next post for full details.
Thanks
Neil (Freebie-Haven)
