Just fill in your details and SIM card will be posted to your address. These are features that you will have if you use it:

• up to 1000 free texts every month when you top-up
• call anyone, anytime, for 15p a minute
• free evening mobile Internet browsing when you top-up with £20 a month

• a Reserve Tank of £2.50 extra credit in case you forget to top-up
• gigsandtours – hear about your favourite artist’s gigs before everyone else
• enjoy Orange Wednesdays – 2-for-1 cinema tickets every Wednesday

I think it is worth getting this SIM card at least for Orange Wednesdays, you don’t have to use this SIM as your primary phone, but everytime you want to go to cinema with your friend or partner, you can use it.

You can order up to 4 SIM cards in one go. I have ordered SIM card from Orange before and it does arrive within 2 weeks.
