B&YOU: carte prépayée - Page 4

VladS · 13-10-2012, 21:09

There are a few B&YOU SIM cards for sale on eBay for €14.95 with free shipping to Europe and North America. I just ordered one...

Here's the listing: eBay | B&YOU Sim Card with 15 min calling credit - BRAND NEW - AVOID ROAMING FEES

There are several problems with buying B&You SIM cards from eBay:

They will not be registered in your name, but to the original e-mail address that ordered them.
They are unlikely to be nano-SIMs. One should always buy nano-SIMs now, given that a nano-SIM can be easily enlarged with a free adapter but a larger SIM cannot be so easily reduced in size when newer phones start taking smaller SIMs. Given the difficulty in receiving the SIM in the first place, it is likely to be just as difficult to receive replacement SIMs.
The price is three times the normal price.

I'm just going to write to the guy selling them and ask about Nano-SIM, as well as ask about the email for sign up.

Price is OK, they are cheap to begin with.

Perhaps tell him that we want at least 7 of them altogether. I wonder whether he can do a deal and order some more using our own logins. Perhaps suggest €8+postage each.

Just received reply:

pour la nano sim = pas de problemes
pour l'adresse email = pas de problemes car je peux mettre votre adresse email.

any further questions, buddy ?

cheers.

What we need him to do is order the SIMs using our own B&You user accounts. For 7 SIM cards, €8+postage would be fair, giving him a €21 profit. Also if it's not done on eBay, he saves paying eBay fees. The postage costs are at http://www.laposte.fr/content/downlo...e-01122011.pdf

Yes... I think it may be good!

I did send him a return message:

Yes, actually!

There's about 7 of us on a forum: http://www.prepaidgsm.net/forum/fran...repayee-4.html

We would like to order each one card.

Could you make us some deal?

Cheers,

There's a huge amount of information about B&You in Forum LesMobiles. There's one thread specifically about the prepaid card that is fast approaching 1000 posts since it was launched only five weeks ago.

Do you think it is too late for me to join as the 8th?
