Cheapest Sim to activate Yahoo Mail account?

Spooked on 17/10/2017 - 21:52

I've been locked out of my Gmail account for not using it, I'd like to create a Yahoo email but don't want to use my mobile number.

Is there a cheap sim that I can use just to get the activation SMS?

Thanks!

    Any $2 Sim… Really?

      Thanks. Never ever bought one before so I wasn't sure if you had to then "top it up" with $10 to use it like an Opal card.

      So if I buy a $2 Woolies sim I can use it right away?

        Activate, it will receive fine but you will need credit to send.

        I believe they last 6months without top-up, but could be wrong.

          Thank you, sorry for the dumb question. I have never had a pre-paid sim in my life.

    Telstra free sim
    Just a warning if you buy $2 Optus sim you will most likely be required to recharge it with a minimum of $10 to activate it

      I had a 5 dollar Optus recharge and it let me use that.(even tho it said min of $10)

      (only get 6 days to use oddly)

      Got a free 10 dollar Optus sim from woolies today which made up for the lack of the free activation on the $2 ones.
      (woolies rewards offer btw)

    Get a $5 aldi sim. It comes preloaded with $5 credit valid for 12 months.

    Why do you you want to include your everyday mobile? Is it a work phone? Genuinely curious

    BTW username checks out, assuming you are paranoid about yahoo

    After all the hacking, no one should be opening new yahoo accounts

    Why not just open another GMail acct??

    Well I gave up. Bought a Telstra SIM for $2 and they want me to sign up go or a plan. Good number too. :/
