Cheap SIM for Social Signups

Wanted to crowd source experiences on cheap secondary SIM card to use with social media and other spam signups. Ideally a sim card I could load a few dollars to and keep it active to receive an occasional sms.

    Can I just get a $5 Aldi sim card with PAYG?

    • That's what I've done for iCloud and some other services

    I use an Amaysim SIM as an easy/cheap secondary sim, $10/year PAYG. eSim compatible.

    On occasion, one of those Boost Cashback SIMs for competitions/spam/random sign-ups, the number stays active for 6 months after your recharge expires

    • I saw the Amaysim option
      The package says 28 days expiry - what does that mean?

        Should be this one

        28 days to use the inclusions for that plan, disable auto-renew straight away and switch to PAYG near the end of your cycle (e.g. at day 23)

        • Ahhh that makes sense

        No, you need to choose the "Pay as you Go" plan…

        $10 per year.

        • Yeah this is what I was confused about. I can buy a started pack like a $10 at woolies and convert to PAYG yes?

          • @jrchurvnjef: yes
            or a $2 sim, set up payg and pay $10

            • @jv: I thought about that! That said I wanted a sim that's not attached to me in any way just in case

  • Next time there is a boost cashback deal on the $35 SIMs, purchase a few.

    I have some which were activated in September 2023 still able to receive new SMS.
