3, as part of their Free Calls Forever campaign, are offering free SIMs – one for you and one for a friend.

All you need to do is get your free SIM, pop it in a unlocked 3G phone and you’ll be able to Skype your day away, all day, every day for nothing. All you need to do is head here and enter your details and 3 will aim to deliver your pair of SIMs within five working days.

“We’ll send you a free SIM, plus an extra one to give to a mate – so you can both benefit from free calls to each other. The more people you tell about this great offer, the more people you can talk to for free…”

Let us know what you think by leaving a comment below.

*update* Apologies on our behalf for suggesting you can Skype away all day… this isn’t as yet the case. Although you’ll be able to make regular calls, Skype won’t be available until later in the year via the free SIMs – likely early Q4.

*Further update* As there was some confusion around this we sought some clarification from 3 – Skype will work on almost all 3 branded 3G handsets, but at the moment not on 3G handsets that hadn’t originally come from 3. 3 have told us they’re working on a solution over the summer that might solve this problem for some of the most popular 3G handsets that hadn’t originally been bought from 3. In the meantime, the good news is you can use 3’s SIMs in non 3 3G handsets to make calls, send texts, and access the internet. And if you’re using one of the free PAYG SIMs currently being given away, you can get free texts and internet everytime you top up – no matter where your 3G phone came from.
