Yes, I'm serious, and no you don't have to top up every month, you just need to make at least 1 call or 1 text messsage every 6 months to keep the line active.
I'm using one right now, it works perfectly. and best of all, you're not breaking any rules or doing anything illegal.

Why do you say it is not breaking the rules? Those sims are for supposed to be PAYG iphones only where you have bought the iphone from CPW or O2.

That would be breaking the rules, you're not allowed to use the sim card in any other phone, what happens is you will have unlimited internet until they realize you're using it in another phone, then they give you 30 days notice.

The terms and condition say that you get unlimited internet as long as its used in an iphone.
The only way i'd see this as breaking the rules is that it says on the sim package "not for sale seperate from iphone", which is not really me breaking "the rules" but the seller.

All phones have an IMEI, which is like a serial number, they can look that up on a table and realize its not an iphone.

yeah, but I'm guessing they don't do that.
I put my contract SIM into my new 3GS and took that payg sim and put it into my Nokia 5800
the O2 system certainly realised that I hadn't used that sim in that phone, but rather than block me, or text me saying I was using the sim innapropriately, they actually sent me several texts to configure the phone wap/mms/mobile internet settings
that suggests to me that their system doesn't look out for iphone sims in non-iphone phones

There have definately been reports of people getting text messages saying they need to put the sim back in an iphone, most get at least 3-4 months of usage out of it before getting a warning.

fair enough, I didn't manage to find any comments via google for people that had an issue like this
seems a bit hit and miss though when O2 clearly have a sure fire way of trapping such usage the first time another phone fires up with the iphone payg sim in it
