How do I obtain a PAYG SIM without buying a data pack? The website purchasing page is as clear as mud about non-data services and rates.

@rcharlton : You can get any EE PAYG SIM from PAYG Phone SIM . They all work on any 'G' phone.

 

All EE PAYG SIMs come primed with a recurring Pack of allowances ready to bought out of your PAYG credit as soon as it is sufficient. 

 

However, by texting STOP PACK to 150 before you 1st top-up, you can use the SIM for calls & texts but not data as normal PAYG at standard per-unit rates paid for out of your standing PAYG credit balance.

 

To save the SIM going into hibernation due to lack of use, just remember within every 179 days (~ 6 months) to make a chargeable action like making a chargeable call or text, topping up or buying a Pack or Add-on, not just using your mins, texts or data from any Pack or Add-on you might have.
