My cousin has given me a 3 Mobile - an LG U880 Phone.
However to do anything with it - it seem I'll need a SIM
The phone has a built in MP3 Player and card slot for extra memory so mainly just want to use it for listening to music - but by the looks of it will need a SIM Card to even do this.
1. Is there any free SIM cards offer for 3?
2. Failing that there seem very cheap SIM's on eBay but either way do I actually have to put any money on the phone to keep it active?
I don't want to use it for phone calls just (although I see you can use MSN Messenger on certain 3 phones which may be useful) Music i.e.listening to MP3's on it's inbuilt memory. Do I have to put money on the SIM card to keep the phone working?

And you'll need to top up within a six month timeframe or the SIM becomes inactive.
