[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 1072439, member: 199791"] What sort of emergencies is it required for? If it's just to call 999, then you don't require a SIM in it, as it'll pick up any network available to route the call to the emergency services... If it's for other personal emergencies, then best go with a GiffGaff SIM (assuming the phone is not locked, don't think Virgin tended to do that, but can't be 100% sure), as they send reminders for keeping the SIM alive by email, and their SIMs still support GSM phones... :) [/QUOTE]
