    It was the case for about 2 years, but then they realised that it was a stupid decision.

    The reason was there was mainly 2G handsets in use and their sims do not work in most 2G handsets and if they do work they constantly roam on Vodafones network costing 3 money so it was not just stupidity

    Yes.

    They thought they could get everyone to 3 by buying one of their handsets. They realised that wasn't the case 2 years on, when they saw people looking for sims, and buying them from people who got them free from people who upgrade and got one free.
