How do I get a Phones 4 U Card?

Phones 4 U have teamed up with MasterCard to launch the successful prepaid card called the Escape Card which is a pay as you go MasterCard.

Once you've filled in the Phones 4 U online form you'll need to load your Phones 4 U eAccount. The Card and Registration Fee will be deducted from your initial load.

The next step is to verify your email address by clicking a link in the email they will send you.

Phones 4 U will then post your Phones 4 U Prepaid MasterCard separately to your registered address and provide you with an activation code.

You should receive your Phones 4 U Card within 14 days of application. Once received, you then need to activate it by logging in to the Phones 4 U website and entering your activation code and 16-digit card number.

Your Phones 4 U Prepay Card and eAccount will then be active and you're ready to go!

The Card and Registration Fee £9.99 but if you use our apply link then they will refund £5.00 once you load your card with £100. Any money loaded on to your card will be deducted from the amount you first Load into your eAccount. This fee covers the cost of manufacture and despatch of your Phones 4 U Card, along with the administrative cost of setting up your eAccount. Anything remaining in your eAccount, after the Card and Registration Fee has been deducted (along with the Load Fee), forms your balance.
