Its probably one of the O2 Iphone SIM's that gives you 12 months free internet when you first put £10 on it. After the 12 months the internet reverts to £10 per month.

Note that O2 are now heavily cracking down on this particular scam by checking that SIM's are actually being used by Iphone devices.

There a couple other scams around as well but generally the mobile operators are closing the holes pretty quickly now.
