Just a quick query, if you are upgrading from you "old" number (ie. the new sim card), how do they calculate your upgrade reward from your existing number if this to be your "new" number?
My apologies if I've missed anything, as I still don't understand how you get the free calltime from a new sim card that has never had any credit applied.0 -
A use for all the O2 SIMS everyone seems to grab everytime they come up You can get upto £50 but I only got a fiver - not bad for 2 mins work though
Details here
Step 1 - Get new sim card.
Step 2 - Send an SMS from existing handset with existing SIM Card to 865555 with the Mobile Phone Number that came with your new SIM Card (e.g. 07999 123 456) as the message.
Step 3 - O2 will send back a message confirming your upgrade and your free calltime credit amount.
Step 4 - The calltime credit will be applied to your calltime balance in 14 days. The new SIM card and new mobile phone number will be disconnected.
Step 5 - You can now use your new handset whilst retaining your existing number, calltime balance, Bolt Ons and any numbers stored on your SIM card.
Step 6 - Once calltime credit has been applied, bin the new SIM Card

The process now seems to be-
1. Call 5450 from your existing no. & handset
2. They give you an authorisation no. & let you know how much you'll be due
as credit to your EXISTING no.
3. Put your new(free?) sim card into your phone & dial the same no. using
this 'new' sim (for free)
4.They will then ask for auth code (given on the original call), your EXISTING
phone no.,your name, your postcode & house number.
5. They then confirm the amount to be credited in 14 days & advise that the
NEW/FREE SIM CARD no. will be disconnected straight away (so if you
have free or bought credit on this card then USE IT!!!!)0 -
Can't get this to work unfortunately for me. Thanks anyway.0

THIS SEEMS TO BE A INSECURE WAY OF DISCONNCTING YOUR ENIMYS O2 NUMBER!0 -
Sorry to ask another thick question - but I dont want the wrong number cut off!
I've done stage 1 and got my code. I now put the new (free) sim in and dial 5450 again. The first bit is "if you are dialing from the number you want to upgrade from press 1, if from the number you want to upgrade too press 2"
Which do I press 1 or 2????? Thanks for the help.0 -
It's ok, sorted. It was number 2 this time!
I've got an extra £2.00 top up. Thanks Jake.0 -
