    I 'think' my sims are less than 6 months old but can't be sure. It failed on the first one I tried (haven't tried any more yet). Has anyone successfully obtained the 'treat' on a sim older than 6 months?

    My sims are 20MSSIMN rather than 20VMSIMN, does it only work with 20VMSIMN?

    What is the precise procedure, if 20MSSIMN's possibly older than 6 months do work, e.g. before any top up ring XXXX, then text XXXXX etc?

    so will you get 50cross net minutes each month for 3 months?

    What happens after that? If I dont top up then will I still receive incoming calls...if so how long for because surely at some point they will stop the sim if i dont ever top-up....wont they?

    Thanks Muhamid..you are a dude!!!
    o2 sends lots of free sims so you can order new sims for after 3 months.

    Even,I have few sims more than 6 months old(without topup) when i checked them they're still working.
    so can't say any thing about 02.:p

    i don't think it will work on 6 months older sims.
    Did you get failure msg. from o2 on your sim?
    you shoud try on all.you are not going to loose any thing.
    if it will not work then i'm sure 'Treat for old sims' will be for you.

    Whichever sim you have you can activate this free bolt on.The serial of the sims have no concern with free 50 xnet mins.

    Thanks.

    I will try some of my other sims as they were received at different times. I have a sim that is about 8 months old with £12 credit on but as I hardly ever use it there are no treats available i.e. you need to average more than £10/month spend over the last 3 months (and to have registered the sim more than 6 months ago).

    As my other 7 or 8 sims were not registered 6 months ago surely there will be no treats available?

    your sims should be considered either in new or in old.
    as i said you apply for new customer's treat if it works otherwise go for bit less mins. by calling 2211.
    if they are 6 months old sims.

    Muhamid,

    Things are starting to work for me now. I have just received the £2.50 without any top up i.e. I just registered on the web site. I have sent another text for the calls50 joining treat. Do you think I will receive the treat in the next 48 hours?

    yes,you should receive your free mins.
    For bolt On did you receive confirmation text from o2?

    I have received the confirmation from O2 that I have applied for the bolt on but I have received this 3 or 4 times before. It is normally followed by the 'sorry you need to top-up....' message. Fingers crossed that now I have the free £2.50 on the account I will receive the free bolt on.
