Received the free bolt on this morning, thanks Muhamid.Before you buy Google Nest or British Gas Hive check out ESPproMon the Android and iOS Smartphone app that helps you build the same system from just £30.0 -

Registered 10.35 am 30th Oct, bolt on confirmation 9.05 am today. Approx 23 hours. My experience indciates you need to register 'an address', get the £2.50 for registering and then apply for calls50 (etc). It could just be that the offer has now officially started (29th Oct) and you may not need to register an address (or top up) to get the calls50.
For the members who recieved the calls50 treat last week had you already registered an address or topped up or did you get the calls50 just by sending the text message to 21300 i.e. on a sim with absolutely no credit?Before you buy Google Nest or British Gas Hive check out ESPproMon the Android and iOS Smartphone app that helps you build the same system from just £30.0 -

i have registered all type of sims.i.e.1st i'd activated free bolt on on 2 (Not Regd. for Address)sims,Then i'd activated sims with zero credit (Regitered for address)And i never toped up any of the above sims.
The aim of this post is in T&Cs....

Thaks so much Mohammid - I have registered 2 of my free sims - Have managed to get so far;
2 Calls 50 offers - worth -£23:97x 2 = £47:94
2 regisration - worth -£2:50x 2 =£5:00
2 international bolt on - £4:99 x2 = £9:98
This adds up to £63:92p - and gives me 100 minutes per month for 3 months - Thanks again.
Not bad for £0:00 outlay and I can use the registration credit for international calls at 10p per min.
(n.b - International bolt on is free to ALL O2 customers until 10/01/2006 and well worth it as it gives off peak call to europe at 5p per min - and off peak to Oz, NZ, and USA+some others at 10p per min.)
This is v. good as off peak here is daytime in Oz + NZ.
I hope now that O2 have been taken over there will still be opportunities like this.0 -

:think: Same thing i was thinking about O2.
but they are not going to do any changes in system or their software.it's just a matter of ownership.we wish they don't do any changes in our benefits.;)MSE IS AN ADDICTION0 -
Hi i have recieved the bolt ons, how do you actually "opt out" will they tell you when you need to cancel? Also is there anyway of getting free messages instead of calls?
Hope you can helpV.L.W0 -

I looked on the site and it says that they will send a text 7 days before the last month ends and you can opt out at least 72 hours(3 days), before they are due to charge you by calling 2425 free on your phone and following the prompts.
If however when the day comes there is no credit on the phone they can't take it anyway can they and then you will have lost nothing.
As the offer is on until Jan 10th I was thinking that I might activate at least 1 new sim before that date to get another three months and the free £2:50 registration credit too.
Perhaps by then O2 will have plugged the loophole but one can always hope they haven't!!0
