    I have registered 2 sim cards and have had £2.50 put on. I rang the 2425 number for the calls 50 bolt on. I got a text reply saying that I would hear from them, but I haven't. That was 4 days ago. I tried again on a second card and sent a text message for the free 100 texts on 21300. Just got a text back to say that I am not eligible for one. Am I doing it correctly? Perhaps they've stopped it. I'm really pleased with the £2.50 free credit anyway.

    I today received two sim cards and it states I need to put on £10 credit:confused: .
    My son is home for a week from abroad & I'd like to give it to him to use.
    Can he just put it into his phone without paying anything. Call me thick ;) but I've waded through the thread and getting more confused! Thanks alot.

    I did do a test call on the first sim card and money was taken off. I've now given them to my sons to spend the free money, and I'm going to have a go with 2 more.

    Thanks for your help.

    Has anyone tried to get 200 or 400 free texts? It's the same number to text, just different words.

    I don't think that any such plan exists on O2 PAYG? or does it?

    I've just printed off their Pay & Go Bolt Ons page and they are all listed.

    I'm off out now so I'll see what people reckon tomorrow. Cheers.
  • I can tell you the 'Calls and Messaging' which costs £10 (allegedly lol) does not seem to work...

    Well I activated the calls50 originally, then tried to change to CallsandMessaging which did not work! It says my tariff is inelligble!

    But it may work on a fresh sim!
