  • Hi - can you register more than one of these sims and get £2.50 call credit for each or is it one per person?

    Firstly, thanks to Muhamid for this post. I've tried this tip and haven't quite got the same results. I used a new SIM with no credit on it and got the 50 texts bolt on by calling 2425 and then sending a text. I haven't got my 50 minutes yet, but have managed somehow to get 300 texts, which I guess are the monthly allowance you get *when* you top up. My balance is still zero, and I've sucessfully sent a couple of texts, which are being deducted from my monthly allowance. Has anyone else had this experience?

    On a similar note. I have an Orange SIM, which was also free, and I've been sending texts from this for the past couple of days without the balance going down. :confused:

    Thanks Muhamid. Do you happen to know the equivalent code to find out the month's outstanding mins and text for o2 contract customers?
