I received 2 free 02 sims by post yesterday.i called on 2425(for Bolt On)
from both sims and regitered* for calls-50(free for 3 months),
and surprisingly without toping up today i got 50 xnet minuts in both.
and i'll get those minuts for three months.you can also apply for 250 home & 02 minuts or 100 texts.
You can send text on 21300 to activate;*
-For 50 xnet minuts "calls50"
-For 250 minuts "HOME250. your full name. first line of address. postcode" to 21300. For example HOME250.mpatel.11Peterstreet.LS115WW
£2.50 credit is still waiting for me,when i'll register them.
:j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j
*(your free BoltOn will be loaded within 48 hours of activation)
Recent posts note that the offer has been extended - but the terms have changed, ( SEE ITEM 3 ON T+C'S from 11th JANUARY),
- NOW you are told that you can have the treat for UP TP 3 MONTHS and that this is dependent on topping up in the 2nd+3rd months.
BEFORE,(SEE ITEM 3 ON T+C'S until 10th JANUARY),it said that once given the treat was FOR 3 MONTHS.Still could be worth it for the £2.50 and 1 months bolt on I suppose - worth trying.
Thanks again for the original post.

Eillen I sent the text for the bolt on for cross over minutes then went onto website to register the (brand new received about a month ago) sim card. i then rang the 4444 number and was told i had 300 free texts and the 1gb.. i tried again this morning from the phone to see if the bolt on had arrived or the £2.50 credit, this time i was told i had no bolt on or a bolt on like friends that a balance couldnt be given on.. so seems it was not to be! sorry to have mislead but it did seem like i had got them... will let you know what happens next.. if anything! lol

O.K. - I will try another one today and report back what happens.
You are probably right about it as o2 seem to have slipped up,(to our advantage thanks to you), so many times before.

In advance,if its your 4th month then they must've charged for that.
if you have activated now they probably you will get your credit back.MSE IS AN ADDICTION0 -

Hi Muhamid,
Apologies for being so sketchy on the details and thanks for your prompt reply
It's actually a new O2 sim card on a new account. I activated the bolt-on in the early hours of 12th Jan by texting 'calls50' to the number given in your original post. I think I must have done this after I topped-up £10 by credit card via the free automated service.
I got a text today saying £7.99 has been deducted from my balance.
Hope that helps some more.
Thanks0 -
I had a text today telling me that my free calls 50 ends in a few days pointing out that I will be charged £7.99 if I do not cancel, and it even told me what to do to cancel it0
